honestly i’m proud of this to a stupid degree 🤓

an assortment of small tools: nail clippers/file, an adjustable wrench, a sewing kit, a small handle with insets for leatherman bits and a glass breaker, tick and long tweezers, tension wrench and bogota pick, tape measure and kevlar thread, and a pink skeletool with extension bar

a small folded red paisley towel is under the closed lid of the set, topped off with a sparkly “bimbo certified” sticker with a hard hat 💅

Dolly did a big one for every woman who ever felt like less of a woman for not having children, and another big one for every woman who ever thought she couldn’t keep up with the boys, and another big one for everyone with an artist’s soul.

Dolly loved and mothered all of us who were told by our towns we were too fallen for loving and mothering. The queer. The slutty. The barren. “I know, honey. Just let it out.” —— I’ll leave you this. Dolly (and Linda and Emmylou) loving and mothering the wayward son. youtu.be/wWEQDyrbphE?...

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.

“In Dallas for the premier of '9 to 5', I had an uncanny experience, and on the plane home to Chicago I confessed it to Siskel: I had been granted a private half hour with Dolly Parton, and as we spoke I was filled with a strange ethereal grace. This was not spiritual, nor was it sexual. It was healing and comforting. Gene listened and said, "Roger, I felt the exact same thing during my interview with her." We looked at each other. What did this mean? Neither one of us ever felt that feeling again. From time to time we would refer to it in wonder.”

... not to mention her philanthropy (which could fill several posts alone), her mentorship for other up-and-coming artists (especially women artists, could ALSO fill posts), and speaking up for kindness and empathy to those who are least often afforded it. an absolute queen

💔 she recorded her first song by 10, sold her first songwriting credit by 20, and co-produced her first album before 30... less than 2yrs after women in the US were guaranteed the right to open a *bank account* not to mention acting, tv/film production (including buffy/angel!), dollywood...

I am not speaking in hyperbole when I say that I genuinely believe that the world would be a better place if people had enough of a spine to treat bad actors in every community this way. However, with proximity to money and fame everyone’s descernment and morals just kinda evaporate.

i did a new talk for the first time this week, which includes a lot about mister rogers, and felt embarrassed because i got choked up several times and had to pause. (because mister rogers, you see) then had the thought “can’t do the best version before the first version”

the x-men are an avatar for marginalized stories as a metaphor for racial equality when introduced during the 60s US civil rights movement. since then, they’ve told stories of the holocaust, of AIDS, of immigrants, of queerness, of disability sometimes as metaphor, sometimes text

obviously “maybe i could accept being a guy if i could just figure out how to move through the world like paul newman” was a failed premise from the jump in my defense i was young and foolish and didnt know how to process a crush “no i’m watching these for RESEARCH, jeez” 😤

ErisApparent (barbie nine jobs arc 👩‍🔧) @eris404.rip · 14/05/2026

before transitioning i first tried on every version of masculinity i thought i might successfully emulate, hoping one would fit i used to watch paul newman movies, pausing them and trying to figure out how he carried himself with this effortless cool truly never a better leaner, before or since 🤌

paul newman leaning on a diner counter looking pensive, wearing a wool zip-up which is totally unnecessary because he’s hotter than a thousand suns

paul newman in reclined repose on one elbow, a cigarette dangling from his lips. it’s from cool hand luke so he’s in a filthy chain gang outfit with his feet in leg irons over some kind of post situation. they locked him up for being too attractive, i guess

paul newman reading a script, slouching back against a door with his cowboy-booted feet raised and leaning against the opposite side of the doorway. a cigarillo is in his mouth but apparently forgotten, his brow wrinkled as he focuses intensely on what he’s reading. he’s so handsome i’m having a minor panic just writing the description
