Director Dorothy Arzner on the set of WORKING GIRLS (1931).

Happy International Women's Day to Trans women Women of color Disabled women Women without children Women in nontraditional relationships Single women Gay, bisexual, pansexual, and asexual women Liberation is for everyone

Figure skating world championships were considered to be for men only until 1902, when Madge Syers showed up and took home silver and the ISU went "whooooops guess we need to segregate them." It happened again in 1992 Olympic skeet shooting: Zhang Shan took gold and then they segregated the event.

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

You've got to figure a man who earned Dolly Parton's love and kept it for 60 years must have been one hell of a guy

Congratulations to Paul Tazewell, 1st Black Man to win an Oscar for costume design for movie. #Wicked #Oscars2025

PAUL. TAZEWELL. So so SO deserved.

A design so, so far ahead of its time. And the coolness holds up all these years later 🖤

I am actually posting this from the wildly long checkout line at my local Joann’s… The mood is seriously so sad 😢

Enjoy a magical *squeeze* of a #FridayKiss from My Favorite Leopard on this Valentine's Friday! 💕💋🐆

I'm utterly thrilled that My Favorite Leopard is included in this list! And beyond honored to be in such great company! Do yourself a favor and check out all the books and films on this Valentine's weekend, when we can all use a little joy 💕💋💕 people.com/romance-book...

If your books are published on hoopla....check that they still are! Many indie authors are reporting that all or most of their ebooks there are gone. Audiobooks seem ok. Does not seem to be romance specific. Multiple people have emailed D2D to ask what happened.

every single actor in this movie has never looked better, before or since, than they did in this movie the costume designer behind those blue and white uniforms and the women's floaty white linen dresses deserves a MacArthur Genius Grant

All historye ys "DEI," yn that historye ys nevir just about the illusiouns of whatevir litel groupe declareth itself most important by force.

Fantastic thread about the Hays code and another era of arts censorship…

It's called The Gulf of Mexico. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

I KNOW some of you are horrible theater kids like myself, and I KNOW you will be interested in the news that Warners has put the entirety of Waiting for Guffman on YouTube with no ads.

This is a perfect (purr-fect?) representation of Tony and Gouda from my novella, My Favorite Leopard! 😻

"The future isn’t just coming for us; it’s coming in the shape of a post-apocalyptic wedge that was designed by someone who still owns the 'Entourage' movie on Blu-ray. It’s the Cybertruck, and it’s here to ruin your whole day."

Solidarity with all people suffering from the deeds of the powerful they couldn’t have stopped. Blessings on all who suffer. Blessings on all who relieve suffering. May the world grow gentler in this lifetime.

Okay, pals. Time for action this month. We're going to do that by funding classrooms that are specifically seeking out Black history books. These classrooms are those that are in historically underfunded communities. These asks are from teachers whose students benefit directly.

These tedious old fools!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the “Gulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this change—Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali
