I drink a lot of iced oat milk lattes. I hate when it gets watered down. It's always spooky season in my home, so I froze some skulls to keep it chilled. Now pretend I'm drinking the souls of the damned for some added whimsy. What are ways you incorporate whimsy into your day? #matcha #whimsy

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

This is what matriarchy looks like. Dolly used her platform and wealth to better the world. She invested in people, knowledge, and the future. This is the society we should all strive to create. We should celebrate heroes like her who teach us that the most powerful thing we can be is ourselves.

Dolly Parton was amazing for so many reasons, and her work in literacy is one part of her legacy that deserves to be celebrated. Through her Imagination Library, she put books into the hands of millions of children and helped nurture a love of reading across generations. ❤️ 📚 #Booksky

Black people don't hang themselves from trees. Women and trans people don't vanish into thin air. Detained people don't walk themselves into the desert. Racism, misogyny, xeno and homophobia—all forms of hatred go hand in hand. Get angry. Push back. Protect one another. If we don't, who will?

Hanging? We need to call this what it is: LYNCHING. Ten Black Americans in less than two years. Every one of these deaths deserves answers, transparency, and scrutiny. No one should look at these images and expect Black Americans to shrug this off, especially in light of our history.

Yes, please! I'd learn to crochet for this. Or hold someone's yarn for them. Is that how that works? Or am I thinking knitting? Wait, then what is macrame? Regardless, I want this, and I'm about to do some research into fiber based crafts that might end with me adopting a new hyper fixation.

Fun research fact that I couldn't squeeze into Ought to Be Thy Adam: There were queer coffee circles in late 1800s Berlin! They had mountains of cake & coffee and would bring out crocheting & embroidery and then gossip together. ☕ Bring this back!🤎
