In honor of my brother
@samriegel
’s birthday, here are a bunch of photos of him drinking coffee. He hates coffee. But he insists on drinking it anyway every day when traveling. I really, really love this weirdo. Happy birthday, Sam!!
When quarantine is over, we'll recreate this photo. In the meantime, don your imaginary finest and wish my brother
@samriegel
the happiest of birthdays! Growing up, whenever I cried, Sam always made me laugh. What's changed? Nothing!
Please watch this important personal update from my brother
@samriegel
. I know everyone who loves Sam (and there sure are a lot of us!) is very grateful for the wonderful care he received, and relieved to see him in recovery. I'm so proud to be his sister. 💗
Welcome back to our fearless leader, bard extraordinaire, and a true inspiration
@samriegel
! ✨
Thank you one and all for your patience, kindness, and respect for Sam's privacy as he's been on the mend - join him below for an important message about his journey and recovery. 💕
As Trump’s enablers flee from this sinking ship, and pretend they were fighting the evil from inside, it’s very important that we don’t let them get away with it. There have to be steep consequences to abetting a criminal, amoral, corrupt, and norm-shattering administration.
Loved the premiere of

The reason I'm obsessed with reparations is that my grandmother received a pension from the German government until her death for having been denied an education and other civil liberties as a girl under the 3rd Reich. It meant so much to her and to me that real amends were made.
Kids get Covid now. Kids spread Covid now. Kids are hospitalized and die from Covid now. This is not the same pandemic as last year. Please get vaccinated to protect kids. Please provide a remote option for schools. And parents, cool it with the parties and play dates 🙏🏻.

@CrashBandicoot
Filled with gratitude and relief as my kids (ages 10 and 7) were able to get their COVID-19 vaccination last night! We are euphoric and the boys were so excited to get to school and share their good news. So proud of these brave goobers.

Like many of you I watched this S2 promo several times, then watched it again frame by frame! So much sumptuous animation it deserves to be savored slowly. Congrats

Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Dana is incredibly brave and rad and I love her and everything she said. Support the livestream March 13!

Jared and Ivanka do not get invitations to the Met Ball and Fashion Week. It’s over. They need to regret everyday that they participated in this grift or, mark my words, they will do it again. Others will follow. It will be worse next time.
If there aren’t, it will happen again. They cannot be allowed to reenter polite society. That means no appearances on Dancing with the Stars, no CNN analyst gigs, no invitations to the Kennedy School. They don’t get to come to the block party or the school fundraiser.
President Zelensky addresses tens of thousands of anti-war protesters in Prague tonight:
“If we win—and I’m sure we will win—this will be a victory of the whole democratic world.“
Uh oh I'm already weepy. This masterful series is coming to an end, and I am so dang proud and honored to have been a part of it. Saying goodbye is not going to be easy. Thank you

Thread. Make no mistake, a president 1.1 Billion dollars in personal debt, much of it coming due soon, is for sale to the highest bidder and a national security threat. He should resign, but won’t. They should impeach, but won’t. Remove him from office. VOTE!

story is terrific. I had about a million thoughts as I was reading though. I'll be annotating those here, in this thread, for the next few hours.
This is all said so well. Pls read. Consequences and accountability are the only way forward. Civility/evidence-less faith today = more crimes, divisiveness, obstructionism tomorrow.
There are already calls for "forgiveness" and "healing" and "reaching out" now that Joe Biden is elected.
I understand the impulse behind these statements, but they are FUNDAMENTALLY immoral

Can we just give a huge round of applause for the cast who brought so much life into these characters so far? Can't wait to hear them again in Season 3!

Reproductive freedom (i.e. personhood for women) is on the ballot. Make sure you can vote. A Trump victory will mean a 7/2 supreme court for a generation. If we don’t turn out this year in massive numbers we are asking for tyranny and oppression.
Thousands of ballots continued to stream into U.S. Postal Service facilities Monday, according to newly filed court documents, too late in many states to be counted, even if postmarked by Election Day.
I'm pleased to say that ALL of

An important read. “Years from now, we will look back in horror at the counterproductive ways we addressed the obesity epidemic and the barbaric ways we treated fat people—long after we knew there was a better path.”
Made myself a cake! My birthday is cool because it’s a fresh start for everyone. Here’s to an improved 2022. Everyone please stay safe and hopeful. I love and care about you all. ❤️❤️❤️

That is one awesome kid! To know yourself, at such a young age -- what a gift! Thanks, Karter, for inspiring us all to try to be a little more like you.
A kind and funny human I grew up with is dead today. Chris Trousdale's memory is electric - He was one of the most alive people on this planet. I am shaken. He died of complications of COVID-19. He was 34. May his death be a reminder the virus is still a danger. Please stay safe.
Anyone else feel really different? I feel as much joy as I expected. But also something else heavy, tense, and dreadful, suddenly gone. I got so used to it I didn’t even know it was there. And now? Lifted.
My son has recently introduced me to Axolotls and, no matter what’s going on in my day, if I just Google these little cuties I’m instantly absurdly happy. Look that those faces!
In the most American of tales, Honestie Hodges, who was handcuffed at gunpoint by police at the tender age of 11, has now died of COVID-19. Please help her family if you can.
Henry is 8! This child has always brought, and continues daily to bring, intense joy to all who know him. I’m lucky I get to be one of them, and profoundly proud to be his mom.
Since the pandemic has traded public health guidance for personal responsibility, lemme say without equivocation it is your PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY to wear a mask for at least a week and get tested after attending a Con, traveling, or engaging in other risky behavior.

Definitely one of the best scenes in today's episode! 😂 I love how meta it was but wasn't overly breaking the 4th wall. A great way to use and show the nerdy side of Marcy! 💚
