Laverne may have been her first dip into pop culture immortality, but Penny Marshallās greatest gift to Hollywood was as a pioneering female director and producer. How dim our lives would be without the movie āBigā in our lives. Thank you, Penny. #PennyMarshall

Penny Marshall was a sweet woman. I was very fortunate to spend time with her. So many laughs. She had a heart of gold. Tough as nails. She could play round ball with the best of them. Always All love, D

How do you honor the holidays in your own way, w/out a traditional family setup, or if there's too much trauma/pain during holidays? Do you not partake? Do you reclaim it somehow?
This is for a @LunaLunaMag article. Also: love to all of you out there around this time of year.

Christopher Columbus was a terrible person. Let's celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay instead!
Italian American Women Identity Project retweeted
We resist a telling of history that erases the violence of colonialism. We challenge celebrations of genocidal conquerors like Columbus. We speak out with Indigenous people and commit to addressing systemic oppression and threats to tribal sovereignty. #indigenouspeoplesday

Dear America,
The next time you want to elect a political outsider elect a teacher. Why?
- They are actual public servants.
- They are experts in dealing with various mindsets.
- They can accomplish the most w/ few resources and no support.
-And teachers can handle ANYTHING.

When Roberts was confirmed to SC, Howard Zinn said, āIt would be naive to depend on the SC to defend the rights of poor people, women, people of color, dissenters of all kinds. Those rights come alive when citizens organize, protest, demonstrate, strike, boycott and rebel...ā

Social media is only partly real. The reality is that weāre all existing offline as well. Online you canāt see the layers, the empathy, the kindness, the trauma, the nuance, the everything. You see a suggestion of it or a performance or a fraction of the Self. Remember this.

Also, our very recent ancestors would not have qualified under todayās immigration laws.
You might see a false equivalency; I see a call-out to something very real and very insidious.

Keeping ppl from entering the country for purposes of safety+fleeing poverty/oppression (like Italians) is a moral issue. So many people DO like to honor their ancestral immigration story but then go and shame others.
Also, "the law" doesn't make something "good" or right."
