The Bard...

Your daily Dorothy Parker

A couple of years ago I wrote a smart and funny (yes, funny) book about a #MeToo guy who gets pushed off a roof. If you missed it, you can grab the ebook today for pocket change. I think you'll enjoy this escape!

Your daily Dorothy Parker...

At the movies yesterday, two trailers in a row used the overwrought cliché, "THERES. NO. GOING. BACK." Plus, one had a giant title card that said, 'WHEN," then "WORLDS," and I slumped in my seat praying, "Don't say collide. Please oh please don't say collide." But alas. Copywriters, do better.

From Edna St. Vincent Millay...

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER is one of the best movies I've ever seen, and it deserves a better title. (Sounds like a generic action movie, doesn't it? Blech)

Happy Birthday F. Scott Fitzgerald! Here's a telegram Parker sent to her publisher when trying to write an introduction to his short story collection. (Note that the spelling error at the end is likely the teletypist's.) #DorothyParker #FScottFitzgerald

How long before someone dies as result of yesterday's moronic press conference?

This feels true.

I guarantee you that right at this moment there is some pregnant woman running a high fever who is afraid to take acetaminophen due to that idiot's press conference, and now her life and her baby's life or at risk.

Dorothy Parker on healing.

I decided you need a cute picture of Theo today.

From a speech in 1947 about the House Un-American Activities Committee. #DorothyParker

The recent Woman Up Salon led by Amy Ferris & Jane Sibbett was an extraordinary evening of connecting w/likeminded women to vent, weep, talk, write, & discover the inspiring power of community. It runs again on 9/30 at 5:30 PT/8:30 ET. I hope you can make it. I KNOW you will love it. Link 👇

It's Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arrr! #DorothyParker

Heartbreak + Sarcasm = Dorothy Parker

MAGAs are so morally bankrupt they are having a field day over the 10 or so trolls (out of 50 million democrats) who are celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, because it's their one opportunity to claim the high ground.

Classic #DorothyParker

Often misattributed to Dorothy Parker, though it may be apocryphal anyway. Still funny!

🤣 The one-minute poet!

The supposedly Christian Right's response to the violence that took Charlie Kirk (a violence they claim is abhorrent) is to call for greater violence against—well, everyone who doesn't align with them politically and theologically, apparently.

Today's gem... #DorothyParker

Still relevant...

On this date it always feels appropriate to post Dorothy Parker's love letter to NYC. Read it here: www.facebook.com/DorothyParke...

This one is such fun to read aloud! (Be sure to pronounce "Don Juan" in the Bryonesque way.)

This one makes me swoon.

I feel so special.

Happy Monday. 🤣

Absolutely!

ME: Antisemitism is so exhausting. SOCIAL MEDIA: How dare you defend what's happening in Gaza! ME: SOCIAL MEDIA: And you'd better not call me an antisemite, you hypocrite! ME: SOCIAL MEDIA: You're a monster! ME: Goodnight, Gracie.

Warnock to RFK jr: "For the first time, we are seeing deaths of children from measles. We haven't seen that in two decades. We're seeing that under your watch. You are a hazard to the health of the American people."

Meanwhile...

Hilarious excerpt from a story that appeared in The New Yorker in 1928.
