A very close up photo of a washed-out pink rose.

He loves me. He loves me not. No, I love me. The end.

A bird’s view of 8 pastel-colored roses in a glass vase. The burnt orange table acts as the background.

Mother Nature is called that for a reason. It’s nurturing, always presenting, and grounded. More than ever, we need to be the roses. Wide open, but it isn’t without the thorns.

Do you write one page then hand it over to the other writer? Then the next til it hits the 10th page? My kids do this, but with drawing or painting.

A painting of a flower that’s also an eye looking north east. It’s mostly teal with lines of lavender, pale pink, and green-yellow. The background reminds me of dawn, but it’s speckled in bright white, dark teal, and lavender. The artist is my one and only first daughter. Any title suggestions?

If there’s even going to be a history book on the right side… the way we’re heading, we’re screwed.

What might not be obvious is the car window is full of mini frozen snowflakes. In the background is the light blue morning sky (the irony!) and a mountain with one thick tree on the very right bottom.

The cold bothers me, but not this view.

The term “woke” has become inflammatory and we need to find a way to reclaim woke. Empathy is the answer, no matter who or what you are.

Democratic leaders:

I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working.

Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Well, way to stay relevant. Producers and executives love that.

Totally the opposite of you. Lived in Los Angeles for over 20 years… This March, it’ll be 13 years of living in Austin. LA will always be my home.

Color-code* (where’s the highlight for this error? 😂)

I highlight/color-codes them in different colors - repetitive words, action lines that need tweaking, an error, on the nose dialogues, and so on. Easy to spot on page!

If you see that TikTok message about Dear Leader and are still gonna use it when it comes back, I don’t know what to tell you.

Wicked has moved up to my top 3 movie musicals: Grease, Moulin Rogue, and Wicked (in no particular order). What did for me was this quote, “Do you think I want to be this way? Do you think I want to care this much? Don’t you know how much easier my life would be if I didn’t.” 💚✨

Thank you Rikki!!!!! In such great company.

Never taken a real interest in politics (besides voting) until this presidential election. Goal is to be more proactive, but it’s all confusing! Appreciate people like you staying on top of it and sharing info with us all. 🙌

If this is successful, how long do you think it’ll take to remove DOE in its entirety? My oldest attends a school that is 100% federally-funded. Uncertain what that means and for other programs.

As he should!!! It’s a crime that Phoenix police beat Tyron up. May you win BIG!

Hi!

Is it on Green street?

Me tooo! Me tooooo! No such a thing as over liking or comment. The best things in life are free. 🩷

Yeah… wish it was returned. Yet, I somehow continue to check in with others. Then I mumble to myself, wondering if anyone truly cares and would love more than anything for them to simply reach out more often. Feels like it’s a lot to ask these days.

It’s never too late! There are many Deaf artists who discovered ASL and culture later on. I don’t know about you, but there’s rawness and realness in their art. Hope it’s not the last devia art for you. 🙌

At the time it came out, I wasn’t ready to say anything. But Kate reached out to me through a mutual friend…asking me what it was like to be a Deaf person. Still have the emails. And then, she ghosted on me… I learned my lesson the hard way and had no idea she was going to be the Deaf character.

Flowers are her subject, but can you share Georgia’s artwork that you speak of? Funny thing is that the photo was taken in Georgia.

Disabled people are worth protecting. Period.

A pleasant surprise to see me on the list. Thanks for making this happen for us all.

Ahhh, followed em all! Can’t wait to check out some of the new artists. Thank you for setting this up.

I was trying to think of something intelligent to say about how many more deaf kids we are about to have from rubella and measles, while we simultaneously delete all accessibility/special ed protections, but "fuck" is pretty much all I could come up with.
