Our friend Pamela just told us that “According to Jewish tradition, a person who dies on Rosh Hashanah, which began tonight, is a tzaddik, a person of great righteousness.” We found that very comforting. So strange to be eating these apples and honey with this sadness.
To Alaska (aka Amanda - we figured it out!) Thread - Thank you for sharing this with us. My dad died of cancer when I was 18. Kathryn's parents died within a year of each other when she was 25, her dad of a heart attack while her mom was sick with cancer....
The Princess Bride recently turned 35 years old. So grateful to have been a part of that piece and to everyone who had a hand in making it come to life.
Congratulations to Britney on her big news! As Kathryn says, bringing a child into the world is an act of radical optimism, and lord knows Britney deserves just that!
The love of my life turned 74 for the second year in a row yesterday as she doesn’t feel ready for 75! Since you only turn 74 twice once she’s asking anyone who would like to get her a b-day present to donate to building a stronger progressive movement ✨

This is what I would be doing on TV without writers.
Writers are asking for fairness: when the studios invest millions into producing a film or series, they can pay for the value writers create.

Folks, I was looking forward to debating
@LindseyGrahamSC
tonight. But because of his refusal to take a basic COVID test, we weren't able to be on stage together, debating the issues that are so important to our state.
It's my hope that we'll be able to change this next time.

The guy who wrote my prayers has died. His words were my Torah. Sondheim wrote what he wished for himself and the world at large. We'll be learning from his work as long as people are singing songs and beyond. Thank you Steve.

Our dog just completed heart worm medication where she wasn’t allowed to run around for two months. This is her first dog play date with her cousin Duke. It made me happy.
My son signed up as a poll worker to give us older folks, who usually power the polls, a break. If you’re not old AF like me (I don’t know what that means my son just said I should write it) you can sign up too. It pays and helps our democracy function!
Huge thanks to our writer, director and friend Ewen Wright who made this, our previous “campaign ad” and the next to come. Check him out at and follow

So hungry for this new administration. So much work to be done. So grateful to every person who got us here. Immigrant Irving Berlin came to the US from Russia at 5 years old. He wrote the song God Bless America. His first language was Yiddish.

Abortion was liberating for me and allowed me to become a parent when, how, and with whom I wanted. Everyone should have that fundamental right to self-determination, regardless of zip code, income, race, or gender. Links in thread to share resources and donate.

One of my favorite quotes is from the book written by Oscar Hammerstein from the Musical Carousel it's "As long as there's one person on earth who remembers you, it isn't over." That's part of why I like saying peoples names in my prayers and why I'll add your dad's name.
You kids today have it so easy.
When I was a kid, my dad made me to go to Cancun. In a blizzard. While our neighbors were in peril. With a police escort BOTH directions. And then he blamed it on me!

BREAKING: A Newsmax anchor just blew up and angrily cut off an American veteran who is helping to evacuate Americans and Afghan allies for pointing out that Trump is responsible for much of the problem. (h/t

Stop the execution of Julius Jones. At 19 years old, he was convicted of a murder he says he did not commit. He's lived on death row for 21 years, held in solitary confinement for 23 hrs a day and is allowed one hour of sunlight a day. Please read thread.
Hopefully todays right-wing rally in DC will blurp and fizzle without much noise as it aims to SUPPORT insurrectionists charged in the deadly 1/6 Capitol riot. Here's a sample of the letters my amazing wife wrote to officers Dunn, Gonell, Fanone and Hodges that testified. Thread
My amazing friend

for this speech. Understudies are heros and should be paid respect every day!
Pro tip from us - don’t try and pull porcupine quills out on your own. Go to vet immediately.
Pro tip from Becky dog - don’t try to make out, cuddle, dance, play, eat or nuzzle a porcupine.
Just had Covid for the first time. I'm incredibly grateful I had the vaccine & was up to date with my boosters. Over 300 a day still dying in US. Vaccine & boosters offer protection against hospitalization & death. 100% TRUE.

The loss of them has been a huge part of our lives and a huge part of what forged our bond together. We are so sorry for your loss, so moved that this movie meant something to you and your dad and so glad you asked this question....
Georgia, thank you. Together, we have changed the course of our state for the better. But our work is not done.

We hope you find all kinds of ways to keep the memory of him alive and all kinds of ways to move forward & through this pain and loss. Please let us know his name. As Kathryn Mentioned can be a great resource for 20 & 30 somethings who've experienced loss
