If you haven’t heard “If the People Unite” by Seth Staton Watkins you should add it! In the Irish rebel song tradition.

That’s some terrible Alan Jackson cosplay.

Today is my 10th wedding anniversary which happened on the 6th anniversary of our first date. Our marriage secret (besides love and respect etc)? Return to the site of that first date on our anniversary every year. It’s also 16 years since I joined the Uprising and earned this bad boy!

I like Mills but she is 78 years old. She should be using her clout to support the great young candidates that are running and have been out there doing the work already.

Gross Cuban. But money is the motive.
Thankfully I have excellent insurance.

I love coconut water. I usually get the Harmless Harvest the because it’s so tasty and the pink makes me feel fancy. It’s only 6 per box so not the best value when you need a lot.

Ooh I have asthma and could use some extra cash! Is it off retail? That’s like $150 per inhaler.

As a current partial purple head, I’ve used Overtone and Arctic Fox with great effect. I get my first run professionally done because I am a dark brunette and I don’t want to bleach myself. Then I maintain it with Arctic Fox. I used overtone to give my mom’s grey hair colorful shadow root too!

I had a professor for West. Civ and History of England in college that would come in, plop a pile of old books on the lecturn and proceed to lecture off the top of his head in a thick Downeast accent. Every time I see hair shirt all I hear is “haih shuhrt” 😂😂😂

He resume is too long for a post! So I stuck to the dance-y ones.

Lynn Lipton. Also a broadway performer and the voice of Cheetara on Thundercats! I wonder who Kelly was supposed to be. In my head it was Mrs. Pressman.

Absolutely! She’s a trained ballet dancer! But apparently she had a much smaller role but the original actress cast for Mrs. Houseman got ill the week before shooting so she was moved up. #hatm

They released a prequel in 2004 called Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights. Diego Luna (Andor) starred. I have not been able to bring myself to watch it. Swayze does appear as a dance instructor. #hatm

Most likely they are accomplished musicians who can jam by ear. Probably jazz players.

This movie grossly under uses Charles Honi Coles. He is a tap LEGEND and they just had him doing some simple moves. Let the man cook! #hatm

Baby’s namesake got a monument in 2024. The Frances Perkins National Monument is in Newcastle, Maine! It’s a gorgeous area of Midcoast Maine. #hatm

Maybe, but on the husband degree path.

Most sources say she’s 17. But it’s not super clear. Johnny is 25. #hatm

At least the Kellerman’s band leader is named Tito Sanchez. Though he’s played by a black man with no latin as far as I can find. #hatm

Weird fact, the BU band’s song is Hey Baby. My cousin was in it for four years. They bust it out at hockey games. #HATM
