In my crazy quilt of interests and experiences, Tim Curry was a gargantuan piece. Midnight screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show were a ritual — I’ve seen it about 50 times. We had the very good fortune to see him on Broadway as King Arthur in Spamalot. His memory WILL be for a blessing.

RIP Dolly Parton. Her dying while the ruling monsters live is a cruel, unfunny joke and more proof that we are living in The Upside Down. I really hope her Imagination Library continues. I would expect she arranged that but if she didn’t, someone must. (Photo: The Associated Press)

I’m not going to post the link to the article in the Independent because I refuse to put FOTUS’s face anywhere near my socials. But I will say let’s not treat Paul as the enemy for oversimplifying. OK, so he sees everyone from every background singing Hey Jude together at his concerts. /1

We should be celebrating Sadie's tenth birthday today, not still deep in family grief from her sudden decline and death last fall. She had more personality than any one dog should have been allowed to have. She was the very best girl.
