I been on twitter since 2009 and I feel confident in saying I don’t think I ever seen a person pass away and get 100% love and adoration from everyone on here—until today. (Yes, even HE said something positive about her). It’s all positive energy. Sad? Absolutely. But it’s all sunshine and love in every single tweet for this woman. Talk about leaving a lasting legacy of love 💛

AI is everything that right wingers pretend immigrants are.
It’s taking your jobs.
It’s draining your resources.
It’s destroying your books, your history, your art and your culture.
Shut down the data centers. All of them.
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 🇺🇸
Today the courts have forced Andrew Tate to admit that he didn’t even own those cars.
If you ever wondered if the humiliation Tate suffered that day at the hands of @GretaThunberg could be topped… the answer is a resounding yes! 😆
For those of us in our thirties, the loss of actresses who died in their thirties brings even greater sadness; it’s like watching a friend you grew up with pass away.
"Girly" movies you watched as a child and teenager, fashion and style icons, and sources of inspiration for your teenage self.
I still feel empty and sad.
