Alexis Barr @alexisbarr.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Very few of you know this but on the wall of my office at home I have a banner saying “What would Dolly do?” A great person who did a lot of good things in this world bringing joy and positivity to millions. A sad day 😞 #DollyParton 070
Reposted by Alexis BarrHillary Rodham Clinton @hillaryclinton.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America.

Alexis Barr @alexisbarr.bsky.social · 09/06/2026All this outrage about fabricated data on commercial antibodies. Literally the first thing I was taught as an MSci student was validate your antibodies. If they’re not good, you can’t trust any of your data. I’ve never trusted a company website but this level of fraud deserves mass refunds 250
