No month like October for eerie vibes & supernatural fun! The legendary Danny Elfman is a fixture in my playlist, trick-or-treaters knocking at my door have been listening to this song (among other spooky hits) since the 90s. Oingo Boingo’s “No One Lives Forever” www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HEQ...

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

The death of Dolly Parton marks the passing of a true American original. Besides her enormous musical accomplishments, she stood out for her character, integrity and generosity. Her philanthropic contributions would alone have made her a superstar. She was one of my favorite interviews.

Women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s are not quietly disappearing. 
We are starting publications. Building rooms. Telling the truth. Naming the scripts. Finding each other in public after years of thinking we were alone. This is not a trend. It is a movement.
