My 6 year old daughter painted this amazing scene at an after school art club. Her art teacher told her she had done it wrong?! You can't do art wrong! She was so upset as art is her favourite thing to do. Can you please show Edie some support and like her painting?

This November we have a chance to provide more funding for arts education, without raising taxes. This means that CA students will have more access to the mental health and social-emotional learning benefits of arts education. #VoteArtsAndMusic

🤚🤚 #BackOff our schools, @SecCardona @POTUS! All public schools deserve your support, including charter schools that provide families with MORE options, not less. Stop @usedgov’s overregulation of charter school growth!

RIP to the legend William Hurt whom I had the privilege of working with on Mr,Brooks. He was delightfully sinister in this role & a lovely guy when the cameras stopped. What a career. What a remarkable body of work.
