The wonderful Shigeko Sasamori died this week in Los Angeles at the age of 92. She was 13 years old when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on her city, Hiroshima. She suffered such severe burns that her parents struggled to recognise her in the aftermath.

@badue_luca97544 Thank you, José! And thank you for sharing that memory. My mother says that she reached out to you, both by phone and email. So please let me know if you did not receive her messages for any reason. Thank you again. . . .

@badue_luca97544 - hello José! Apologies for reaching out this way (I couldn’t DM😁) but I’m Pam Shelden’s son and she asked me to help her reconnect with you. Would you be able to DM me, if it’s okay to connect her with you? 🙏🏼

On February 19 my worlds come together for @groundupnyc's reading of a new play about my real-life friend @VChristory and my real-life work (real-life handle @sethshelden) w/@nuclearban on the #TPNW. Get free tix for A Family Business, by Chris Thorpe: groundupproductions.org/about-1-2

Those harmed by decades of US, British and French nuclear testing in the Pacific are calling for justice and the abolition of nuclear weapons. democracynow.org/2023/12/15/mee… @democracynow #TPNW

Following today's actions by 🇧🇸and 🇱🇰, the total number of states parties or signatories to the #TPNW is 9⃣7⃣. That means that only 2⃣ spots remain to be among the first half of the world's countries to take a legal action under this historic treaty. #nuclearban 🇺🇳

@noahdiamond I'm catching up on the second half of the YouTube show (bedtime called me on Friday - blame the time zones for this). I just got to the part about @SethShelden learning to play the harp and nearly cried with joy. What a heroic feat!

#TBT Feb 2016 to "I'll Say She Is" Marx Brothers Night at our Clubhouse with @noahdiamond @TravSD @TheDickCavett. Fingers crossed for more in-person events soon! #MarxBrothers #ThrowBackThursday #TheRealLambs #WhyADuck

Last night we saw Signature’s very enjoyable new RENT with our kids. I had a lot of feelings! Gonna work through ‘em here.

Moments ago, the @NYCCouncil adopted a comprehensive package of nuclear disarmament legislation, introduced in 2019 by #nuclearfreenyc hero @Dromm25. It joins #NYC to the ICAN Cities Appeal (demanding the US join the #nuclearban), and couples the move with consequential action:

At the United Nations #FirstCommittee moments ago, Resolution L.17 ("Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons") was adopted by a vote of 123-42-16. This represents an increase of 5 votes in favour, as compared with the corresponding First Committee vote in 2020. #nuclearban

A marvelous review of these two brilliant shows. In a way, these were very hard to make (pandemic) but in truth, they're so hilarious, nasty and gorgeous that it was easy. Also, these are just old friends making a show - which is very familiar to us. nytimes.com/2021/07/07/the…

This might be the first time Ben Shapiro has been right about something! What he doesn't realize is that Harpo is trending because Mark Hamill pointed out that Donald Trump is an idiot.

@mlecin ❤️ 🎶❤️🎭 ❤️

..on stage *With His Harp* there was an audible gasp from the entire audience ("He's going to play!!!"). Such a wonderful evening....

@noahdiamond. 5 years ago my husband and I each saw an ad come up for "I'll Say She Is" and said to each other "this sounds so cool, let's go!" Best decision ever! By the time the Napoleon scene came up, every little quip had me helpless with laughter. When Harpo appeared...

Exciting news! The first meeting of states parties to the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons will take place in January 2022 in Vienna, @alexanderkmentt of Austria will preside over the meeting.

Many countries are currently in the process of ratifying the UN Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Below is a partial list. #nuclearban
