Pine tree = goat dewormer is my favorite new tidbit of information, haha. Happy birthday!! Thanks for this smorgasbord of joy/gratitude in a time when so many people are choosing dread, wallowing, and freakouts. The next four years are going to be tough enough, so finding and amplifying what is good is crucial, and it's something we can all do. Love and admiration to you, Birthday Queen! 👑

I am SO envious of your T collection! My fave among many in that grouping is “The patriarchy isn’t going fuck itself”. 🤣😂

Happy birthday! This is now in my commonplace/quotes book: “I love birthdays. I love getting older. I can’t believe I’m still alive. I feel really good about that.”

Happy Birthday! And sooo many precious gifts for us in this one! That dog leashing video is *Chef's Kiss*! I think I need to save it somewhere I can play whenever I bump into one of those "good dog" entitlement people. Thanks for all the other goodies you shared, too. Cheers to the Queen - many many happy returns!

Thank you so much! That video resonated so much, and the timing was so wonderful, that I had a brief narcissist-adjacent moment of really feeling like it was made in my honor. Hahahaha.

Happy happy Birthday! So glad to see you are in a state of joy about it! The only way to be! I turned 66 in December and keep discovering me! I must say I was looking forward to your bday bash at Hyde Park Theater. I hope you will be putting together some other event of readings/performance. I can offer support by attending lol RESIST is my theme for going forward. And I think we do this by supporting local community efforts of compassion. Fuck abbot and the orange one! I love your flag prints! have a great month and life! Christine

Hi Christine! Thank you so much. It really does seem true to me that overall, the older I get the better my head feels. This is such a relief and joy after decades of struggling. I decided to skip the HPT party this year and do some quiet contemplation. But I’m inspired by you and perhaps I can whip up a reading at the theatre sometime later this year. I hope in honor of my birthday month you will do something extra special for yourself. Xo
