Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

You have to keep living! You have to hear Dolly's last song!

If you want something to motivate you to be more like Dolly, I highly recommend the documentary STILL WORKING 9 to 5. It's all about how the film inspired real labor movements to improve workplace conditions for women, and how far we still have to go. It's available to stream for free on Tubi.

Still Working 9 to 5 (2022)

The stars of the cult classic comedy, 9 to 5, discuss the film’s impact on society, as well as the obstacles women face in the workplace to this day.

A very positive sign that, nearly a year after Kirk's death, many if not most of the people punished for speaking truthfully about him have won legal cases against their former employees and compensation. Again, panicked compliance with Trumpism has only *cost* institutions.

USA: "1.5 million cartons of eggs have been recalled for Salmonella" The CDC is investigating a salmonella outbreak tied to a Texas egg producer, causing 98 illnesses and 26 hospitalisations across 17 states. A recall has been issued, officials warn affected eggs may still be in consumers fridges.

The IDF does this all the time. They lie until they can't, then they say they'll do an investigation, then the investigation leads nowhere. It took 2.5 years for them to even admit they opened fire on the car, something we all knew happened hours after they did.

"Without the warming caused by human activity, they calculated, a heatwave of this scale would occur on average once ever 10,000 years."

It is discouraging and disgusting to see a bunch of fellow voice actors - especially those with vast tenures and resumes - who say for "No Ai In VO" who also proudly use Gen Ai to create "ai images/art" on Instagram. You cannot say "no Ai in my profession" and then use it to take jobs from others.

We're living in a culture with a ruling class that wants to use our own pleasures, to starve, bankrupt, and stifle us. This isn't new, and the proven pushback is to refuse to legitimize their censorship in any form. So write your omegaverse shit or whatever, ur unironically doing the lord's work 🫡

Kill the puritan in your heart that pipes up with its shrill little voice every time you see something that you find off putting. Ppl publicly sneering at sex in art – including porn & kink – may as well just carry water for Mastercard, PayPal, and the conservative animus rn. I don't respect it

The author's brazen fetish, presented with such hedonistic flair and and open pride it makes you feel a little embarassed for needing to hide your own passions behind self-effacing jokes in order to preserve a sense of safe, pseudo-ironic detachment

Everybody is so mean and it's always to the wrong people!!!

I know everything feels terrible and doomy but I've been working on surveillance issues for most of my adult life and I have never seen so much energy, momentum, and concrete VICTORIES happening as what we are seeing right now on Flock cameras and facial recognition in venues. Keep. Going.

ICE CREAM MAN is hot (er, frozen) garbage; a pitiful gore-first midnighter with amateurish execution. Go watch Cooties or The Children instead if you want your "kids murdering adults" fix, two movies Eli Roth so desperately wants to be in conversation with.
