Despite it all, mornings like this…

You look fabulous today!
It's not easy to pull off that bold mix of rumpled sweaters, exhaustion, and the dusty darkness of a cluttered used bookstore.

Dolly Parton’s sister, Freida Parton, is asking for people to pray for her sister’s health.

Verified Facebook post by Freida Parton. The caption reads:

“Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn’t been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me. She’s strong, she’s loved, and with all the prayers being lifted for her, I know in my heart she’s going to be just fine. Godspeed, my sissy Dolly. We all love you! ❤️”

Below the caption is a photo of Dolly Parton standing outdoors in front of lush green ivy, hands clasped in prayer, wearing a shiny silver outfit with lace-trimmed sleeves, her signature blonde hair styled in soft curls, looking upward serenely.

Wellness culture feeds directly into eugenics.

Eugenics feeds directly into fascism.

This is nothing new, and it’s why disabled people have been screaming for solidarity for years.

We saw this coming. We know it’s going to get worse.

Refuse to leave vulnerable people by the wayside.

Rodney Taylor still needs our help!

He’s still locked in an ICE camp.

He’s still going without his new prosthetic legs.

He’s still facing deportation to Liberia.

He’s still having necessary disability accommodations ignored.

Please keep sharing his story. Public pressure works!

Help Rodney Taylor, a Disabled Double Amputee Being Held by ICE

Rodney has been in the country more than 40 years. He's in solitary confinement in Georgia, being denied disability accommodations and having his medical needs ignored. He must be released.

If you politely mute when you aren't talking, it doesn't even matter if someone is scream meowing in the background of your zoom

an orange cat is on the floor on a towel with all his paws curled up. He isn’t screaming. But if he was, this wouldn’t affect you if you mute when you aren’t talking

Do not fear the night.
Face it boldly.
You and your frazzled Muppet hair, wine buzz, deep ennui, and comfortable oversized pants belong to the darkness.
