The most absolutely massive flex from the state fair exhibit. This quilt is made of 40 years of prize ribbons from various categories at the New Mexico State Fair won by Carol St. Clair Johnson. She also won a prize for this quilt.

The quilt Fair New Mexico-41 Fair Years incorporates more than six hundred of the ribbons she won at the fair every subsequent year except 2020 (when the fair was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic). Johnson earned ribbons for needlework, knitting, crochet, pies, cookies, cakes, canning, jewelry, flowers, vegetables, and potted plants. The title of the quilt is a reference to the state song, and the design places the state's Zia sun symbol at the center. The quilt earned Johnson yet another ribbon: Best in Category (miscellaneous quilt) at the 2023 New Mexico State Fair. Courtesy of Carol St. Clair Johnson

My wife, a prodigious sleep-talker, failed to disclose her affliction when we started dating, which led to the fright of my life the night she sat bolt upright in bed and in a low flat monotone loudly declared that “THIRTEEN BABIES REMAIN UNFATHERED.”

So anyway what if I drop everything & rewatch Due South. WHEN will they give the pEOPLE what they dESERVE (a dvd release that isn't literally such an old rip from the VHSes that you cannot individually select episodes to play)

"you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain" wrong. nonsense. shut up. if you stay alive, insist on kindness, and never stop looking for opportunities to help others, you might just live long enough to see yourself become dolly parton

Hi, this is your seasonal reminder to back up your computer, your cell phone, your voice recorder, your memory cards, anything you think is important. Make multiple copies, because hard drives fail and are very expensive right now. Sometimes you drop you phone into a lake. Do it sooner than later.

Do you know how truly moving you have to be for Roger Ebert, Professional Big Naturals Enthusiast, to not even MENTION your fantastic rack after a meeting like this?

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.”

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

In the 80s/90s, my mother & a colleague/family friend often got together for dinner, where we'd all listen to music & they'd drink champagne (well, bubbly, but the point stands). They particularly loved the first Trio (Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt) album.

Every person I've ever met who ever touched the orbit of Dolly Parton even briefly (including my brother, who did some minor work with her a few years back) told the same glowing story; that she was kind and smart and good. Rest in peace.
