tɫahayam! Grateful to be celebrating this #indigenousday while being enrolled in a Native language class. And grateful that the class is exposing me to the history of the language and people who have spoken it. Also, the revitalization project! #chinukwawa

Trump’s obsession with demonizing the Somali community is dangerous and reprehensible. Hate to break it to him: Somali Minnesotans are resilient. We will not let Trump intimidate us. Our neighbors have our back.

Watching The Fly 1958. So far it is verrrry good. Great storytelling. Great pacing. Having Vincent Price is a huge plus.

Happy 89th birthday to the World's Fastest Cartoonist, the legendary Sergio Aragonés! He arrived in NYC with $20 in 1962, found a home at MAD, and never looked back. I loved his work for DC - especially PLOP! - but he's also worked for Marvel, created GROO, & so much more! Long life & good health!
