@MartineBotany Happy (belated) birthday! Don't want to make you feel jealous about the 50 thing, but I got there first 🥳

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@mtaeckens @eastforkpottery Love those, Mike! Brings back wonderful memories of our gift exchange during my visit in 2016. (Was it really that long ago??)

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@mtaeckens Yes, I can make that happen! Sunday? Email me to tell me what time is good for you.

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@mtaeckens Oh Mike, I know what you're going through, and I'm so, so sorry. Try to focus on how lucky you both were to have so many wonderful years together. I'm thinking of you...

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@mtaeckens I'm so sorry, Mike. I know how hard this must be. She's so fortunate to have all of your love & caring at this time of her life.

@mtaeckens I haven't read that since high school. You too? Would love to reread, but it's not happening this summer!

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@mtaeckens I'm so sorry to hear this, Mike. How horrible and sad...

@shockerbotany One tip: When you think you want a cigarette, tell yourself "Not now, maybe tomorrow." Then keep telling yourself that every day. Eventually, you'll realize that you don't want it anymore. Worked for me when I gave up eating meat 16 years ago!

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@mtaeckens @minjinlee11 Yes! Have you read any Calvino? I hope you love him. Calvino is one of my favorites (and Javier's). I second the recommendations for Invisible Cities and If on a Winter's Night a Traveler... Two mind-blowing books!

@MartineBotany If you haven't seen it already, I'm thinking you'd enjoy the BBC's Soul Deep series (https://t.co/fhYkjQ2O2t). Episodes available on Youtube!

Here’s my statement on today’s violence at the Capitol.

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@kheyduk Right---livestreaming CNN was not on my to-do list for this afternoon, but that's mostly what I did...🤯

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Words have consequences, especially the words of a president and his allies. Today those consequences include violent rioters attacking our Capitol to overthrow the American democratic process. This must end, and democracy must prevail.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

This is a colossal failure for The Secret Service, The Mayor of D.C., and the Washington D.C and Capitol Police.

If this can happen today (Jan 6), what do you think could happen on Inauguration Day (Jan 20) just TWO WEEKS from today?

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@mtaeckens What I would like to say to every one who voted for Trump: This is what you voted for. Lies, refusal to acknowledge reality, and chaos.

[Fred Smith @fredosmithjr]

Rev. Warnock was Congressman John Lewis's pastor. Ossoff was Lewis's intern. And somewhere, somehow both near and far, I have to think that Rep. Lewis is saying, "Well done."

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@mtaeckens Yay! So glad for you! I need to do this too, but have been avoiding scheduling it...

[Beth Parada @paradabeth]

@MartineBotany I'm so sorry to hear this! I hope your case stays mild and that you recover quickly. Sending positive thoughts your way...

@nora_flora10 Glasses since I was 10, contacts at 13. My prescription is so strong now that my optometrist has described it as being "in rare air." ☹️
