I love you so much I can Debbie Dove Streetman. You were the best step Mama. You've been part of my life since I was 5. I am who I am because of you, blessed. I know you're the happiest you've been in a long time now that you're back home with Daddy.

Congratulations, @mikenellis.bsky.social. If the haters are going through this much effort to "insult" you, then you're doing something right. And you're in such good company with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social!
I think this was supposed to be an insult but I cannot stop laughing at this meme one of my haters made of Pete and I.
It's unironically the best thing I've seen on the internet today. 🤣

We were so fortunate to live in the same time as Dorothy Allison, a uniquely original American writer. NYT's Penelope Green does her usual bang-up job on the obit. Gift link!
Dorothy Allison, Author of ‘Bastard Out of Carolina,’ Dies at 75
She wrote lovingly and often hilariously about her harrowing childhood in a working-class Southern family, as well as about the violence and incest she suffered.

I joined Blue Sky today. The first person I searched to follow was Dorothy Allison. This is how I discovered she died last week. Dorothy was born in my hometown of Greenville, South Carolina. Her most famous work, Bastard Out of Carolina, is based there. I traveled to California to meet her as a kid
