Just finished listening to this audiobook and loved hearing Ms. Bishop herself recount her amazing experiences. As a theatre person and a GG fan, this was a must read that did not disappoint.

The cover of Kelly Bishop’s memoir “The Third Gilmore Girl”, which depicts Ms. Bishop posing with her hand under her chin and a slight smile.

society for consistently and intentionally misgendering this regime until they admit it’s unacceptable. we’ll start with donna and ellen, open to suggestions for the rest of the goon squad.

it’s actually an insult to Christ to call these people Christo-fascists. He would be going flip-tables-in-the-temple on their asses.

Here’s the thing… This is a Flight 93 situation. If you find yourself in a room where this is happening, RUSH THE TERRORISTS. Do not hesitate, because it’s exactly the same situation. This is a group of terrorists trying to turn America into a fascist state. DO. NOT. COMPLY. GIVE. THEM. HELL.

Did you know Libby and Hoopla are banned for anyone under the age of 18 in Mississippi? Did you know that 60% of 1000 book challenges in 2022/2023 were submitted by JUST 11 people? A radical minority is pulling YOUR books. #booksky

This is a line from the Hobbit film, but still very much worth sharing as work inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien. #Booksky

Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love."

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children.

Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything.

“Are you feeling all right?” I asked her.

“I feel all sleepy,” she said.

In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead.

The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her.

On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.
