- Reposted by Mary-Carol RiehsIt’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them. Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”
- Opening night of my theatre company's annual fundraiser Murder Mystery. It was fantastic! Audience was having a wonderful time! And then, during the bows, one of the cast collapsed. 911 call, paramedics were summond, and we don't know anything else. I hope he is recovering, but I...am not optimistic
- I feel for his family and friends, and for the young people in the cast who are so distraught. Please pray for Doug.

- Disappointed that I have to go be the Saturday Librarian
- I'm having a hard time focusing on work today because my thoughts and heart are full of concern for friends in Los Angeles as the fires rage there. So many places I used to go are gone now, and even my former home is threatened. Praying for you, my friends. Be safe.
