This morning I was really sad over my oldest sister’s death (a week today). Then I happened upon this old pic and felt great joy. That Sunny on her fishing line, that smile on her face….
She died of complications from Spina Bifida, a birth defect, at age 70. She had a good “run.”

I love #science. This is one of the University of Delaware’s oceanographic research vessels docked in Roosevelt Inlet before the higher surf from Erin moves up the coast.

I found a 1990s brochure I wrote on bereavement in an AIDS-related death. 200k copies went to U.S. funeral homes. It was sponsored by the National Funeral Directors Association and National Leadership Coalition on AIDS. Important in telling American history and specifically #LGBTQ history.

I’m sorting boxes of stuff from events I’ve photographed and came across many interesting and historic pieces. If you have any papers, pics, programs from “D.E.I.” Pls keep it. We might have to rebuild collections at museums and libraries some day!

Andrea, have you ever tried parm squash crisps? I’ve been making them in my toaster oven/air fryer and really like them. Overdid the olive oil here…. but it’s good for us.
Oh, and ground parm works better than grated.
20 min at around 400 and they’re done!

Yeah, Alan's book "Abuse Excuse" was a real tell, too.
He's another one who lacks capacity for empathy, among other things.

I've been fighting this language battle for decades. And while you're at it, pls stop saying "inc3st" -- it's "child sexual assault or rape by a relative. It's also domestic violence. Yeah, it takes a few more words to say but MAKE room for it! #EpsteinFiles

Can’t recommend the edamame fettuccine — at least with pesto. Maybe ok w/tomato sauce. I kept wanting to pour maple syrup on it for some sweetness. It leaned bitter. That sort of defeats the purpose of low carb alternatives.

Historical perspective matters when evaluating where we are re: speaking out abt abuse. These artifacts are from the 80s/90s when I began doing media. We've come a long way. Brown U has my papers from that era, and will receive many more items such as these. #CSA #DV #IPV #Media #History
