This morning I got my copy of @adhd-alien.bsky.social 's Feeling Like an ADHD Alien. I'm already a hundred pages in and alternating between crying and running upstairs to show my husband pages that explain my brain better than I've ever been able to. 💙

Feeling Like an ADHD Alien by Pina Varnel cover with a girl with alien antenna surrounded by a swirl of keys, paper, pencils, sticky notes, a phone, boba tea, a clock and shoelaces.

I've been knitting socks for myself for years. I drastically underestimated how strange it would feel to make socks just 2 shoe sizes larger. These are neverending clown socks, I swear.

Classic cartoon meme of two men on a bus, one looking optimistically out the window at a beautiful view of the sunset over the mountains, and the other man looking miserably out the other side of the bus at a cliff wall.

I don’t think many nondisabled people realize that laws mandating accommodations are purposefully weak. Your employer gets to decide what an “undue burden” is. They hardly ever get called to account anyway, but if they do, they can cry about money or work hours or pretty much anything they like.

Most dogpiling isn't actually coordinated. It's just people seeing a take they don't like and responding and then that puts it in other people's feeds and they respond and so on and so on. It's mostly just the bad kind of virality.

This girl I used to waitress with in Austin, we moved to New York together in 2003 on a literal Greyhound bus. Shared a fifth floor walk-up studio that, when it rained, had more leaks in the ceiling than we had pots and pans. We used to get drunk and smoke off the fire escape and do “sad-offs.”

The whole time Dolly Parton was being one of music's greatest songwriters & performers, & one of the world's greatest humanitarians & champions for literacy, & accepting of queer & trans people, get this. She never let up on being a hot girl shaking ass looking fabulous with her proud huge boobs.

Many times, Dolly Parton has described her incredible confidence and willpower like "My desire to do it was greater than my fear of it." That's been my mantra every time I stepped outside my comfort zone for the last 6 years. Like many, I wouldn't be where I am today without Dolly. 💙

a favorite bit of writing on Dolly: David Cantwell on "Coat of Many Colors" "I am poor, but I will be more than that. I *am* more than that. Despite your contempt, the things I love are worth loving."

Coat of Many Colors is not a documentary or even a memory, but a story she's telling herself. The adult Parton presents this childhood story says a lot about the survival tactics of poor kids generally, and of Dolly Parton specifically. It might, for example, explain Parton's flamboyant stage dress through the years. More substantially, it tells how a poor kid from the Blue Ridge Mountains has to make sense of life if she has ambitions, as we know Dolly Parton most certainly did. ...I am poor, but I will be more than that. I am more than that. Despite your contempt, the things I love are worth loving. And since my mother slaved over this amazing coat for me, I must be worth loving, too."

A roadie once told me about working on one of Dolly Parton’s tours years ago: On the first day of rehearsals, she arrived and gathered the whole crew around to introduce herself. She then lifted her shirt and said “there they are, now you’ve seen ‘em, let’s get to work.” RIP Queen.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.
