Fwoof, I wasn’t thinking in those terms when I was there. I think it’s big enough that for a getaway weekend you could probably find stuff to do, so long as you were willing to just wander around, explore, etc. there’s breweries, an art museum, a airplane museum, a few other things

I briefly stayed over there for like two days during a cross country road trip during the summer of 2005. It was small but surprisingly nice! It had a decently regionally respected college.

First piece of media that scared me as a kid: in the early 1990s, Nickelodeon used to run a kind of Ripley’s Believe or Not oddity program. I don’t remember the name and have never been able to find it, but it had a short segment on werewolves that gave me vivid screaming nightmares.

boss, the fascism
Tumblr post by user Nitewrighter that reads:
Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Because of the silly infinity stones, we figure that we’ll get six sets, so folks have figured an X-men set and at least a mystical/outer space set. I hope the X-men set is good! I have such hope, there’s so many dumb weird deep cuts.

I think everyone should see this incredible picture of Dolly Parton: it’s by Stacie Williams (asterosperma on Instagram) and it’s called The Queen of Appalachia
A stunning screenprint image in a style which is part folk art, part religious icon. Dolly Parton sits on a throne-like wooden chair, surrounded by garlands of flowers and leaves. Orange butterflies (I think they are monarchs?) hover around her head. Her hair is huge and golden, and she is wearing a long, sweeping orange gown, which is turned up over her knee to show off her brown knee length high heeled boots. Two black bear cubs play around her, one on the floor and one in her lap. Dolly stares calmly at the viewer. Her right hand is raised in benediction, and in her left she holds a ripe strawberry which she is feeding to one of the bear cubs.

do you ever feel that you're a joke

all these years, the people thought the joke was on me, but the joke's actually been on the public

i'm sure of myself as a person, I'm sure of my talent and I'm sure of my love for life. I like the person I am, so I can afford to around with makeup and clothes because i'm secure with myself.

So many juvenile ideas about what rebellion & revolution are. Dolly put money & time into things that helped people she might never meet. She gave of herself musically AND made her fame a vehicle for generosity. Sincere, unswerving, true charity. Only revolutionary because too few w/ power try it.

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.”

Dolly Parton did a huge amount of good with wealth she largely worked to earn. 9 to 5 is a Marxist text & permeant karaoke banger. She stood with queer & trans people throughout her life & the world was a better place for having her stay a while.
