He taught me pool, but not cards. He loved my words and my music. We loved each other’s voices. I loved who he was and what we might have been. We were pretty different, but I still find myself, at stoplights, tapping the steering wheel along to the radio in the exact same way.

Lots of love sent my way on what would’ve been my dad’s 87th birthday. A celebrity parent is a sword w 2 edges. There are things he showed us that he never showed you, and vice versa. But what’s so beautiful is the amount of joy his work brought the world. Thanks, everybody.❤️❤️

Overwhelmed at the love I got yesterday for posting that old picture of my dad. So as a thank-you, here’s a picture of HIS dad, Leon Orbach. He worked in food service. Dad used to joke, “He didn’t change the world, but he could make a milkshake and a BLT better than anybody.” ❤️

Putting a child safety cap on a bottle of pills doesn’t infringe upon your right to take them. Anyone who opposes sensible laws that balance personal freedom w public safety looks like a petulant impulsive child who probably shouldn’t own a gun in the first place.

Wanted some time alone, didn’t get it.
All I got was some pancakes, and these two.

Thank you ❤️ mom once told me he was running towards her on a windy day — trees swaying dramatically — but she had to laugh because as romantic as it was, “Not one hair on his head MOVED!!” That’s how much pomade he had in it!! 🤣 Well, in his defense, it was the 50’s ❤️

As much as I hate getting in to this kind of stuff here, today on Twitter I had a Trump supporter refer to my deceased mother as “retarded.” I think irrespective of whom one votes for, we can all do a bit better than that, right? Maybe? 🤷🏻♂️❤️

Releasing this shit on MLK day is just like a final “fuck you” to the progressive side. I think he does this shit to piss people off and cause MORE unrest. Again and again, when the bar can’t get any lower, Trump digs underneath it.
