Something about Dolly’s lilting delivery of “I just wanted to check your bod” from her sexual harassment revenge fantasy in “9 to 5“ has stayed in my brain for decades. Whenever it bubbles up to the top, it always makes me smile.

Dolly Parton in a cowgirl outfit in a fantasy sequence from 9 to 5 where she turns the table on her sexually harassing boss. She is looking over and saying “I just wanted to check your bod.”

Perhaps he’s a natural. But he’s also a great example of a principle near and dear to my heart, which is that it often takes a lot of work and practice to sound like you’re a natural.

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

Being diplomatic with bad people telegraphs a message that their horrors are to be tolerated conditionally. That's not kind to the people they screwed over.

A data-driven analysis of how the New York Times's treatment of transgender subjects shifted "from rights-based framing toward more skeptical, conflict-driven coverage" since 2014, centering trans-rights opponents over trans people themselves. www.advocate.com/politics/nat...

The New York Times helped turn trans rights into political controversy, analysis finds

A new data investigation says the paper of record increasingly framed transgender rights as a debate instead of a lived reality.

If you’re a person that celebrates Epiphany, remember that the magi engaged in righteous civil disobedience when they took another road home and didn’t snitch to Herod. The lesson is that the right thing is often the opposite of what elected leaders want you to do.

After a class at my local pool, one of the other ladies and I learned that the lifeguard is majoring in dance…plus premed and Spanish. I marveled at the mind/body integration she’d have and other lady said “I can’t wait for her life.” That made me smile for days.

Here's a really easy New Year's Resolution: If you're sick with something contagious, you will stay home if your circumstances allow. If you can't stay home, you will mask around others until there is no possibility you are contagious. By making these choices, you will literally save lives.

Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

I handed out neighbor-printed whistles in Flatbush tonight and it was lovely. New Yorkers in motion do not EVER stop to chat but for this, they did. One church lady in a fancy hat gleefully took a whistle and told me she’d “blow they icy asses outta her town,” then apologized skyward for swearing.
