kyle_maclachlan Forty-two years ago, for reasons beyond my comprehension, David Lynch plucked me out of obscurity to star in his first and last big budget movie. He clearly saw something in me that even I didn't recognize. I owe my entire career, and life really, to his vision. What I saw in him was an enigmatic and intuitive man with a creative ocean bursting forth inside of him. He was in touch with something the rest of us wish we could get to. Our friendship blossomed on Blue Velvet and then Twin Peaks and I always found him to be the most authentically alive person I'd ever met. David was in tune with the universe and his own imagination on a level that seemed to be the best version of human. He was not interested in answers because he understood that questions are the drive that make us who we are. They are our breath. While the world has lost a remarkable artist, l've lost a dear friend who imagined a future for me and allowed me to travel in worlds I could never have conceived on my own. I can see him now, standing up to greet me in his backyard, with a warm smile and big hug and that Great Plains honk of a voice. We'd talk coffee, the joy of the unexpected, the beauty of the world, and laugh. His love for me and mine for him came out of the cosmic fate of two people who saw the best things about themselves in each other. I will miss him more than the limits of my language can tell and my heart can bear. My world is that much fuller because I knew him and that much emptier now that he's gone. David, I remain forever changed, and forever your Kale. Thank you for everything.

This is a beautiful tribute.

A ground of her own: How a retired Indian policewoman built a playground for women in Kerala
The uniqueness of the women-only playground lies not only in its assertion that women have the right to safe public spaces, but that women have the right to playful leisure.

Judy Murray: 'Some activists will accuse you of being transphobic. I'm certainly not' This interview came with instructions. “Ask her about doing Strictly,” I was told more than once. I sense though, that Ms Murray means business…

'“I’m all for inclusivity in sport, but we’ve always had categories for a reason: to make it fair and to keep it safe,” says Ms Murray. “And the most obvious categories are men and women.'
From a woman who knows.
Thank you Judy Murray.

Read the complaint.

Should young girls who want to reject being female because of societal expectations of femininity & experiences of sexual abuse be put on a path for irreversible medical intervention?

OR should we support them & push back on sexual abuse and reinforcement of sex stereotypes?
