Not only does NYC not have a Walmart, the workers of East New York fought back an attempt to place a Walmart here through a grassroots campaign. The argument is that Walmart does not bring good employment (most workers are on benefits) & undercuts local business (i’m simplifying)
With Dolly Parton's passing, I implore everyone—especially Americans—to learn about the education in the southern US, in particular appalachia where Dolly hailed from. It is one of the poorest and least literate places in the country, earning its residents contempt from those--

“Even back in LOONA, I had a large queer fanbase, and I’ve always been grateful for that. But it also came with pressure, I became more careful with my words and actions because of how people might read them. I don’t feel like I need to explain or define that part of myself in detail. The same way music is always open to personal interpretation, I’d rather let my words, my actions and my music stay open too. If small things, what I say, how I act, even the music itself, can give someone else a little more freedom to think and act for themselves, make them feel less alone, or give them strength to keep going, that alone makes me really happy”
