every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

Cause that's all magats do. They bitch and moan about life not being handed to them even if they live a relatively comfortable life where they don't have to worry about too much other than the boogie man. They get offended by having to see someone with a handicap or even a different skin color.

This is a terrific piece of rhetorical construction that also happens to be a very good point. A lot of us have been heartened by the courage and integrity so many Minnesotans have shown over this past week, in the face of intimidation and spiteful violence.

As a child, the Roman emperor Gaius Germanicus would hang out with his father’s soldiers and dress up in their garb, earning the then-affectionate nickname “Caligula,” which means “little boot.” Caligula’s later exploits are well known. So for no reason at all, what’s the Latin for “little hand?”
