I lost the two people closest to me besides my husband and sister in 2023: my mother Leslie and @croz, here at a Crosby, Stills, and Nash show at the Fillmore in 2012, celebrating my mom's sobriety. It was one of the most fun nights of our lives. I was so lucky to love them both.

For those of you who are interested, there is a good bit of Steve Silberman's neurotribes that describes what was happening to disabled people in the run up to WW2.

It's a hard read. What horrified me was not the cruelty but the indifference. You wouldn't treat animals like that

I'm rarely here in this degraded place, but wanted to tell my friends that my mom Leslie, a beloved college teacher, has died. She had difficult last few years with , but in her last 48 hrs told my sister and I that she loved us, and died listening to Joni's 'Woodstock.'

What do we call normal Germans who weren't particularly anti-Semitic but voted for Hitler anyway and shrugged their shoulders as the Nazi agenda became clear?

WE CALL THEM NAZIS.

This is so dark. Amazing to watch in real time and on a global stage what people will do to their reputation and careers for money or whatever it is that she thinks she’s getting out of this.
