Dolly Parton rose from poverty to stardom. She gave $500 to every student in her hometown who finished high school; she built hospitals & bald eagle preserves; her Imagination Library has gifted 300 million books to children. Roger Ebert met her and came away thinking she was a literal angel. RIP.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

It means nothing and yet it means everything how little magical gender transformation matters in gender transformation manga it seems. Maybe some days, you just turn into a girl and it's weird for a bit but everyone just gets over it cause a manga can't live on being weird you're a girl now alone.

On a couple IRL friends' "Close Friends" list on Instagram, which as it turns out is the "See My Naked Boobs" list. I'm not mad or excited or anything. Just not sure how this happened. Thankful, I guess? For the trust?

Got a new coworker. She was like... Hey can I ask you a question? I say yeah, thinking she's gonna ask me about work. She asks me if I ever watched Over The Garden Wall because I "seemed like the type". What does this mean.

Put me in charge of a Spring Awkening Revival. Everyone in that show will be so visibly queer you will leave thinking that cishet people aren't real.

I looked up while sitting on the subway, and there was a guy who had a full sleeve of ONLY Simpsons tattoos. Looked up a bit more - Simpsons shirt. "Woah, this is quite a guy, I gotta get a good look at who this Simpsons Superfan could be," I thought - naturally. He was like. A mega hunk.

this bit from the latest deltarune newsletter honestly does a stunningly good job of explaining why I felt like experiencing Homestuck as it came out was the ideal way to do so and why it will never be the same again

The speculative art, stories, and theories that you come up with while the game is still ongoing will forever be special, because this is the only time such things can EVER be created. All of you are creating a time capsule unique to this single fleeting moment in time, and I think that’s something to be incredibly proud of. Isn’t it great that you’re here right now, playing this thing as it comes out?

Because most people I know online don't work corporate jobs, I don't see a lot of people complaining about this one other specific thing AI has done to make MY life worse - which is that my juniors will just take my instructions and put them into AI and send that back to me without reviewing.

I’m still looking for work. If anyone has any leads on production assistance or storyboard revisioning, it would mean the world to me
