I just love following you online and watching you on MSNBC. I was delighted to see you started a Substack when I checked my emails this morning! I’m looking forward to all your wonderful insights and hopefully some good civil discourse with equally open minded people. From a film-making, Bay Area blue-stater, welcome!

As a product of that same blue state (LA, though), welcome! I'm glad you're here.

As a matter of fact, I was born and raised in LA! The valley to be more specific.

Hey Joyce - we're friends on Ravelry where we discovered our shared Maine connection. I'm so glad you're doing this, can't wait to see where this leads...

Hi Rebecca! I'm so glad to see you and other knitting friends here! I hope we can convince the non-knitters to join us. I'm planning on sharing my Jan 6 Cmte hearings knitting project later this week.

You probably have something else in mind, but I did see a pattern for a knitted judge's wig (British style) when I was searching for judge's wig for a production of Iolanthe. It kind of fits the theme.

That sounds fascinating. Are you going to knit it?

Sadly, I will be too busy costuming the show to knit it. But maybe one of my cast members will do it!

The truth!!! Looking forward to your articles and thoughts especially about the hearings. We waited too long for justice.

So excited to read your articles and enjoy the musings. Dogs, cats, chickens, yarn and Joyce over coffee. How can it get better?

There's a lot to be said for reminding ourselves what we're working so hard to make sure we have — a free country where people can follow their own passions, even if they're just yarn and chickens.

Your discourse requires strict scrutiny. There is a compelling governmental interest bringing like-minded folks here to discuss the preservation of our government. Not that the your discourse needs to be narrowly tailored to the events of 1/6, but your precision in explaining the more nuanced issues will be very much welcome in the sea of post-production commentary on the 1/6 hearings.
