I bought myself a Stetson Open Road after seeing the one Ethan Hawke wears in The Lowdown. Looking forward to season 2!

“What is cringe but earnestness persevering” Much love and respect to Macklemore from this Seattle-ite. Haven’t met him myself but a number of friends and family have interacted with him and by all accounts he’s a genuinely good person.

Street art in her honor from SE Seattle

A glittery tinsel-fringed illustrated portrait of Dolly Parton on a telephone pole. There's a cartoon voice bubble with a quote from her that says "find out who you are and do it on purpose."

I ended up having more extended thoughts on Dolly Parton over on Facebook and I thought I would share them here as well.

When I was much younger, I knew her mostly as a caricature and the object of jokes, because young men are kind of stupid that way and I was no exception, and because she willingly played along with the joke, in part because she knew it would happen anyway, and this way she got to shape some of how that would play out for her, and use it for her own ends. It took me a while to realize how canny that was.

When I got older, I learned that underneath the caricature was a formidable songwriting and business mind. I had an inkling of what a rare combination that was in any person, but how even more rare it was for someone who was who she was, in the field and environment she worked in. Hidden in all those sparkles was a spine of steel.

When I got older than that I learned that in addition to a brilliant mind was a heart of kindness, which directed so much of the good fortune she amassed to herself right back out the door through philanthropic work, helping those in her communities, state and country, and which allowed to see the worth and dignity in those whom so many others treated (and still do treat) with contempt.

She was always all the things she was. What changed was my ability to see and understand who she was. I'm glad I was eventually smart enough to see it all.

I’d be listening to KEXP now if I could, knew they would have a tribute to Dolly. I’ll be listening to the stream later

Q: Why is Dolly Parton dead while Donald Trump is still alive? A: Because God and Satan both said "fuck no, I'm not taking him!"

Amazing video. I’ve thought about if/when this happens in Seattle. I’ve operated though tornado warnings in the Midwest, fire alarms, and security alerts. Scary stuff, but you have to protect the patient

Hi! Palliative Care Doctor here! I'm seeing a lot of people reacting to this like he's wrong, but this is correct. In America, unless you are under 21, you cannot get concurrent care which means you functionally "turn off" your regular insurance benefits when you activate the hospice benefit. 1/?🧵

13year follow-up, confirming small bite closure is superior for hernia prevention. Still a long way to go to promote adoption of this technique.
