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.

the problem with referencing an Akira Toriyama illustration is that every 5 minutes i do kind of have to go "wait, how big is a person supposed to be relative to a car?" I'm still pretty sure I don't have it quite right.

I'm not saying it doesn't HAPPEN, but "all weird indie TTRPGs are a kink thing" is reductive. There is also "designing RPGs to publish your worldbuilding bible", "designing RPGs because you invented a neat dice trick", "designing RPGs to win an argument", and "designing RPGs as an act of self harm".

advanced mode: - avoid splitting tables/lists across page and column breaks too, if you can. - if you can only get a sentence or two of a new paragraph in at the end of a page, then just start it on the next page

advice for ttrpg layout readability from a guy who did that for a local newspaper: - avoid hypenated words across column and page breaks when you can - auto-hypenate often picks terrible spots to break up a word - try not to have a sentence split across a page flip

just because little red riding hood did not also get eaten by the wolf it doesn't mean that version of the story is somehow less little red riding hood. cinderella is still cinderella whether her shoe just fell off or the prince smeared tar on the castle stairs.

it's fine to change or even remove things when you tell or retell a mythological story, actually. if anything each telling should be considered additive because, guess what! each individual version is as real as any other!

calliope! @cherabby.bsky.social · 10/10/2025

"but the depth—" babes most mythological figures have depth because they were used across cultures and time and stories were told and retold and recontextualized long before they were ever written down.

There's this really weird like cultural conversation that kinda just boils down to "all games should have an easy mode" for sure that just makes me go ehhh. Like it's complicated, I can see where people are coming from when it's like "yeah I can never play X game bc I physically cannot (c)

ofc we should still make a meaningful effort, but that's like ....... heavy emphasis on the word meaningful. I don't know that writers of ergodic literature should have to give a shit about, say, audiobook adaptations, yknow?

look man I am of the belief that total accessibility for everything is just not possible and that's a thing we just have to accept? You can have the world's best screen reader alt text on a comic but like. You are still losing a fundamental part of the experience if you can't see the images.
