I think a lot about the story Carl Reiner told: he’d have been a sewing machine repairman if not for a free WPA drama class.

Exciting news! I've been working all year on a vertigo arts project in collaboration with others in academia, physical therapy, puppetry, and dance. Now the first part is out: I'm running a creative writing workshop for people who are directly or indirectly affected by vertigo. >

Been thinking for years about how to make 'International Stay In Bed Day' a real thing.

Some good points made here—

41 million people (including 20 million kids) will lose access to food in a few days while a new 90,000 square foot ballroom is being added to the White House. This political moment is profoundly disgusting.

A HUGE congratulations to CCS alum and fabulous (in both ways) writer @vajra.me !!! 🎉 We can't wait to see what he does next!

Kinda weird that nobody seems worried about the security implications of tearing down an exterior wall of the White House— ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

For the record, I, also, remain at large.
