I’ve read 2 @tkingfisher.com books in the span of the last 3 days (Swordheart and Daggerbound) and apologies to everyone who recommended them: you said they were wonderful, told me I would love them, and yet still somehow undersold them. Now to wait until the third comes out (on my birthday!)

Yesterday was new (old) camera day, *and* I discovered I had an unopened box of my fave discontinued 120 film. Prepare to be sick of seeing film from me* soon** *more likely at @photos.brittanyhildreth.com **soon is relative, when it comes to film, since I don’t currently develop my own. (yet.)

Found my Kiev 88 a few weeks back, and ended up running 3 rolls through it for indie craft parade weekend (including a shot of @corygodbey.bsky.social!) There’s just something special about film. (She says, a couple of weeks removed from the stress of the same camera eating rolls of film)

Joined postcrossing because I thought it sounded fun (slash I need a way to justify my stationery hobby) and I do love snail mail. I immediately got to use some vintage stamps I got at a secondhand store 2 weeks ago, since this is headed internationally. Two of these stamps are older than me!
A hand covering an addressed postcard. The postcard has 4 stamps: a USPS 8 cent stamp, a catfish 22 cent stamp, a forever postcard woth a yellow aspen leaf, and a forever stamp with 2 orange chipmunks

As parasocial as it may be, I’m just going to be over here mourning, bc that feels right. I didn’t know her personally. But she never seemed like she made anyone feel like a stranger. We lost my grandmother in Dec, who first ignited my love of Dolly. Feels a like losing another connection to her.

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.

Well, what I always say, "I just want everybody to be treated good." I try not to get into the politics of everything. I try to get into the human element of it. I have some of everybody in my own immediate family and in my circle of employees. I've got transgender people. I've got gays. I've got lesbians. I've got drunks. I've got drug addicts — all within my own family. I know and love them all, and I do not judge.

And I just see how broken-hearted they get over certain things and I know how real they are. I know how important this is to them. That's who they are. They cannot help that any more than I can help being Dolly Parton, you know, the way people know me. If there's something to be judged, that is God's business. But we are all God's children and how we are is who we are.

We went to Dollywood every year w/ my mom’s family. We listened to her music. And then she helped make the COVID shot happen. As close as it gets to a good rich person, she never forgot her roots. She’s part some of my fave childhood memories, and enabled my adulthood to continue. Rest well, 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.

A year ago today, I told the rescue that we wanted to make him ours. The next day, he came home to us. I was so very nervous about the whole thing, I felt like I took the joy out of the process. I shouldnt have worried: Vinny brought it with him. Here are some moments from our first year together.
