You already know Dolly was a cool person, but hearing all these stories about things she's done, from big to small... And knowing there's so much more you'll never know about. She's just amazing

I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia

Dolly Parton was a supporter of Willa B. Farms, an animal rescue in Old Hickory, TN. I hope you will consider a donation in her memory. 💔 www.willabfarms.com/donate

I completed the DK Challenge!! After about a week and 35+ hours!

High turnover, expensive hiring, and training costs can be avoided with this one simple trick

I might be going out on a hunch, but maybe the employer should pay a living wage to their staff.

Dolly Parton invested the royalties she earned for writing ‘I Will Always Love You’ in Nashville’s Black community www.washingtonpost.com/arts-enterta... "This is the house that Whitney built" - DP 🥺🙏

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.

As a Southerner, I can confirm. She represented qualities I do recognize in “my” South. She is also a prime example of why the left needs to stop writing off the American South. Everything she was, was born and nurtured in that soil.

I think that Dolly Parton was, for a lot of people, an ambassador of the "good" values people think of about the South: kindness, hospitality, can-do spirit, sharp and witty and down to earth. I think for a segment of people, too, she was theantithesis of a lot of noxious masculine country stuff.

Dolly Parton supported a fight against a drag ban in Texas and the ban was ruled unconstitutional this morning.

Posting all of these today. I loved doing one on her birthday every year that I could. We have lost one of the brightest lights that has ever shined.

She also really debunks the common justifications about religion, region, and age. Your grandparents and parents have shitty values because they have shitty values, not because of anything else. They could do better. Anyone can use their eyes to see the world and have the correct read.

What Dolly taught us is that it is in fact possible to be wealthy beyond your wildest dreams of avarice but still be a fundamentally good person with a strong moral compass, and the only reason more rich people aren't like that is because they don't want to be.

If you are feeling like you want to DO something to honour Dolly and her exceptional life, you can donate to the Dolly Parton Imagination Library. Thanks to Dolly, tens of millions of children around the world received free books from birth until their 5th birthday. donate.imaginationlibrary.com

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.

This is the letter kids got at the end of Dolly’s Imagination Library. I defy you to read this and not cry.

I think the universal grieving comes in no small part from the fact she represented the best of what America could be, and that she never stopped chasing that ideal, artistically and socially

Everytime I’m like “I have GOT to budget better where is all my money going, I can’t keep doing this.” and actually check it’s just… groceries…

Of all the things they could be working on for Pokemon Go, WHY would they try to change the UI again It was fine, nothing needed fixing, and we've already seen everyone complain about changes because it messes with your muscle memory Watch them revert the change in a week... Again

I opened a new account with US Bank to take advantage of a promotion. Just realized they have not sent me a debit card yet. Turns out because it hasn't yet been funded (payday hasn't hit yet) Like I kinda get it... But it's going to make things inconvenient when it's time to pay rent

Just one of those mornings I feel a little overwhelmed with a hundred thoughts racing through my head at once. Just gotta take them down one at a time though

Man I'm not sure why but I just really like Yelena in the MCU. Black Widow, Hawkeye, Thunderbolts, Brand New Day... It's like Kate Bishop said, "Stop making me like you!"

nothing exemplifies the predatory nature of big tech like surveillance pricing. there's absolutely no way to justify it as somehow beneficial to the consumer. it's just flat out "if we clock you as someone who can afford it we're gonna fucking raise the price for you, specifically."

Mayor Wilson, Councilmember Foster, Councilmember Saka and I are teaming up to ban surveillance pricing at grocery chains in Seattle. Surveillance pricing is a harmful practice where your data is weaponized against you to price gouge. (1/2)
