We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.

1000% this. It’s exhausting, it’s difficult, it’s uncomfortable. All worthwhile work is. But closing the conversation, choosing to punish, be spiteful, and hold onto anger instead of being compassionate and forgiving when people fuck up? That’s not getting anyone anywhere.
