Last night in a certain neighborhood of LA, at a certain venue, at a stand up comedy show, I sat in the audience and watched Conan O'Brien get on stage and workshop some jokes. No I will not elaborate!!

In LA right now, I ran into some dumbass ICE impersonators in the parking lot of a post office. Idiots filming me with lots of video gear and trying to get a reaction from me. Telling my 75 year old mom that they want to record the car’s license plate & VIN.

Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.
