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.”

all of this Lake America business reminds me of that Lincoln anecdote— how many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? four! calling a tail a leg doesn’t make it a leg

Same! I teach a senior fitness class and usually make a ’60s-heavy playlist. But today I swapped in that song plus “Two Doors Down” and “9 to 5“ and they were joyfully received. 💕

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.

Greetings to you as well, other Rachel! Thanks for your good wishes. I got several big chunks of work done and was still going when the timer went off. Going to take a break and hope to get one last sprint in to finish today.

I read that 30+ years ago and I’m pretty sure I can still remember this from the young female protagonist in the opening chapter: “my too-short skirt hikes up my thighs“ or the like. Ogling her own legs, as ladies do. 🫠

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.

In 2011 she co-hosted the Oscars with James Franco, who kept looking at his phone onstage, but somehow she was the villain for being a "try-hard." I wish folks would interrogate the "ew, she's so annoying" narratives when they're suddenly everywhere.

They refer to Smith as an "all-girls college," which tracks. That casual dismissal of female scholarship always rankled me for reasons I couldn't name until I read about Larry Summers and Epstein and their attitudes about women in academia. Misogyny and transphobia, a package deal.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.
