Ellen Degeneres commencement speech
It's that time of year again, and Ellen has outdone every speaker everywhere. A gorgeous must see via Fishbowl LA.

Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer
Thanks to all of my friends who came out Sunday to support the Free to Breathe Lung Cancer awareness race. It was amazing! My Sister Brenda did a great job of organizing. It's always hard to start a new fundraiser, and this one was extremely successful. Even made it onto the news! Next year will be even bigger!
It was a very emotional day. Seeing all the caretakers and survivors, hearing the stories, wondering why mom wasn't a survivor there in a green shirt...
And it was very nice to meet those of you who recognized me as Kid Sis. I feel like I know you, too.
The website is accepting donations until November 15th, so forego a Starbucks or two and support medical research for the tragically taboo, #1 cancer killer of men and women...1 in 12 will get it in their lifetimes. :(

Thanks to Team Commune for representing! It meant the world to me.
And a special shout-out to my brave friends who have been caretakers...I'm blessed to have you in my life, as are your loved ones. Valencia, Dave, Dave, Melinda, Melissa, Charlie, Amanda, Joe, Andrew, so many more...

Nanking
Nanking the documentary.
Saw it at the Arclight as part of the IDA (International Documentary Association) festival this week. My friend Hugo is in it. Heidi and Sarah and I were blown away. Jenine saw it as well at a different screening. So far it looks like only smart activist female producers are viewing it. Surely there are more humanists out there?
Go support the film, and spread the word. It deserves the Academy Award nomination. And then get some therapy to get over the atrocious images of the bayoneted kids, raped women, beheaded men, the United States and the world let suffer only 70 years ago.
