Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals  i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

"A mural of the Statue of Liberty in shame" by JDL Street Ar in Lille , Roubaix France 🇫🇷
Mural by JDL Street Art in Roubaix, Lille, France, depicting the Statue of Liberty covering her face with both hands in a gesture of shame. The figure is painted in shades of grey with teal accents on the torch and crown, set against a muted background with a golden halo-like circle. The artwork spans the side of a tall brick building, contrasting modern street art with historic European architecture in the surrounding cityscape.

Every US Government agency that helps prevent death has been decimated and that's upsetting to me because death is something I am generally against.

We're definitely entering an era where the Internet is so hollowed out, so untrustworthy and compromised, that real world interactions, things identifiably done by human beings, will take on greater value and purpose.

There are no words strong enough for how much I DETEST the artificial umm-ing and voice inflection of the AI customer service bots. It's like being forced to make an appointment with the exact kind of audible book readers I avoid.

I'm starting to really see how often I use "was" in my writing. It's so bad to do, and I find when I fix a sentence by taking the was out, the sentence gets immensely better. One chapter I revised had it 60 times. From me, another new writer, to you. Limit that word to a minimum #writingcommunity

Such an important point: “Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd I wish more understood this. A confession… 🧵

It would be a better investment for the state to support conservative faculty, programs and research instead of trying to attack wokeness on campus.
