Quotes from my grandma while in the hospital: a thread

[c ✨ @marxiners]

a good reminder that real country music has always been leftist

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

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 🇺🇸

THE FIRST “MY WIFE”

if the changing of the tiktok policy is true, that is not bare minimum imo because now less powerful artists can remove their audios from his account and other fascist accounts without having to remove the song entirely. that’s a big deal for artists who rely on tiktok for promo

[oliver ꕤ⸆⸉ | #PETALOUTNOW @eternal1te]

this entire time while she was “silent”, she was actually proceeding with systematic change to prevent the white house from using ANY artists songs without their permission

Tents. Israel is bombing tents.

Tents.

The coolest thing about being an American right now is if I pay my taxes I'm not paying for better infrastructure, roads, or social services. I'm paying for some guy across the ocean to shoot a kid in the head with a sniper rifle. Oh, and I'm paying for his health care too.

Wild how the Epstein files led to absolutely nothing. A massive, state-connected child trafficking ring turned into a few weeks of political theater until people's eagerness to do something evaporated. A consequence of US politics revolving around two parties who are complicit.

Go back to the beginning. He and his mother were at their required immigration check-in appointment. They (like many others) were following the law. ICE grabbed them anyway. Abolish ICE

This was literally one of the very last mosques standing in all of Gaza. Israel has destroyed almost each and every one of them.

[Willie Nelson @WillieNelson]

To whom it may concern and to everyone else as well,

[🫶🏼💖 @SunshinesDeluxe]

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

a ésta hermana la han arrestado más veces por defender la humanidad que a los pederastas que siguen en cargos políticos aprobando que bombardeén civiles, realmente vivimos en el infierno

[Nate Bear @NateB_Panic]

A rocket hasn't been fired from Gaza in 18 months. And Hamas has handed administrative control over to a technocratic interim committee. Yet the apartheid state continues killing children daily. Almost as if it's a holocaust and not a war

KEEP BULLYING TECH COMPANIES INTO REMOVING USELESS AND INVASIVE AI FEATURES!!!!!!!!

The way we stopped hearing or seeing media about Palestine, and there are new types of bombs being dropped in a ceasefire

[The Spoon Bender @CallMeDestry]

Not an exaggeration when I say this perspective is literally life changing

[Clint Russell @LibertyLockPod]

As far as I'm concerned this is a declaration of war on America.
By our own government.

These are known as "concentration camps".
