Dolly Parton really spent 80 years proving you can be Southern, Christian, blonde, rhinestoned, country as hell and still understand that human rights are for everyone.
Rest in Peace Queen 👑
Being in a bad mood is soo humiliating like why am I replying in one word answers this is ruining my brand as a delight to be around I feel so naked without my whimsy
One woman’s wrong and suddenly it’s epidemic but for centuries we have been seeing barbarism of male violence and we are told “not all men”
This is language of MISOGYNY
Kinda glad ppl are pointing out how Gen Z (or maybe just the modern day internet in general) are obsessed with righteousness and moral superiority and can’t think about anything with nuance because they strictly think in black and white
I genuinely don’t understand how we are supposed to casually process that a glacier literally collapsed in Nepal, erasing 19 bridges and killing over 600 people, because the planet is too hot. And instead of stopping it, billionaires are building more data centres. It is completely psychotic.
They are lowering US flags to half-mast for a week, but if the government really wants to pay tribute to Dolly, they should fund education, the arts, and medical research instead of trying to eradicate them.
Someone was being medflighted to a hospital when the plane lost GPS as the radio went black. Hegseth had this little exercise going on to see how far radio's could be jammed. All four on the medflight crashed into a mountain and died. Hegseth should be up for murder and sued.
In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.
She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.
The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.
She handed out the checks herself.
In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.
When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.
You've probably heard that part.
Here's the part you haven't:
The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.
Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.
She built her county an entire hospital.
She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.
In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.
Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.
In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.
And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.
She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.
She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.
Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸
Men do not care about the 3 children lost in the Lindsay Clancy trial.
Otherwise they’d be up in arms every time a man annihilates his family, which is, on average every 5 days in this country.
All these men actually want is the opportunity to punish a woman. And many want to use this as an opportunity to by extension punish ALL women.
And that’s why I don’t give a fuck about anything any of them have to say about this trial. 🫶
