Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Holy moly! Philly is showing up to march for No Kings!

This flag hangs in my home. I found it this way & bought it as a reminder—Our freedoms are hard fought & won. This old, tired American flag is beautiful to me because it reminds me that we have gone through hard times before and won. Our differences make us stronger. United, we stand. ❤️🇺🇸 #nokings

The world’s most honest disclaimer.

Hmmm... I always did love the movie Stripes. 😂

A few pix of River from our snowmageddon event yesterday. River loves the snow, and so do I - but I’m also ready for spring!

👏🏾Philly’s slavery exhibit is restored at the President’s House-panels depict the lives of 9 people enslaved by George Washington. “This is the American people fighting back & saying we will not accept this. Will not allow history to be rewritten.”-Independence Hall visitor. whyy.org/articles/phi...

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

River and I made a "Scare-wy Movie" - enjoy! 👻🎃

My friend & I are Colbert fans & went to a taping of The Late Show on May 1,2023—the eve of the writers' strike. So impressed w/his support of his writers. Both pix are from the day of taping—one is a screen grab (we were center, floor level, 2nd row). Bad move, CBS. Colbert will continue to thrive.

This pretty, peaceful butterfly spent some time the other day fluttering around my backyard. 🦋❤️

Spent this evening volunteering in the fossil quarry. I am a dino-nerd, even if I am a novice and the kids know more about the dinosaurs than I do. 🦕 🦖 😊

Unbelievable and believable at the same time.

Philly showin' up today

My little backyard is its own peaceful, mini-wildlife sanctuary. It is also my escape from all of the current worries, fear, and heartbreak in the world. ❤️

I saw this on my walk last night — a chalk message drawn on the sidewalk by one of the neighborhood kids. ❤️ Have a Good Day! 😊

A Japanese Maple seedling rooted itself right up next to my house. It couldn't stay there, so I transplanted it. Now I'm nurturing it, and when it grows up and is ready, I'm going to plant it in my back yard. I also love that its 2 leaves look like tiny angel wings.

I kept digging into that AI company behind Sports Illustrated's fake writers. Turns out it's created tons more fake writers across the web, sometimes for surprisingly huge media clients. And then things get even wilder... For @futurism.bsky.social // futurism.com/advon-ai-con...

Missing my beautiful boy, who crossed over the Rainbow Bridge on April 8th. But I know he is no longer in pain and is rocking his angel wings. ❤️🌈👼

Happy Saturday everyone! Here’s a charming little octopus from a Roman villa at Villaquejida, León, Spain. Limestone, 2nd-3rd century AD. 🐙❤️ Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid 📷 by me #Archaeology

My beautiful Copper crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 5:50pm on Tuesday, April 8. He passed peacefully in my arms. I'm heartbroken. But I know he is no longer suffering. He is running free on the other side. I will love my bestest buddy forever. ❤️💔

After 24 hours on his feet, Cory Booker is defending the scientific research establishment of this country - calling out an experience like the one that drives me and SO MANY of my fellow scientists to do the work we do - that maybe we can do for others what we couldn't for our own loved ones.

So proud of my senator! Thank you @booker.senate.gov !! www.youtube.com/live/Ej6locU...

The AHA has released a statement in support of the Smithsonian Institution, the target of the recent EO, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.” This order “egregiously misrepresents the work of the Smithsonian Institution” and “completely misconstrues the nature of historical work.” 🗃️

So very sorry to hear about the passing of Richard Chamberlain on March 29, 2025. A favorite interview clip from Bob Crane's KNX radio show was with Richard Chamberlain back during his days as Dr. Kildare (c. 1964). Have a listen and a chuckle. Rest in peace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW6f...

Lots of eggs here! This was such an unusual and interesting display at London's Gloucester Road Underground station in June 2019. The display by artist Heather Phillipson was called "My Name is Lettie Eggsyrub." Oh I love and miss London so much!

The seedlings in my veggie garden nursery make me so happy. Life is beautiful. ❤️🌱😊
