To my fellow loud, weird, glamorous broads: today the torch is passed. Together we are Moira Rose now. May we rise to the task.

That was a powerful kick of existential hope. Thank you.

Shit can suck, shit can get worse. You know this, from experience. But you also know that we need people with knowledge and wisdom that says β€œyou can get through, you can learn, you can grow, even in the darkness”

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

Starting the new year with my window open and sitting in front of a fan because my body likes to celebrate with hot flashes, apparently! I’ve decided this is auspicious.

Remember, masks aren’t just for Covid!

They also help protect against colds, flu, measles, RSV and more.

They guard against pollution, wild fire smoke and pollen.

A well fitted respirator can keep you healthy while also protecting those around you.

It’s radical community care.

The holidays are very, very weird. It sometimes feels like timelines are overlapping and separating at the same time. It’s a unique kind of ache.

I’m very interested, if you have one to share. My mom has dementia that is advancing. We moved her into assisted living last year and will likely be moving her into memory care in the next year or two, and I teared up just watching the trailer.

The greatest thing she ever said to me was in 1943 after the opening of Oklahoma!, when I suddenly had unexpected, flamboyant success for a work I thought was only fairly good, after years of neglect for work I thought was fine. I was bewildered and worried that my entire scale of values was untrustworthy. I talked to Martha. I remember the conversation well. It was in a Schrafft's restaurant over a soda. I confessed that I had a burning desire to be excellent, but no faith that I could be.
Martha said to me, very quietly: "There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. As for you, Agnes, you have so far used about one-third of your talent."

you know how when you were a little kid you could go up to people and be like, β€œyou, girl with the pink ponytail, do you want to be friends?” and then you were friends?

you can also do that as a grownup; they don’t want you to know this, but people hardly ever say no

I truly believe part of the path out of where we are as a nation involves actually mourning our dead.
