Let me make this crystal clear. Jane Doe should NEVER be publicly identified. We don't want her name. We WANT the names of the 57 “men” who were complicit.
There is something deeply insidious about rebranding heritage day into a rugby homecoming aesthetic and flattening the weight of commemorating our indigenous cultures into generic symbolism. They are deliberately whitewashing everything for their own comfort and palatability.
Adam Brody talks to GQ about the genocide in Palestine:
“Put me down as thinking it’s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine. It’s awful that it’s taken so much death and misery, but it does feel like it’s reaching a breaking point that it should have a while ago.”

🚨 SON DAKİKA:
Uluslararası Adalet Divanı, İsrail'den Kudüs dahil işgal altındaki toprakları iade etmesini ve Filistinlilere tazminat ödemesini talep ediyor.
Sarandon, Ruffalo y Bardem sobreviven por la fama establecida que tenían. Zegler tal vez también la libra, teniendo éxito en teatro. Pero lo de Barrera es una locura y me da más coraje cada vez que lo pienso. Fue la más valiente de todos porque era la que tenía más por perder
Refilwe Modiselle wrote Zizi’s world because she never saw a child with albinism in a storybook. Zizi’s World is a book about albinism,bullying, self love and acceptance. We really need more kiddies books like this🥹
Macklemore reveals Ed Sheeran and his team removed him from his tour after his Free Palestine statements:
“He told me that the words ‘Free Palestine’ and the image of the Palestinian flag were hurtful to a lot of people he spoke with. I told him that if those words were more offensive than tens of thousands of Palestinian children being killed by Israel, then there was a fundamental disconnect between where those people stood and where I stood. But he couldn't get past his public facing, ‘I don't take sides.’”
We’ve been trying to reach the caller who only identified himself as “Stanley from Elim”. We’ve been inundated with offers of help. If anyone knows Stanley, please ask him to contact the station ASAP. He can call the studio line or the office on 0110149000 @Powerfm987
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 🇺🇸
