The man broke the law and had a school that taught slaves to read. He “owned” the slaves nobody wanted, those who couldn’t work, whom he afforded a sort of retirement. There’s been a stained glass window in a black church for 125 years in his honor.
If you run a restaurant in Los Angeles, you’re subject to some of the strictest food safety and labor regulations in the country, while the street food vendor right outside the restaurant isn’t subject to any laws at all.
Dolly Parton was married to Carl Dean for nearly 59 years, and their marriage was anything but conventional.
Dolly often said that one of the secrets to their long marriage was freedom. Carl wanted a quiet, intensely private life, while Dolly traveled the world, performed, made movies and became one of the most famous women on the planet. Instead of trying to change each other, they allowed each other to live the lives they wanted.
In her autobiography, Dolly wrote that they both had "the freedom to come and go and do as we please." Neither was particularly jealous, and she spoke surprisingly openly about love affairs and relationships outside their marriage.
People, even family members, sometimes approached Carl to tell him Dolly was having an affair. His response?
"Well, I would think less of any man that didn't fall in love with her."
Dolly said Carl understood her and trusted the foundation of their relationship.
"He knows that I will always come home."
Carl also understood that Dolly needed freedom to become Dolly Parton. He never wanted the celebrity life himself and was perfectly happy staying out of the spotlight while she conquered the world.
Maybe that was their secret: they didn't try to own each other.
They gave each other freedom, but always knew where home was.
And in the end, when Carl became ill, Dolly was there to care for him. They remained together until his death in 2025.
Nearly 59 years. Perhaps not a conventional marriage, but certainly one that worked for them.
The thing about TITANIC is that everyone saw it. Your friends saw it. Your friends' moms saw it. Your grandma saw it (mine took her pastor!). People were quoting it. It was parodied. The theme song was everywhere. These mega hits today just don't feel like that.
I know she be going crazy on the dick. The way she hasn’t gotten pregnant yet is a blessing in itself, because if I was her exes, I would’ve been shooting the club up every chance I got😭

I swallowed eveerrryy pulse without even thinking, feeling him throb against my tongue while I milked him dry. No mess, no pulling away, just his whole load sliding down warm and easy.
After he pulled out I licked my lips, looked up and said “that’s where it belongs.” He literally shuddered and called me a good girl.
Now I get it. Swallowing feels dirty, powerful, and so fucking satisfying. No cleanup, just his taste lingering while he’s still catching his breath looking at me like I’m his new addiction.
