This is the most typical Katie McGrath reaction and it is sending meeeee, of course she threatened to slap her best friend if she withheld news from her
(For context nicoles email got hacked and sent all her contacts a scam link to a 'wedding invitation')
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 🇺🇸
@SpookAria82 Her movies might have “flopped” after the Matrix but her Netflix series Sense8 was amazing and the only reason it got cancelled was because of the budget since they filmed on location at all 8 MC. At one point it had one of the highest budget of Netflix. Beautiful show
@eeveeith1nk Everyone talking about the Matrix like its the only thing she made. The screenplay for V for Vendetta, wrote Speed Racer, Cloud Atlas, Jupiter Ascending&my personal favorite created Sense8. Its almost like people dont know the Wachowski sisters have done more than the Matrix
@olivvrszn Literally bought a book where the back was nothing but reviews, except for a small tiny summary at the top, I don’t read reviews but in one of them it talked about how it was the sequel to a book 😑 that was the ONLY spot on the book that said it it was a sequel 😒
#RWBY is peak hopecore not only because of its story but its ability to survive the tragic death of its creator, multiple acquisitions and the eventual shutdown of its parent company and so many situations which would have cancelled shows with 10x its resources
RWBY Volume 10 has officially been greenlit!
Thank you so much for your patience, passion, and continued support throughout the years. We know it’s been a long wait, but trust us: it’ll be worth it ❤️🤍🖤💛
