“Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors.”

It’s almost embarrassing to play music with a human as amazingly talented as my dad. He taught me everything I need to know about music, and there’s nothing like jamming with him. We’re taking requests!!

I’ve diligently worked my entire life to cultivate the grace with which I was not born. Only in granting myself compassion did I truly find it.
Learn more about my journey with #EhlersDanlos and #hypermobility in today’s @huffpost. Thank you to editor Emily McCombs for the chance to share my story. I hope it helps someone else find an answer and perhaps hope for the future.

The newest member of the Rivas-Mora family is 12 weeks old and two whole pounds. His big sister Wamba is still not sure why this little fur ball keeps launching at her face, but given that they’re already snoozing together, we think they will be the best of pals.
Thank you to @lacoanimals and Baby Giac’s foster parent for taking such good care of him and his brothers (who also went to their fur-ever families the same day). Benvenuto, caro Giacomo!

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.
