    Dear Friends: The past few weeks have been a time of change for me, as after several months of feeling unwell I’ve just been diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I recently had surgery to remove the tumor, and I’ll be undergoing treatment for months to come. (Cont)

    Today, my wife & I celebrated our 1st anniversary. We had been together for 26 years. #OvarianCancer made it vital that we be formally recognized as a couple. Thank you @POTUS, @SpeakerPelosi, @SenSchumer & Congress for the #RespectForMarriageAct--best anniversary present ever.🌈

    As a historian of the first Elizabethan Age, I am overwhelmed to be in London at this historical moment. 16th-century Elizabethans would have looked for signs. This double rainbow appeared over Buckingham Palace just moments before the Queen's death was announced. 📷: Reuters

    And that's a final wrap. The last scene of @ADiscoveryOfWTV with actors was shot and finished a few minutes ago. Snow and all. What a year. Thanks to cast and crew for this amazing journey. A special shout out to @teresapalmer and Matthew Goode. It began with YOU. ♥️

    This shows such profound ignorance and lack of empathy. I am a 57-year-old cancer patient. If I wear an n95 or double mask I can go to the doctor, make short trips to the grocery store, go to the ATM, get gas, and pick up RX at the drugstore. If that bugs you, too bad.

    Ya know, if you’re under the age of 70 and still walking around double masked, maybe it would just be safer if you stayed home…
