One thing I’ve noticed about primary races this year. Strong male Maine accents are apparently awesome but strong female Michigan accents are horrendous. This isn’t true, of course but it is something to see how ppl are dazzled by male American accents and turn around and mock female ones.
One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️
i'll have to check out morris katz. it is just so shocking to me that the two people in the interview had so much influence because they seem so trite, & look what they've done to 'democrats' & to the state of maine. i mean, how on earth does something like this happen?
Right now there is a growing financial scandal in the Platner campaign. They took in millions of dollars and it's unclear where it all went and how Morris Katz was paid and how much. Same with Dan Moraff. They have a lot of 'splaining to do.

"I am amazed how his voice changes over the course of this brief interview – going from bassoon to oboe in a matter of seconds" i *love* this description because i played oboe in high school band & my sister played the bassoon. memories. 😂 👍 his voice was so odd. they were creepy!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the World Cup. I have loved cheering for the US team. Then that fucker intervened. Yes, the red card was excessive, but I would rather lose because of it than win because Imbecile called FIFA. The joy is gone. Now we’re the bad guys. He destroys everything.
Randy Rainbow has done it again! If you haven’t seen Randy Rainbow’s 🎶De-Mented🎶 yet, do yourself a favor. Sharp satire, brilliant lyrics & the perfect dose of humor when we all need a laugh!😂 #SheShed

When one woman fell rounding the bases, it wasn't her teammates who carried her. It was the women on the opposing team! That's women empowering women! At the SheShed, we lift each other up, lend a helping hand & celebrate one another! Here's to encouragement, empathy & sisterhood! #SheShed
At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

We need more white people to step up and say this isn't ok!!! It will take all of us.
Last bit of #ShadowPlay for the #BlueSkyArtShow. Shadows or reflections or both? Two friends with one of their sons. #GooseRockBeach, #Maine
