In 1954, #BettyWhite was criticized after having Arthur Duncan, a Black tap dancer, on her show.
Her response: "I'm sorry. Live with it."
She then gave Duncan even more airtime. The show was canceled soon after.
Rest well, Betty.

On today, the Feast of the Epiphany, I am reminded that an insecure ruler named Herod was so threatened by the birth of Jesus that he tried to overthrow the result by putting a hit out on a toddler.
Yearly reminder: No one has ever become their ideal self. After all those resolutions and elimination diets and strivings. It’s always a moving target.Your ideal self doesn’t exist. YOU do. Your actual, lumpy, shimmering, inconsistent self is the one that is loved and needed here
I remain an optimist. It's an optimism forged by a lifetime of experience, a belief in the basic decency of most people. I pray for a reduction of tension, a loosening of party politics as the core definition of our populace, a return to a nation of ideas and ideals. 10/
Debate drinking game:
If a fly lands anywhere - drink
If a fly lands on either candidate- finish your drink
If the moderator finally turns off someone's mic - finish your drink
You're welcome.
Today is #NationalComingOutDay, a time for #LGBTQ people to know that they are loved. Not being able to accept oneself, feeling persecuted, or experiencing violence, can lead to feelings of despair and suicide. Love your LGBTQ friends and family. God does. https://t.co/4Kq1ZoOCom
5 yo is currently obsessed with the Home Alone movies, specifically the 2nd one (like..why are there so many?!)
Anyhoo. He now grumbles like Joe Pesci when he gets frustrated and it is the exact level of sillyness I need this week. #HfaHmnaHrfrKrmpda
Just days before Ginsburg's death, as her strength waned, she dictated this statement to her granddaughter:
"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."
