I hate that the kids don’t have anything like this to watch they just be watching Streamers 💔

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 🇺🇸

Law Roach refusing to dress Zendaya in Saint Laurent, Dior, Valentino, Chanel and Gucci is so tea because those brands for sure regret burning that bridge early on

Bought a house together, got her a car, named his boat after her, adopted pets with her, introduced her to his family, had her cooking thanksgiving dinner, called her Mrs. Thompson...

Like damn excuse her for taking his serious signs of commitment seriously lmao

I’m homeless, living from hotel to hotel so I started making paintings of the beds. My creativity can get me out of any situation

[ment @mentnelson]

Life is crazy. I’m currently homeless. I went to an art museum yesterday. A pregnant woman recognized me and told me I’m her favorite artist of all-time as we stood in a room surrounded with art by great artists. It was even more fulfilling because she said she owns this piece by me
