@KnowaDeBaraso Happy birthday!

@IamBrandiCarlil Bring My Flowers Now gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it en route to the Smokies from Ohio a few years ago. When I got settled that evening, I watched the video over and over.

I have been a pretty committed atheist for decades now.

But Dolly Parton is in heaven with Jesus and I will not be taking questions on this.

I don't want to hear about the vastness of the cosmos or the absence of empirical evidence or any of my own arguments that I have made confidently for years. None of that applies here. We are making an exception and the exception is Dolly.

If there is a heaven and Jesus is up there he has been waiting for her specifically and there was a whole moment when she arrived. That's just what happened. I don't know how to explain the theological mechanics of it and I'm not going to try.

Some people just live in a way that makes the universe owe them something on the other side and Dolly Parton sent books to millions of children she never met and asked doctors to use her dying body to save strangers and wrote Jolene and I Will Always Love You and funded research that helped create a Covid vaccine and just kept going like that for decades.

If heaven has any kind of selection process she didn't even have to apply.

I'm still an atheist about everything else. The rules still apply across the board.

Except Dolly.

Dolly is with Jesus now and that's just a fact and the cosmos can deal with it.

@LakeSuperior SHAME with the new, fake name

[The Royal Family @RoyalFamily]

Remembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many - including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library. We will always ❤️ you.

@Penny_Lane_Pup She looks like my Jackie, who is the nicest, smartest dog ever born.

When I wake up and think I've missed the bus to school but it's Saturday and I'm 60.

[Martha @Foxjudd]

@OhhSuzannah @ThePeachTruck I've canned BBQ sauce, puree, and salsa with my peaches. Baked peach cobbler, coffeecake, pound cake, and cornbread. Roasted peach salsa and cornbread cobbler (!) are next. My local brewery has had the PT most days since the start of June. I'm up to 61#, may get one more box.

@sugargropper @amyactonoh 0.1% of what land? Not Wayne, not Wayne in Ohio, not Ohio. If it's such a trivial parcel of land, how exactly will it decrease energy costs?

@DoodleNessa @Raine_draws Perfect! ❤️

@CanadianPenny1 Tin roof!

[Martha @Foxjudd]

@DoodleNessa I am so heartbroken for you.

[Theo-sophy @notquiteold]

Be a little suspicious
of folks who have an opinion
about everything.
They want to talk.
They don’t want to listen.
And they don’t really
want you to listen.
They want you to agree.

The Miami Marlins had “Bring Your Pup to the Park” day and one dog got caught on TV casually enjoying a hot dog, while the dog behind him stared like he was witnessing the greatest injustice of his life
