Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place.
Dolly Parton was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.
I guess losing your generational cattle ranch is a small price to pay to be able to protect and support a rapist pedophile. You’re having the day you voted for.
One of the clearest signs of sincerity is consistency, especially when there’s nothing to gain. They’re kind even when no one’s watching, they keep their word even when it’s inconvenient, and their actions actually match what they say. They don’t have to keep proving that they care, you just feel it in the way they treat you. Sincere people don’t always make a big show of it. They just show up and mean what they say.
As a woman, here is what bothers me in public restrooms:
• pee on the seat
• hand dryers rather than paper towels
• empty soap dispensers
• no purse hook
• people using a speaker phone while peeing (just why)
• no full length mirror near the exit
Here’s what has NEVER bothered me in public restrooms:
• Transwomen existing
PROTECT THE DOLLS
Where America is right now:
The left is cheering a man dressed as a Spider-Man for punching a Nazi.
The right is booing a man wearing a shirt about executing pedophiles.
Men, if you were surrounded by 1,000 lions and told only 100 of them were man-eaters, you’d still be afraid of all 1,000 lions, wouldn’t you?
That’s how women feel around men.

I’m learning about the complete abuse of power and overreach that Flock cameras are enabling and I can’t help but think that none of this would be happening if everyone took Black organizers seriously when we were speaking up about the militarization of the police and rampant police violence.
Natasha Cloud is one of the fiercest, most loving human beings in the world. She doesn’t hesitate to take action for those who need a voice. She is who Congressman John Lewis had in mind when he told us to never, ever be afraid to get in good trouble. The world needs more Natasha Clouds ..
Trans kids belong, Trans people belong
years ago in corporate America, a white coworker told me another manager thought I was “friendlier” than the other girls. Then she added that she’d noticed I wasn’t quick to get offended or "angry" when someone corrected me.
I knew she meant it as a compliment. But I got quiet. Because the “other girls” were Black women.
And suddenly I wondered whether I was being complimented for being friendly...or rewarded for not fitting someone’s stereotype of Black women.
Ironically, that perception helped me secure a mentor and ultimately benefited me professionally.
But I never forgot that conversation.
You’re telling they’re trying to put a woman in prison because she defended herself against a man who broke into her home? After he ignored a restraining order? And she was EIGHT MONTHS PREGNANT?!?!
