If you’ve ever thought, “Mary Lane dresses like she works at a secondhand store,” congrats - you are correct.

If you’ve ever thought, “I wish Mary Lane could get me free stuff for my theatre project/sketch show/nonprofit work/community event/classroom,” weird but actually - I CAN!

I give away free furniture and other items (clothing/kitchenware/decor) away every day at @remixmarketnyc - HIT ME UP!

Styling my dad’s grooviest shirt on the 1 year anniversary of his death because…. It felt right and just a little bit like a hug? Would love to hear any advice or experience about handling parent death anniversaries as I’m both lucky and unlucky to be new at this❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers.❤️
Most especially from me to my remarkable mommy who taught me most of the things I know. This includes never letting a dial-a-day pass me by, how to identify wisteria (and countless other floral & fauna), that it’s never too late to learn (even to stand on your head), and to not be afraid to slip and slide a little (or even a lot).

Love you, mama. Thank you for everything - for being you and making me, me. @ellesappellelsa

Today coulda/shoulda/woulda been my dad’s 80th birthday.

Instead it’s been almost exactly 6 months to the day that we lost him in a car accident. It was the 4th day of my parents’ annual summer road-trip. They drove from San Francisco to Maine pretty much every summer. My dad loved these trips so much, he looked forward to them all year and while he was on the road there was a considerable extra pep in his step. He spend his last day on earth hiking the Colorado Rockies, admiring mountain wildflowers flowers and the gorgeous vista views. It brings me comfort to say he died doing what he loved.

Good grief do I miss him terribly.
❤️
My goofball daddy who would make up rousing ditties while he did the dishes every night. Who clipped out favorite comics from the newspaper and mailed them to me ever since I moved away from home. Who would collaborate with my toddler scrawlings to create delightful “Dada/Baba” works of art.

It’s not a side most people saw. You might have known him recently as the serious senior hogging the copy machine at the SF public library, sourcing materials for intricate collage art pieces he was always working on. Or the gruff grandpa at the Royal Ground cafe on Polk Street who came everyday, ordered a triple espresso and sat in his favorite chair for hours to work on his book. Or the blur who would run, later bike, past you on the SF Marina Green in a routine that was so consistent you might recognize him from the same time last Thursday and think, wow, look at that old guy go.

Not so recently, as the cool-cat hippy who climbed mountains and might have tripped around the world.

Always as the incredibly loyal family man who loved anyone at all related to him so fiercely.

I was ever so lucky to have him as my father. Love you always, Dad. ❤️❤️❤️

If you have any stories or memories of my father Rockwell Townsend, my mom and I always love to hear them.

Happy Election Day, NYC!!!❤️💙🗳
If you are a chronic procrastinator like me and didn’t vote early, you have until 9PM tonight until the polls close!!! Get out!

⭐️It is a primary election so you must be registered to a political party to participate. So if you’re not registered to a party, today is a GREAT day to do that for next time!⭐️

Make your voice heard! Maybe, just maybe, American democracy can stop being such a joke if we all SHOW UP!🗳

Also if you 💙 my @brightsideclay VOTE earrings, I will send you a pair FREE if you donate to the fundraiser in my bio or @abortionfunds directly. I can make rainbow/checkered/solid designs too! DM me.
