| I'm kind of shocked at Tonya Pinkins' response to Javier Muñoz's respectful open (Instagram) letter to Laura Osnes: Quote from the article: "Tony-winning actress Tonya Pinkins replied to Muñoz on Twitter: “Read your letter. If @LauraOsnes died from the vaccine you wouldn’t care . Or is your comfort more important than her sovereignty?" P.S. I'm editing this after going to Twitter and reading Pinkins' original response and her replies in the thread that follows. All I can say is "Oy." As ever, Muñoz had this classy response to Pinkins', uh, thoughts: https://twitter.com/JMunozActor/status/1428012195971993604?s=20 |

| I can't get past her ludicrous use of the word sovereignty. About a vaccine. Or the fact that a respected peer with a compromised immune system would be so dissed to make a narcissistic point. But then, I have zero patience with the substance of her rebuttal. Or anyone's. | |

| I of course agree about her substantive point (that ironically perhaps is so flimsy) but just to spend a moment of "sovereignty." It's not a ludicrous use of the word: it can mean control over things other than a body politic, in this case, our corporeal bodies. And this of course runs us directly into an irony that begs for an intellectually firm analysis. Many/most of those who believe people have sovereignty to decide whether the vaccine goes into their body are not the same as those who believe women have sovereignty to decide if they want an abortion. This is the crux of the issue that led Amy Coney Barrett to rule as she did in relation to the bodies of Indiana college kids. I think the resolution of the seeming conundrum is pretty straightforward: there is an enormous public interest in getting needles in everyone's arms whereas there is zero public interest in prohibiting abortions. Likewise, the regulation of the unvaccinated does not assume sovereignty over their bodies; it simply establishes the consequences of the choice. If Osnes does not want to be vaccinated, that's her choice; it is not her choice to endanger others or to not be treated as an outcast. That's exactly what she is and deserves to be. | |

| Ms. Pinkins has let the Kool-Aid rot what was left of her brain (which wasn’t much). She recently performed in a film titled “Red Pill”. IMDB describes the film as such: “The eve of the 2020 election, a posse of progressives ride into red country armed with heart, humor, and naiveté. They should have brought heavy artillery.” She may be a formidable talent, but she’s a nut pie, as well. A card-carrying nut pie. With atrocious typing and grammar. As always, I want to marry Javier Muñoz. |

| I love the term "nut pie," and now plan to slip it into conversations every so often. Thank you! |
