As someone who represents « My Old Job » Dolly is the disclosure that I once merged with Deborah Read and therefore will invariably exhibit similar personality or quirks. Deborah Read spent a lot of time abandoned in America while her husband ran interference in France!
Functionally speaking, Deborah Read is the first woman to occupy the role of First Lady. She is also the mother of Martha Washington and Dolly Madison (and Abigail Adam’s). The First Ladies make First Ladies. They all work together, while agitating partisan people with politics.
In the past year, I have integrated the reporting from The First Lady into my research and I am the only person on X who writes about The First Ladies according to their work, and not how they look, or compare. I have obviously become unmanageable through trifle 😜
In « Beyond » Dolly Read is the lead singer for the band « The Carrie Nations » which is a reference to the only woman in American history to be jailed twice in a day!
Carrie Nation is the most derided woman in U.S. history. Yet, she advocated against drinking, the #1 cause of financial strife and violence toward women and children in her day. She also thought children shouldn’t smoke. What a killjoy!
I recognize the influence of Carrie Nation’s personality on my character. I have fended of rape and assault, rooted out criminals, and got a heads up on falling pianos twice in my life. Principally, though, I have never been drunk in my life because I forget alcohol exists!
@_GirlMaher_ This 1 is so hard; I dont drink (dont like feeling not clear headed or in control) but somehow my specialty seems to be working with people who drink/use drugs. I understand wanting to numb their pain. Reminds me of some great stories/client revelations.
@_GirlMaher_ Not sure what those are supposed to mean.
@TMSDAVIS You exhibit the hints of being a Carrie Nation type. It is in the careful protectiveness of your children, and the alertness to danger.
@_GirlMaher_ I feel responsible for the world 🤣 Protector and helper to everyone I can. Guess the world needs all types. Blessing and curse.
