When you didn’t bring a book but you’re in a situation where you could be reading

Greg Abbott campaigns are just "I will fix Texas" despite him being in office for over a decade and doing shit like endorsing a mass surveillance state.

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 🇺🇸

Ted Cruz got busted taking payments from Israel. I feel like accepting payments from a foreign nation to spread their propaganda should be treated as treason, no?

I’ve said this before but airport with no boyfriend is so miserable. Like oh my god I really have to carry this sht

[big honkin caboose @itsbighonkin]

I’ve never regretted eating pasta on the couch with someone I love or going to a sunny patio for tapas and sangria or sharing a chilis triple dipper with my friends. Food is fun and beautiful and you don’t need to categorize food as “bad” or regret enjoying it

Notice how the price of groceries never came back down after the tariffs were repealed?

I am Never kind to my Younger Self but She wouldn’t Be Kind to me Either. She’s Such a Bitch I hate Her.

[Peaches 🍑 @_KingArii]

Spirit Airlines gone. Gas prices disrespectful. Groceries cost a whole paycheck or get recalled. The weather is acting like it has a personal vendetta. Miami Beach looking like a seaweed farm. Electricity bills creeping up 10-20%. Kids are feral. & every day it feels like our president is finding new ways to make life harder.

[𝓔𝓶 ♡ @emkenobi]

So this completely obliterates the innocent until proven guilty rule. You cannot just predict a crime when no illegal activity has occurred. They’re just gonna use the AI to make up stuff about the citizens they deem “domestic terrorists” so they can charge them with bullshit and lock them up. This is so fucking dystopian.

Who the hell thought Gmail needed a storage limit and that, once it’s full, you wouldn’t be able to receive emails anymore?????

[Dr. NSPM-7 Whoa🔻🌺 @dasmadchengyal]

you have no healthcare, can't buy a house, rent is almost unaffordable, food is skyrocketing, no paid leave, no childcare. but your tax dollars will fund a foreign country with healthcare, paid leave, childcare + funding the entire lives unemployed settlers & the orthodox.

I miss when "Tech" made life simpler. Now, I need an app to park my car, a QR code to read a menu, and a 2-factor authentication code just to check my own bank balance. We are over-complicating ourselves into a collective nervous breakdown.

Growing up hearing “Wikipedia isn't a valid source” and then entering a workplace where people say “just ask ChatGPT” is a surprisingly strange timeline

I don't want AI glasses. I want eyes and teeth covered by health insurance.

"Blame the password sharers" yes blame the common man!! Fight one another!!! Be at odds with your fellow human while the big bosses and ceo's pocket all the cash!!!

Remember when they sold us the slogan, “Go paperless, save trees, save the planet”?

Now we've gone digital, and it's consuming enormous amounts of water, destroying ecosystems, harming bees, and contributing to environmental damage on a scale paper never did.
