Some of you are bringing your whole families to the grocery store. Three kids and a spouse following behind you like puppies, contributing nothing, clogging the aisles
i hate hate hate when adults talk to their kids about their financial situation. there is truly no worse feeling than being 13 and scared ur gonna lose the house cus ur parents cant pay the bills. that is so much for a child to handle
tangina ninyong lahat. 11 years nagperform yan, 11 years nagtatatalon na parang walang bukas. tapos isang taon lang sainyo nagka ACL na? tangina. putanginang mandatory services yan.
the fact that he was perfectly well and had a high physical examination grade going into the military despite performing with extensive dances for more than 10 years, just to have an injury because of being overworked and exploited there... yeah fuck them fr
what absolutely devastates me about hoshi tearing his acl is that it's an injury that will change the way he performs forever. it's the same thing as cheol. he can't go too hard anymore or he will damage it again and that makes me so incredibly sad
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 🇺🇸
