Went out for the laundry and found these beautiful gifts from the goddess waiting for me in the garden.

This is my dad. I love him very much. Spent the day with him at his favorite thing, a Cajon/Zydeco festival. We had a nice dance where I tried very hard to let him lead. He is a great dancer and an even greater human.

Blackberry season is upon us! Fresh picked this morning. The first batch is always the biggest! Southern California for the win!

Opinion should not always be construed as criticism. It just what I think on the matter.

Spent a few days on the Channel Islands off the coast of California this week doing research for upcoming book. I’m serializing on Substack. Shot a lot video and got inspired to make one of these. Peace for your soul.

Loving this show!

May gray Saturday. Pour over and all the time in the world to cuddle on the couch and catch up in my reading. Perhaps a Lord of the Rings marathon?

Thank you Greyhound!

Join a May Day mobilization on Thursday to remind Trump and the oligarchs controlling our government of working people’s power. We’ve teamed up with organized labor, immigrants’ rights groups and Hands Off! allies for a nationwide show of working people’s solidarity: maydaystrong.org?utm_source=i...

Hosting a woman’s retreat at the remarkable Beard And Lady Inn this weekend! Some photos from preproduction!

Just a lil reminder. Your words have energy and that energy is powerful and it goes out into the world beyond your face and impacts others. It also comes back to you. Choose wisely.

I was there! This photo is real! It looked just like that!

Walked into a tiny bookstore in my town and rather than being greeted warmly, we were curtly asked to leave our drinks on the counter instead. Mind you I am 51, my bf is 57 and our drinks had lids. Needless to say, we didn’t buy anything and won’t be going back.

Agreed.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

First day writing the new novel. 🙊 FREEHAND 2173 BC - Book of Charlotte.

If congressional Republicans will not speak to their constituents, we will. Please join us and let central Washington know we are not happy with the damage they are doing to beautiful communities from Tonasket to Toppenish, Pateros to Pasco.

How could any of us have known a recession was going to hit us by the middle of 2025? I wonder... did anybody see this coming? 🤔

Wow!

Everything is happening all around us.

Culture: to take care of, worship, cultivate, respect. Exactly.

We can surrender to the forces of autocracy, bigotry, xenophobia, and minoritarian rule. Or we can organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. We choose to organize: indivisible.org/groups

#handsoff

Doing my reading this morning before I make my sign (in support of our National Parks and in honor of my stepfather, John Beaver, who was a proud Park Ranger all his life) & head out to be part of the #handsoff peaceful protest! #handsoff our NPS!

Wild Friday night. Let’s do this!

Get loud Americans. The only way for us to preserve a bit of our global reputation and integrity. And boycott any company, law firm, individual who bends the knee.

Boston is ready for Saturday’s national day of action: handsoff2025.com/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

My sons #indivisable Long Beach group is OVER capacity for their in person meeting tonight. 🙏😊✌🏻😎

He was a wonderful actor. Rest in peace.

Perhaps this is a good sign… The hard-core Trumper the end of my block has taken down their brand new Trump flag! Maybe the tides are turning in our favor. Fingers crossed.

Hoping to see Americans participating in “Hands-Off” non violent protests this weekend, reclaiming the American flag. It belongs to all of us. “Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Trump and Elon have to go!” #handsoff

Yes. Yes I am.

Solid advice. Keep your eye on the future victory, not the temporary doom.

Important LA News. Finally. Let’s make a new plan.

@booker.senate.gov says the answer to "what should I do?" is "something. do something." One thing more than you are doing now. Help another person. Get out of bed.

Bravo! Fantastically done. More of this, please. Not just from him, but from us. #goodtrouble

do you think Cory Booker can make it for 3 years and about 10 months longer?

I would love to live in a society that takes more pride in caring with compassion for all its members, over pride in great monetary wealth for a few.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Sometimes I think that the idea of “an entire day off with nothing you have to do” is an entirely masculine concept.

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

Guys. Relax. We are smarter than them. Clearly. Out. Maneuver. End. Game.
