Pick a teacher — any teacher that taught you something enduring — and reach out. This day isn’t just for kids. It’s never too late to thank a teacher. #teachertwitter #TeacherAppreciationWeek #TeacherAppreciationDay

Crafts III by Paolo Soleri and friends. I’m tempted to binge post the entire photoset, but I shot some video too, which I’m not sure what do do with yet. I guess we all need to be making Reels now? 😂 instagram.com/p/CSDJPWIpl_c/… – at Arizona, USA

No, but last night I distinctly remember being radicalized against raising cane’s drive thru chicken at 7th Ave & Thomas.
Do you remember when/how you were radicalized against single-family zoning?

I don’t often tweet, but when I do it’s to tell you that the City of Scottsdale Council and Mayor voted to approve the development around Ralph Haver’s Triangle Building, with a preservation overlay. It’s fun to make history!

So awesome rescheduling my Spring 2020 festivals AGAIN to Spring of 2022. It's mind boggling to think live events folks are currently looking at a minimum of TWO YEARS without work. @kyrstensinema @RepAdamSchiff @SenSchumer @SenFeinstein @CaptMarkKelly
