okay listen to me. it’s never been more important for you to live and be big and weird and colorful as loudly as you fucking can. DONT DREAM IT BE IT AND DO THAT SHIT ON PURPOSE

I strive to lead the kind of life that Dolly Parton had, filled with openheartedness and generosity, a desire to lift others up rather than playing 'I got mine,' a genuine love for people, and an incredibly sharp sense of power and identity, biting back at tropes about women throughout her career.

Asking yourself “What would Dolly Parton do?” is an effective way to ensure that you go through life being as kind as possible to other people. I have used this question to sharpen my decision-making on more than one occasion.

It's so difficult to get cis people to understand the jk Rowling thing isn't that she doesn't like us so you should punish her. It's if you give her franchise any kind of support you are contributing to trans people being excluded from society

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.
