That's nice for you, Jeff.
How about taking a leaf from her book and dedicating the rest of your life - and your billions - to paying your employees properly and treating them with dignity and respect, and making the world a better place?
I feel like the younger generations have a problem putting things in their proper historical and political context. You can’t view 70s sexual awakening & LGBTQ+ movement through a 2020s lens. Everything that makes it “today’s problematic” makes it yesterday’s groundbreaking
Every single employee of that theme park gets health benefits, a 401k, profit sharing, and free college tuition, starting on day one of their employment, whether they’re full-time, part-time, permanent, or seasonal.
i don’t know how to explain it, but this show was so different from the rest. it never felt scripted, everything felt so real, and that made a huge difference. dolly and miley made you feel so close to them, it was BEAUTIFUL and i’m grateful to have experienced it in real time.
One of my favorite Dolly stories is one Julia Roberts told about being on the set of Steel Magnolias. It was, naturally, very hot and humid, and Julia turned to Dolly and said, "Aren't you hot? With the wig and everything? Just, you know, just say it's hot!"
And Dolly looked at her and said, "When I was a little girl, I used to dream about being famous and rich, and now I'm both of those things. So I'm not going to complain."
May we all be so grateful and gracious when our dreams come true.
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 gave us i will always love you, the covid vaccine, and buffy the vampire slayer... literally did more for this country than basically any US president
She WAS America, effortlessly: the music, the family, the personality, the style, the friendliness, and the inventiveness. Don't let our horrible political system and all the corruption around us make us forget that she was more AMERICAN than any of the ghouls currently in power.
A reminder that Dolly Parton is the reason we have the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
She hated the movie but believed the show could be amazing so she let them film on her sound studio. By season 2, it was a HIT and became one of the most iconic shows in HISTORY.
As a thank you, Buffy Summers and Dolly Parton share the same birthday.
January 19th.
