GOOD MORNING.

Fixed it for ya sim 😂

Had to get up super early to shovel & take someone to train station. As much as I was dreading more snow, it is so beautiful at 5am & quiet & snowy. Also the acoustics of a snow storm are my fav!

Joanne Bland, one of the youngest people to march on “Bloody Sunday,” has died. She was 72. "By the time I was 11-years-old, I had been arrested at least 13 documented times”

Just found this photo of me reporting in New Bedford this summer, on scallops - or a scallop shucking contest, for an NPR story. This was BEFORE I got covered in scallop shells and ligaments, mouth, and more. WHO TOOK THIS PHOTO? I wish I knew.

Winter weather advisory & snow coming again?? Nooooooooooo

As Ramadan begins, traditional lanterns called fawanees brighten Cairo. They have become a symbol of Ramadan and are an almost-mandatory home decoration for the holy month in Egypt. n.pr/4tH7zxB

This is my boy, Sim, mid yawn. Also his feeling about 2026 in general.

Somedays, things just come together. I like these kind of days ⚡️🩷

Honored to be screening our short film, The Incredible Paulk, next month at the Bilbao Surf Film Festival in Bilbao Spain. See ya soon, Bilbao! 🩵🌊

Watching the @nba.com all star game on Telemundo, and it’s in Spanish. Which confirms I have a lot of learning left before heading to a Spanish speaking country next month 👀

At some supremely fresh sea urchin out of the shell. I feel ALIVE!

Secretary of State (Maine) Shenna Bellows just appeared at a rally in downtown Portland today.

It’s safe to say that I have a tamale guy in Maine. My go to…!

Woke up early this morning and it was still dark. I saw the most beautiful bright sliver of the moon in the sky. The moon, whatever shape, is such a good companion, isn’t it? 🌙

Only 1 in 1000 lobster babies survive? Per the article. This I didn’t know! 👀🦞🦞 www.pressherald.com?p=7585544&uu...

Can I train my cat to respond to emails? Dear friends and community, what say you?????

While 5:30pm in Maine is no longer midnight, it’s still 11pm! 👀

My cat thinks the cat Valentine’s Day card & the (my) coconut water are for him. And, in a way, it’s all for him, yeah.

New Epstein documents expose emails with Ghislaine Maxwell and deepen scrutiny of Casey Wasserman as pressure grows over his leadership of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics

Sun, but wind. My soundtrack for this is Cat Power.

The CUTEST BOY ever! 😭

That was sooo great!!

Made my breakfast on this cooooold morning in Maine.

I never knew cats have whiskers on their legs and paws called carpal whiskers! Used for navigation and hunting

Really great read

The thing about going out and seeing art, poetry and music (and my pals and their work) is that art and the practice of making it shows we can go on. Despite the hardships! Right?

Sigh. Thread …

Good summary of things overall

And have given him solo shows with those songs!

It’s 9am, I’ve already written at least 5 songs about my cat. Hahahhahaha

One more comment on the Post debacle: this hurts journalism broadly. Good journalists will go do something else. The rest will be fighting for fewer jobs and everyone will earn less. Fewer people will take up the career. The damage done is to the ecosystem, as well as the paper.

2026 in a nutshell: let me just get through this crisis and I’ll respond. Wait, this crisis came up, can you gimmie a minute? Hold up, a thing came up… anyone else?

The thought was stuck in my mind from about 3pm on today that I was going to have chocolate chip cookies for dinner. Hahah hope my doctor ain’t on here (sorry)

CNN is reporting the real reason Trump is closing the Kennedy Centre for two years is not for renovation: “the Kennedy Center does not have a 2026/2027 season. There would not have been any programming to announce."

Whoa 👀

The Kennedy Center.

Forgot to mention I woke up really early. It was still dark & cold. And the moon was beautiful and bright in the sky. I stood at the window watching it for a while. Was it full? 🌕🌖?
