So three white meth addicts were holding 163 kidnapped children but y'all want us to be afraid of Black people and immigrants? What?

We should add THC and adderall to it and create the Fifth Loko

Keith Lee's latest visit to Gary, Indiana is a reminder of what can happen when visibility turns into action and community answers the call.

After seeing residents of Gary struggling in the aftermath of the August 11 storms, Keith used his platform to bring attention and resources to the city. In just days, that call grew into a massive relief effort with 40+ food trucks, hundreds of volunteers, more than 10 companies and thousands of residents receiving food, cleaning supplies and other essentials.

Keith contributed $15,000 toward the effort, with Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton matching his donation for a combined $30,000. The Salvation Army, City of Gary, Ace Hardware and others also joined the effort.

Gary, we see you. 🤎

The internet sees "Honey Boo Boo turns 21" and only remembers the 6-year-old on TLC

What people completely forgot is what happened after: after surviving her family's public chaos, her mom's addiction battles, and losing custody, Alana Thompson moved to Colorado, got a job as a patient care tech, and is finishing her degree to become a pediatric ICU nurse.

She’s set to be the first person in her family to graduate college. Turning 21 isn't just a milestone; it's a masterclass in breaking generational cycles.

Dolly Parton sat across from Wendy Williams in that bright studio, blue top gleaming, hair doing what Dolly hair always did: arriving three minutes before she did.
Wendy leaned in, already grinning. “Okay, I have to ask. Do you ever just… take it off? Like at night. At home. Pajamas. No cameras. No nothing.”
Dolly laughed before the question even finished. “Oh, honey. You mean go to bed looking like a regular person?”
“Yes!”
“Well.” Dolly folded her hands, rings catching the lights. “I spend a lot of time in California, and California has a habit of shaking when it feels like it. I thought, if I have to run out in the street in the middle of the night, there are going to be cameras. News vans. Neighbors with phones. And I refuse to be on the eleven o’clock news looking like I lost a fight with a pillow.”
Wendy screamed. “So you sleep in the makeup?”
“I sleep ready,” Dolly said. “I don’t answer the door without hair and a little paint on. I keep a wig close enough that if the ground starts dancing, I can grab it on the way out. I might go wigless around the house in the morning with some rollers in, but I am not meeting an earthquake barefaced. That’s just poor planning.”
Wendy slapped the desk. “The only emergency you’d consider it for?”
Dolly thought for half a second. “If Carl(her husband) had a heart attack. And even then I’d have to really think about it. I’d pray for him and check a mirror. A woman can do two things at once.”
The audience howled. Wendy wiped her eyes.
“So that’s the secret,” Wendy said. “You’re not high-maintenance. You’re disaster-prepared.”
Dolly pointed at her. “That’s right. Some people keep bottled water and batteries. I keep lipstick and a backup wig. If the world’s ending, I still want to look like Dolly Parton when it does.”
Wendy sat back, delighted. “Iconic.”
Dolly smiled, sweet and sharp at the same time. “Well, I worked too hard to look like this to let a little tremor catch me undone.”

[forever me. @BIGPURPLEBABY]

Reminder that Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 is a film about three women taking over an office and introducing free childcare, paid vacation, and flexible hours, resulting in a 20% increase in productivity.

Dolly Parton was not a hoochie, she was a hussy. It’s a difference.

That In Memoriam section at the next Oscars is gonna feel like being blown to bits by a bazooka

This is why she was one 106th & Park

[cooperhawk21 @cooperhawkwh]

I’ve got to say that honestly, I’ve never seen anyone dying have such an overwhelming affect on just about everybody. She’s got Reba McEntire all the way to Eminem and everybody in between. I guess that says a lot about her as a person we can all hope to be remembered this way.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton.

Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

[g 🧚🏾‍♀️ 🫐 @edebiriii]

this is gonna sound ridiculous but it didn’t even occur to me that Dolly Parton could die

[🍃 @cardamomkiss]

A woman who really lived

[-•▪︎ 𝙼 ▪︎•- @ABaby183]

Imagine being so loved and so good that when you die, the entire world is heartbroken. What a way to live, Queen.

Dolly was openly pro-LGBTQ+, pro-Black Lives Matter, pro-women’s rights, pro-literacy, pro-science and proudly Christian while remaining firmly rooted in country music and although several tried, no one could ever intimidate her into backing down or being silent. 1 of 1.
