Richard Lee is starring in The Hobbit @stratfest.bsky.social! He also starred in in my play, Terminally Ill (inspired by book windtreepress.com/portfolio/te...). I'm sure it's related. I got up at 0345 and took a train and bus to cheer him on. Fantastic show. Bravo! substack.com/home/post/p-...

"Signs of Fascism" originated in my town. (Sequim, WA) I filmed it. I remember getting a call, "hey your video got 5,000 views." By the end of the day it had 60K. Over 100K in a few days from just one platform. Then my DM blew up! Everyone wanted to replicate the signs. Nice to see the signs today.

Roxy Yuan-Innes, 13 3/4 minus 3 days. For the past ten months, she has fought high grade mast cell tumors and metastatic thyroid cancer, yet never stopped loving and giving. Even in the waiting room at the vet today, she made friends. Love you forever, my beautiful girl. Thank you.

"Anyone wanna go plant endangered native plants that are illegal to remove on the land they want to build data centers?"

"Environmental scientist here. Plant Elderberry shrubs Sambucus spp, which are native to North America. It's illegal to remove them because they provide habitat to Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetles, which are federally protected by the Endangered Species Act."

Ramadan Mubarek. I was in Cairo in 2019 during Ramadan. After sunset, the lights came on, and a man passed out juice boxes at the intersection. I took one and thanked him sincerely. This was even more precious in a place where you’re not supposed to drink the water.

And so I’m glad I went. I’m glad I shouted in the rain until I was hoarse. I just want to encourage other people, if you think there’s no point, you’re mistaken. Just by showing up, you’re telling the bullies you aren’t afraid, and you’re telling their potential victims they aren’t alone.
