Dolly Parton was a ray of light for Appalachia who never forgot her roots. She dismantled the stereotypes of our region through her selfless actions and infectious love of community. She wasn’t just good people, she was the best people.
Raise Hell, Praise Dolly ❤️🩹

Government jobs' "productivity" isn't based in shit like revenue minus costs, but in their contribution to the state's capacity to provide security, public goods, redistribution, fair competition, rule of law, and ultimately social welfare. We shouldn't have to relearn this!

Cool story: Harper is from Iowa City and filmed some scenes there. I was lucky enough to watch Will and Harper play a game of pool in a local bar before watching them drive off! I had no idea why they were there at the time, but it’s amazing to see it all come together!
Happy to announce I am on the job market this year!
