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.”
🥹😢😭
sentry having less screentime than steve rogers is exactly what is wrong with the mcu right now. no new characters are allowed to shine or grow. they’re all meant to hide in the shadows of nostalgia bait.
“I didn’t have children because I believed that God didn’t mean for me to have kids so everybody’s kids could be mine, so I could do things like Imagination Library, because if I hadn’t had the freedom to work, I wouldn’t have done all the things I’ve done."
Simply put, Dolly Parton was an American original. She was an inspiration to millions. She was a relentless advocate for women and for equality. Through her Imagination Library, she placed the gift of reading into the hands of millions of children because she understood literacy is the foundation of opportunity.
But perhaps most importantly, Dolly treated everyone with kindness and respect. She lived her values with a flair and vitality for life that was uniquely her own. She was a trailblazer in every sense of the word, and she will be missed by millions around the world.
Jill and I are keeping her family, her friends, and her millions of fans in our prayers.
God bless Dolly Parton.
That lady sent hundreds and thousands of books to underprivileged kids FOR FREE for decades.
She invested all of the royalties from Whitney’s version into Black businesses from jump.
A real fucking legend.
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
