I'm getting a Costco membership even though I don't need one. My friend had Stage 4 cancer. Costco kept her employed for 2 years after her diagnosis manageable shifts, just so she'd keep her health benefits, which were excellent. She passed away recently. Costco is now covering a full year of COBRA premiums for her 3 sons.
Costco retained DEI under pressure in 2025 with 98% of shareholders backing them, and offers starting wages at $20/hr. Pulling all Callaway? Just icing on the cake.
That's so sad I had two grown men look at me at age 12 at the bus stop wearing fish nets and docs and say to my face "this is why you girls end up raped and dead in a ditch" and I don't think people quite grasp how many young women's brains got broken by stuff like that
Dolly's family asked in lieu of flowers, please donate to her Imagination Library. I just donated $80 in honor of the 80 years she was on this earth. Please donate what you can. I can't believe she's gone. 😭😭😭

Had a few people tell me my prices are too high, but they’re not. I’m not American, my currency is USD. The US dollar value has dropped multiple times. I’ve actually lowered my prices multiple times as a result.
Since Ms. Rachel purchased my art and donated me $2k in art supplies, my work is going viral and EVERY original on my site has sold out! Because of the high demand, I’ve added ONE more original to my site! All we artists need sometimes is just a little boost, and I’m so glad God placed my work on her heart. I really needed this win. THANK YOU, MS. RACHEL! 🙏🏾❤️
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
