While ‘9-to-5’ & ‘Best Little..’ were popular adult movies in the early 80s, my big intro to Dolly was in 1986. Dollywood opened & ‘Smoky Mountain Christmas’ directed by @hwinkler4real.bsky.social were some of my fave childhood memories. Please bring this movie to a streaming platform (finally)!

Bad Bunny named every country in the Americas “Together We Are America” … chills

Bad Bunny holding a football with musicians holding instruments dancing in a line to his left and right. Flags of the Americas flying just behind them. Further in the background the Jumbotron reads “The only thing more powerful that hate is love”

Bad Bunny reveals the message stamped on the football he has been holding, the message reads “Together We Are America”. The musicians holding tambourines dressed in white dresses or white shirts and khaki pants are overjoyed and still dancing. The flags of the Americas flying in the background.

Someone asked how I’m holding up. Well I dreamt Captain America was my boyfriend & woke up with Bowie's 'The Man Who Sold the World' playing in my head. Guess my subconscious is trying to tell me even superheroes can't save us,but at least we have the 1st single for the fall of democracy soundtrack?

The November 4th, 1970 US release of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold The World” that features cartoon album art depicting a white man in a cowboy hat carrying a rifle with a drawing of a large gothic style church in the background

The photo features album art from David Bowie’s “The man who sold the world”. Bowie is dressed as a woman in a pink silk dress with large blue flowers lounging on a couch covered with teal blue velvet. Bowie has the King of Diamonds in his right hand and the remaining deck of cards are thrown across the floor.

(Takes a deep breath) We obviously need to have a talk about the fact that most hackers are pretty socially liberal and personal liberty driven. That means we typically fall in line on ideals with libertarian and civil liberties organizations and pundits.

And here we are again … winds moving east and increasing until around 3pm. 30k without power already. Sustained winds of 20+ mph, gusts of 40+ mph -as of right now

map of the Pacific Northwest that shows Medford, Oregon up to to Vancouver Island. Off shore storm that resembles a hurricane with swirling wind featuring colors that detail wind speeds. Yellow be the most calm. As the colors darken toward the center the winds increase to 40+ mph winds. The eye of this storm is located just off the west coast of Vancouver Island, but the strongest winds have begun affecting Coastal WA and Puget Sound. Coastal WA has a coastal flood warning.

Map shows the greater Seattle area from Tacoma to the south, Belfair and Bremerton to the West, Everett to the North and North Bend to the East. Red outlines detail existing power outages primarily to the West of Seattle as the storm moves East into Puget Sound. Power outages minimal, for now, in the immediate Seattle area.

One of fascism's main tactics is to physically and mentally exhaust you. To flood the zone with outrageous bullshit, to make you bite on a dozen pump-fakes — so that when the real shot comes, you're too worn out to react. We need to pace ourselves. It's only been a week. Alert fatigue is dangerous

I expected to wake up exhausted, despondent. but I looked up and for the first time in my life I thought, "there's no one left to look to. it's just us." so I am shocked at how I feel: furious, clear-eyed, galvanized. we who saw this from the beginning, for better or worse, it's our time to lead.

I also think people don’t realize what kind of mental health problems someone would go through if they too had no place to live, no support system, food was erratic, good sleep was non existent. Many could not keep up if they lost just one of those things.

some folks forget that most people don’t want to be unhoused. that most people want a roof over their head and food to eat. that if they could, they’d have that, but our “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” society in the U.S. doesn’t have safety nets built in for those who’ve hit hard times.
