If you need to be delighted by something this morning, I present the tree goats of Morocco.
I was driving near Essaouira the first time I saw this and literally slammed on my brakes because I thought I was suddenly hallucinating. But then you learn how common it is and after a day or two it's, oh, yeah, more goats in trees.
There are no sidelines for creatives in the WGA and now SAG-AFTRA strikes. If you write or perform for a living, whether it's books, websites, podcasts, TV, movies, or any other media, you are in this fight. I continue to stand with the unions, against any media conglomerate that thinks it can starve its talent into submission and replace us with machines of mediocrity.
