Celebrating #NationalWomensDay with hope for the future, thanks to the students at @galacademyla. ⚛️🧠🚺 At last month's #YoungWomensCareerConference, over a hundred women who excel in a wide range of fields shared their wisdom and expertise with the students at California's first all-girls public STEM school.
I had the pleasure of watching @whitnut enthrall a room of journalism students when telling them about her career as a science writer and press officer at Caltech. Then I had the honor of speaking on the entertainment panel with @lparres and @jquine, who thrilled our room of students when explaining their careers as TV writers and producers, including how science and technology intersect with their creative endeavors.
Thank you to everyone who worked on this enormous event, especially @chelsjaywags for inviting me to meet so many wonderful young people. Talking to the GALA students was indeed a ray of sunshine on a rare rainy day in LA.

When we shot this scene from @mindthiefmovie, it too was a rainy late-winter day. 🎥☔️✨Congrats to @matt_steinauer and @angeliquepretorius on winning Best Screenplay at @bostonscifi! I’m thrilled to be a part of the Mind Thief experiment. I mean, movie.

I’m delighted to share that the @latimes published the story of my musical meet-cute with Denny at @laopera! ❤️🎶❤️ Link in bio. The essay will appear on Sunday in print as, “A Libretto of Our Own.”
Special thanks to @rosa_covered_glasses for sitting beside me on the bus at the after party and finding me my soulmate, and special thanks to @sarah.herrington whose guidance in #MindfulWritingWorkshop helped bring this essay to life.
And extra special thanks to my Den for loving me, despite my love of opera.
Also—how fabulous is this illustration by @vloveg?

Happy citrus season, friends! 🍊🍋🍊Growing

Happy citrus season, friends! 🍊🍋🍊Growing up in the chilly winters of the Rocky Mountains, my dad told me stories about how, in Southern California, you could wake up on Christmas morning and pick fruit from your very own orange tree. That seemed incomprehensible to me at the time—there was a foot of snow on the ground.
Today, I’m sitting in my sunny mid-winter climate victory garden, replete with lemon tree, about to devour a California-grown @sumocitrus, making real my childhood imaginings. I’ve truly turned into a thin-blooded LA lizard.
Learn all about citrus in my new piece on @thedailymeal. Thanks to Samantha of @goodlifeorganics for speaking with me about small-scale farms and variegated pink lemons.

#FBF to 1918 and “The Tiger Rag” 🎹🎩🎶

#FBF to 1918 and “The Tiger Rag” 🎹🎩🎶 My dad is the absolute cutest when he plays this little ditty on solo guitar, so I convinced him to play it with me on piano. We ran through it maybe three times when Denny caught us on camera.
I owe everything I know about music to my incredibly talented Daddio, and it’s too much fun playing with him. Plus, we’re playing an 1898 upright piano my mom bought with her babysitting money in 1963. So much family history in one moment!

☯️The End and the Beginning☯️ Ameen Rihani

☯️The End and the Beginning☯️
Ameen Rihani - 1876-1940
The deed is done, O Kings: the blood is shed:
The sword is broken:—broken, too, the Cross.
But she, the mother eternal of the dead,
Though sorrow-laden, smiles at the loss.
You go down grimed with the blood and smoke of wars;
Your armies scattered and your banners furled;
She comes down covered with the dust of stars,
And gives her life again to build the world.

🤍 GRATEFUL 🤍 Today and every day.
In advance of #SecondhandSunday (encouraging folks to buy used clothes and goodies as gifts), Denny and I want to show you just how great #secondhandfashion can look. I found this dress at an @oxfamgb shop in 2018, and the hat is around 10 years old. Den's shirt and shorts came from vintage and thrift stores. (He's now a #secondhandfirst convert.)
When you #shopsecondhand, you help reduce the 11 million tons of textile waste that winds up in landfills and incinerators. There's no better way to show your love for your friends, family, and the planet.
