my grief over dolly and tim curry is absolutely parasocial but you can't understate the impact that both of those people had for queer people, for women, for people who have always had "weird" interests and big personalities, they were icons for anyone strange

Astronomy teaches us that when a star dies, its light doesn’t disappear. It keeps traveling through the universe long after the star itself is gone.
Dolly Parton feels like that kind of star.
not to be metaphysical but dolly parton, despite her death, through her work is one of few people who kind of can't die. her impact in art and philanthropy will outlast all of us, and likely our children and children's children. that's the kind of immortality we should be chasing
if you’ve ever tweeted about the rise of illiteracy please donate to dolly parton’s imagination library!
along with the gift of her music, a cornerstone of her legacy is her dedication to helping children read. she rests as an educator and so much more https://t.co/NVvVBfK90W
This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.
