Edward R. Murrow & Associated Press Mark Twain Award winning Journalist and Writer. I played Heather on Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman. Bloggy goodness linked.
A thread about mid-century advertising as it relates to sexism and racism:
Perhaps it's because I spent my childhood with a camera pointed at me, but I have a morbid fascination with ads created by white, upper middle class ad execs who thought racism and misogyny was cool.

I was a child actor in The '60s and '70s. This is exactly what my parents did to me: Commodified and stole my childhood.
I have been Cassandra about this subject for the last decade+. What is happening to these children is absolutely criminal, but there are no laws against it.
The Princess Bride. Spinal Tap. Stand By Me. Fried Green Tomatoes.
Those 4 films alone should have been enough for
#NormanLear
to be honored in the In Memoriam segment.
Norman deserved SO MUCH better from the Academy.
Spare me the hot-takes saying 'When you've lost Ann Coulter...'
She backed this cruelty for decades. Now, she's pretending she wasn't supporting it 100%. It gives them plausible deniability as the GOP continues to legislate pregnancy and contraception.
Don't believe this bitch.
The prolife movement has gone from compassion for the child to cruelty to the mother (and child).
Trisomy 18 is not a condition that is compatible with life.

I saw it at a theater in the Before Time. In the bathroom, afterwards, a stranger asked me if I had enjoyed my movie. I said, "I really don't know. It was one of the weirdest films I have ever seen in my life."
A woman in a toilet stall commented, "You saw The Lobster, too?!"

My husband works for REI - it's disappointing how many parents ask how much they need to put on their kids to keep the bears away.
I wish I was kidding or making this up.

Sanders is nothing but a carpetbagger who spent 30 years trashing the DNC, and hasn't gotten over losing by a solid margin of 3.5 million votes. The man is a fraud (and probably a Russian stooge) who never found a parade he didn't think he should be the Grand Marshal of.
I'm gutted. Martin Mull has left us.
I never had an unkind word to say about the funniest person I ever worked with. I treasure our time on

Some people, like me, are disabled and unable to sit in one position for even an hour.
She paid for a seat that reclines, the airline put their seal of approval on it by leaving the seat to recline.
You KNOW if that man's seat reclined he would have done so in a hot second.

When Haley was born women couldn't have a credit card or a mortgage without their husband co-signing for it. Single women were SOL.

Plus the obvious point: If his argument is the CBO underestimated what ObamaCare cost - then they will have underestimated TrumpCare, too.
@TheRickWilson
The 'pro-life' GOP who screeched about imaginary Obama death panels are now rationalizing why folks like me should die for the good of the economy.
They get I can can hear them. Right?
This is my son, Eliot. He turned 33 two weeks ago.
Eliot had a heart attack this morning from Covid-19, and he's had it twice.
I am numb, and desolate because I can't even be with him at the hospital. I'm just sitting here, waiting for word on his condition. This is a nightmare
When people ask WHY I am an atheist, I think about the pure blackhole of evil that is Henry Kissinger. He's been allowed 100 years on this planet, and is responsible for the death of millions.
RIP Dabney Coleman. 92 is a good, long run.
By the time we worked together on 142 eps of

& 130 eps of Forever Fernwood, he already had 75 credits.
Long before 9 to 5 or Tootsie, honed the evil, calculating persona he was famous for: as Mayor Merle Jeter.

Saget was a pro who would do in-person press for sold out shows.
But, to me? Saget was the legend who refused to fire 1 of the Olsen twins when they turned 5 and could work longer hours & the Network could save $$$ by only employing 1.
He said that was cruel - and he was right.

You can't rent a car until you're 25. It seems to me that you shouldn't be allowed to own a gun you until you can rent a car.
I mean - even Rittenhouse had to have Mommy drive him across state lines so he could murder people.
I have a girl-crush: she's amazing!!

After a judge ruled against him in his criminal contempt case, former Trump advisor Peter Navarro attempts to snatch a "Trump lost" sign from a protester at his press conference.
Jonah Hill's texts are a Rorschach test for cis-het women to use on potential male partners.
If My Dude agrees with Jonah Hill? Run- do not walk - to the nearest exit. You should be moving so fast you leave skid marks and smoke.
the Jonah Hill texts are spookyyyy! there is nothing more terrifying and familiar than a douchebag who goes to therapy to affirm his belief that he is uniquely special and that his “boundaries” can include controlling other people’s autonomy

You can draw a direct line from the coddled, white, religious prep school students who tried to intimidate a Veteran tribal Elder with smug sneers and viscous laughter all the way to Brett Kavanaugh demanding we not look at how he acted at that age.
@ChuckWendig
I have 3 identified autoimmune diseases - and a third that stumped the Mayo Clinic. My lungs age out at 81 and I'm 56.
When I head people hand-waving away the notion of people dying by saying it's only at-risk adults, I think to myself: Surely you know I can hear you?

Oh the sweet, sweet schadenfreude Chris Christie must be feeling to be able to turn down Trump after being left to twist in the wind in 2016!

It happened on the set of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman, when I was a kid back int he late-70s.
It was pure luck that out Stage Manager pointed the gun towards the floor, to demonstrate it.
James Cromwell smashed it out of the park in last night's Succession. Engrave the Emmy now.
Cromwell appeared in 10 episodes of Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman in 1976-77, and was cast in at least 7 different Norman Lear shows.
I was *so* happy for him when Babe became a smash hit.
In honor of Gary Larson's birthday, show me your favorite Far Side.
To this day I blurt out, "Midvale School For The Gifted!!" when I push on the door that needs to be pulled.
I was so lucky to get The Far Side, Bloom County and Calvin and Hoobes **EVERY DAY**.
So.... Humble Brag: We shot Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman at KTLA studios, in Hollywood. Also shot on that same lot at the same time was The Donny and Marie Show (the STORIES I have about them!), The Brady Variety Hour, Sha Na Na, What's Happening?!...

It took me 40 years to tell my story that I was raped in a Catholic hospital by an orderly who then tried to kill me. You carry that baggage with you everywhere.
It hasn't even been a month - but I'm glad I finally told my story.
Happy Birthday to Carol Burnett! We all SQUEED when she skewered Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman on the 10th season premiere of the Carol Burnett Show.
We knew we had arrived.

Hundreds of years? Hundreds of years? The polio vaccine was developed in 1955, and available for the public in 1960.
MMR became available in 1971. Chicken pox in 1995.
Your proud ignorance is staggering.
@TheGoodGodAbove
Take a good, long look at the courage of a man who is being stage-rushed by an exuberant fan in a Gun-Free zone, AFTER the entire crowd had gone through metal detectors. Brave Sir Robin bravely ran away.
@CBSNews
And a girl who was a sex slave who killed the last person who purchased her, and tried to rape her will need to serve 51 years. Seems totally fair - if you live in Gillead.
Michael Keaton is trending, and I think it's fun to point out that his first job as an actor in Hollywood was on our little show, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
IMDb says it's credit only, but that's not true. They must be referring to a re-edited version after first run.

I once worked with a Bible belter whose daddy was a preacher. She came back from the thrift store one day with a menorah that she insisted was a candelabra she was going to use it for dinner with daddy that weekend. So, I let her.
It went back to the thrift store after that.
