not useful to dwell upon, but it remains ASTOUNDING how many things are so fucked up and how many of our big institutions are entirely unwilling to do anything about it. we save each other, always and forever. find your neighbors who are doing the work and join ‘em, friends. the only way through.

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.

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

Trans kids and trans adults have committed no crime. They're literally just people, living their lives, being who they are. Tormenting, harassing, oppressing, punishing trans people for their identity is the work of fascists. Othering any group to create a cultural enemy is Fascism 101.

Someone should probably tell publishers and intermediaries that library eresource purchasing budgets are not going to endlessly increase, so pricing ebooks exorbitantly just means that libraries are going to purchase fewer books over time. Remind me whose best interest that's in? 🤔

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.
