I don’t know if Ellie was being snarky or not regarding the charity that Georgina started. It’s part of the Pegasus program now, which provides therapeutic riding for children and adults with disabilities — physical, cognitive, mental and social. It does help a lot of people, not to mention saving the cast-off horses…

We get the candidates we deserve. America wanted this. We actively voted for it. We allowed it to fester in our country uncheck and we’re reaping what we sow.

maybe Trump is a result of the literal over-abundance of trash in this country - like somewhere there’s a landfill that spontaneously gained sentience and compacted itself into a human shape that now roams the country, slowly converting the entire thing into a giant trash dump.

It’s $10 grand. Golfers win $1million or more for hitting a small ball around with a stick. Top-level soccer players make that much per day, just for showing up to practice. Hedge fund managers make that much every second.

And, I see I am not the only one who read the interview in context and came to that conclusion! How the same interview is being framed elsewhere....

So asking about how she’s an advocate means that you then pick apart how she described her advocacy because she may not have used the ‘correct’ tone or terminology and she talked too much about herself? This is why people who come from a place of privilege (through money, gender, race, or orientation and/or all those…

I also think when you’ve been an ally to a community for like 30, 40, 50 years, you may catch yourself speaking publicly in the same way you speak privately with your friends.

Is it self-aggrandizing? Sure, perhaps a little bit. But she’s answering a question; she was *specifically asked* about it.

I think if you read the actual interview, how her comments come across is quite different. At least for me it is. For example, in talking about helping people come out, that seems to be a follow up to her discussing gay members of her own family and how that has been viewed in her family. It is slightly ambiguous…

Oddly I have met several people from Pigeon Forge and they all have the best things to say about her. Dollywood pretty much saved the area financially and she gives away thousands of books to Tennesee school children every year.

Really? Because I think country music in particular needs to hear a lot of this. There are still millions of young people who are at risk of violence, homelessness, and self-harm because of their shitty parents, family, and peers. People using their platforms to support others is just about the best use of celebrity I…

Tough to do when an interviewer is only asking about your politics and views on the LGBTQ community.

I want to tell Dolly all my problems and then have her sing Joline to me!

I feel like she is genuinely saying all of these things from a place of love and not in a humblebrag way whatsoever. Seriously. She just seems like one of the best humans to ever grace this earth.

Quite. Hair down + semi-faux-hawk is an...interesting choice.

I love this on her. She is exactly the type Balmain is meant for, and she looks great in it.

Not necessarily sure. Her husband works for Proskauer Rose, which is a massive global big law firm with more than 700+ attorneys. If Sony was a direct client of his, that would be a problem, but the mere fact that an attorney at Proskauer represents Sony probably isn’t enough to be unethical. He seems to focus on…

Her husband works for one of the largest firms in the country with hundreds of big name clients. He works in their healthcare group. There is nothing to see here.

I’m an activist, so I’ve worked for a lot of non-profits and on a lot of campaigns (mostly issue/advocacy campaigns, occasionally candidate campaigns)...and you’re absolutely right. Disagreements would devolve into shouting and aggression almost immediately, and almost every time the person being shouty and aggressive…

My friend the Bernie delegate is now saying that witnessing the blatant corruption at the convention has given her PTSD. Being nice has gotten to be more of a struggle with her and her friends.
