My boyfriend told me he was "going out with the boys" last night and i said ok cool have fun. he came back at 11pm covered in glitter and i was like what the hell happened and he said "pottery class" which made NO SENSE. turns out "the boys" is him and four other guys from his gym who take a weekly pottery class together and they've been doing this for EIGHT MONTHS. he's been lying about boys night. it IS boys night but it's POTTERY. i asked why he didn't just tell me and he said "i don't know it felt weird to say" i made him show me what he's made and he has a CABINET full of mugs and bowls in his apartment that i thought he bought but he MADE THEM. they're actually really good. he's got a mug with my name on it that he was too embarrassed to give me. all his boys have matching plates they made. they have a group chat called "clay bros" i'm dating a man who's been in a secret pottery club for months. he made me promise not to tell their girlfriends. i'm keeping pottery secrets now

It was revealed that Dolly Parton was secretly battling cancer but she didn't say anything and instead released this song as one of her last to raise funds for children with cancer. Even while she was sick she was still thinking about others. I’m absolutely devastated.
just a reminder that being upset over a celebrity’s death is not parasocial in any way. these are real people that made real art that impacted you. you are allowed to mourn & grieve something special to you
Dolly Parton in 2017 on Republican opposition to LGBTQ+ rights:
"If you’re the fine Christian you think you are, why are you judging people? We’re supposed to love one another.”
do you ever think ragatha gets kinda jealous of how quick gangle and zooble get so close because it makes her wonder if there's just something fundamentally wrong with her for not being able to protect gangle properly when she tried so so hard to stick up for her
