This Thursday May 2, Erin Elyse Long and I will be doing our first-ever joint show for #ArtHop at Jeffrey Scott Agency in downtown #Fresno.
Take a trip to White Sands with us — hope to see you there!
Angry about how Yosemite is being put at risk by failed leadership? Here are some actions you can take:
1. Contact park leadership and elected officials (listed below). Post on social media and tag their accounts. Hold them accountable for their decision. Be sure to give specific examples of what is happening in the park as well as calling for them to follow decades of research and reinstate the reservation system.
Secretary of the @Interior@SecretaryBurgum
Contact at https://t.co/KII7ecwLwD
Yosemite Superintendent Ray McPadden https://t.co/3ehu2npcfV
Congressman Tom McClintock @RepMcClintock (the most vocal elected about eliminating reservations) as well as your elected officials--the park belongs to all Americans no matter where you live. https://t.co/U39FkZo7tn
2. Support organizations doing great advocacy work like National Parks Conservation Association @NPCA , The Coalition to Protect Americas National Parks, Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center
3. And please, thank a park ranger. I known many of them personally, they are dedicated people who truly love the park, and they are having to manage this nightmare.
Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.
Nothing makes my day more than Stephen Colbert, high on helium, singing a White Stripes song to Jack White in Monroe, MI on cable access. The day after his show ended. This guy has a future in the world of local cable access! 💜
I’ll never understand cruises. Best case, you are a hostage in a mid-tier resort and get to pop off at a Señor Frog’s. Worst case, millions are asking for your ship to be bombed to smithereens to prevent you from returning.
I like that building high speed rail in California requires nine thousand years of environmental impact studies but throwing up a data center the size of Texas takes fourteen seconds with zero material public support.
I just want to point out....
The amount of money the United States has spent on war in the last 67 days, is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never can we afford it, it's what we choose to prioritize.
Millennials are the elite generation because they cranked out 12-page essays the night before they were due. No ChatGPT. No Claude. Just lo-fi beats playing in the background, Black coffee at midnight, footnotes that were somehow correct, and pure delusion. Grade was an A minus. Period.
really love that Michael B Jordan's speech was about how his career and success was only possible because of what came before him while being celebrated as the lead actor in a film all about the inheritance of legacy of culture
It is my duty as a California native to tell you that going to Fresno - yes Fresno- and following the Blossom Trail at the peak of the season will make you feel like you’ve fallen into the world’s greatest production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
James Van Der Beek just passed from colorectal cancer, which has the second highest treatment cost of any cancer. Last year he auctioned off memorabilia from his tv and film career in order to pay for the staggering costs of his treatment
His family is now left to deal with the burden of his passing, both emotionally and financially.
US health care is THE most expensive globally and medical debt is still the number one reason for personal bankruptcy in this country. Millions of Americans (which include successful 90s television actors) are struggling every day under this for profit system that is designed to continuously reap enormous profits for the multi billion dollar companies within it. James’ family should not have to worry about staying financially afloat as they mourn his loss, just as no family or individual should face the reality of being one medical emergency away from losing everything.
When Bad Bunny said god bless America I was like “eh, really?” and then he listed all of the countries IN the Americas, LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I love him that was incredible.
