What a horrible week to be a global citizen. RIP Dolly Parton. RIP Tim Curry. And my heart goes out to the people of Nepal and Tibet. What a fickle thing life is.
suspicious of everyone suggesting forgoing bras to celebrate dolly when the correct course of action would be to wear that torture device of a fully lined underwire bra buried deep in your dresser that hikes your titties high enough that you can hear them bounce
i listened to the “dolly parton’s america” podcast the summer after my first miscarriage when i was taking long walks to clear my head and grieve. it was such a comforting listen. this my first time seeing this quote and it just made me sob. i love this perspective
I love the strange. I love the non conformist. I love the queer. I love the revolutionary. I love those who have gone against society. They remind us that life is not one way.
My best of Dolly Parton, especially now as she leaves …
HELLO GOD
“Hello, God?
Are You out there?
Can You hear me?
Are You listenin' anymore?
Hello, God?
If we're still on speakin' terms
Can You help me like before?
I have questioned Your existence
My resistance leaves me cold
Can you help me go the distance?
Hello God?
Hello?
Hello?
This old world has gone to pieces
Can we fix it?
Is there time?
Hate and violence just increases
We're so selfish, cruel, and blind
We fight and kill each other
In Your name defending You
Do You love some more than others?
We're so lost and confused
Hello, God?
Are you out there?
Can you hear us?
Are you listenin' anymore?
Hello, God?
If we're still on speakin' terms
Can You help us like before?
Oh, the free will You have given
We have made a mockery of
This is no way to be livin'
We're in great need of Your love
Hello, God? …”
