She/her. Was funny once.

one of the hair dressers was like “well let’s wait three days see if she comes back.”

My 7-year-old daughter heard me say that Dolly Parton died, and got visibly very sad. I was surprised she even knew that name.

“You know Dolly Parton?”

In the sweetest timid voice, she replied:

“Well, I don’t _know_ know her. But she sent me books.”

🥹😢😭

[Cathie (she/her) @cathnjrn]

RIP Dolly

The way Kenny Rogers’ whole face lights up the moment he hears Dolly Parton’s voice coming from offstage.

I have always loved this performance so much.

[alpha @omarsbigsister]

I think what makes her death hit even worse is that we are living in a time of profound evil and she was such a genuinely good person, a literal angel. You don't even see that in your day to day anymore.

[Just Rock Content @JustRockContent]

One of the all-time great Rock Hall moments: Dolly’s “Jolene” with Rob Halford (Judas Priest), Pat Benatar, Annie Lennox, Simon Le Bon (Duran Duran), Pink, and Sheryl Crow. Zac Brown Band held it down as the house band.

Rest easy, Dolly 🤘

I found another video of Dolly singing at Newport Folk Fest — she and Brandi Carlile sang a duet of “I Will Always Love You.” Her voice was as strong as her integrity. 👑

Obsessed with this 1978 photo of Dolly with a horse at a Studio 54 afterparty

[Janus @ItsAuntieChrist]

I think it's important to remember that Dolly didn't think she was better or more special than anyone else. We all have the potential for boundless compassion within us.

[Rose Dommu @rosedommu]

A film that ends with Dolly supporting a trans woman! in 1992!! she is THEE diva of all time 🩷🦋

[The Dread duck Pirate Mark Brooks 𓅊 @MarkBrooksArt]

She turned it into a gothic country anthem. I need a download of this audio.

Podcast rec: “Dolly Parton’s America”

Excellent reported series. The host is a Lebanese reporter from Tennessee. Whole series is worth a listen, but the “Neon Moss” episode where his dad explains how he and Dolly Parton became friends after he fled Lebanon’s civil war and how she makes “immigrant music” was a gem

I wrote about why Black people loved Dolly Parton, and how she loved us for @url_media.

you know maybe there is goodness in the world and you can live and die a good person

[john @jmce95]

Thinking about this video of an 8 year old boy freaking out over Dolly Parton and her pointing and laughing in amusement 😭

dolly was for the kids without having children. she understood the necessity to care for the next generation regardless of if you gave birth or not unlike many. the realest through and through!

[Katie Glass @katieglassST]

When I interviewed Dolly Parton I asked if she was scared of dying. “When I die I’ll really be getting to live then because I believe that there is a greater place than this”. What would be her funeral song? “I don’t know – but I won’t be singing it!” RIP wonderful Dolly

[TIME @TIME]

TIME’s new cover: Dolly Parton, the beloved country-music superstar, died in Nashville at 80.

Known for writing about the lives of working-class people in more than 3,000 recorded songs and later giving away nearly 300 million books to children around the world, Parton’s life was a true Cinderella story. https://t.co/9hT8kjv3S0
