Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

The reason movements like Black Lives Matter seem quieter now is because of an EXTREMELY VIOLENT RIGHT WING BACKLASH THAT TOOK OVER THE US GOVERNMENT, not some subtle shift in the trend winds.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

She also really debunks the common justifications about religion, region, and age. Your grandparents and parents have shitty values because they have shitty values, not because of anything else. They could do better. Anyone can use their eyes to see the world and have the correct read.

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

Step 1: Have interview with company’s HR director, don’t get position but get glowing feedback including, but not limited to, “by hook or by crook, I’d want to have you on my team”. Step 2: Receive email from said HR director including a link to a role, with the strong implication I should apply.

st patrick's well really had to force myself to finish this one, all the while cursing my past self for thinking a huge void in the middle of the painting was a solid compositional choice
