A childless queen who made helped a lot of us children between her songs, her charity work, and the damn Covid vaccine. Goodnight, Dolly.

Dolly Parton with Keith Haring in 1985, incredible woman and supporter of LGBTQ people for decades going back to a time when few others dared.

Street art in her honor from SE Seattle

A glittery tinsel-fringed illustrated portrait of Dolly Parton on a telephone pole. There's a cartoon voice bubble with a quote from her that says "find out who you are and do it on purpose."

Dolly Parton is gone. 🥺🥺 Dolly Parton's father couldn't read. So she started mailing free books to children, every month, until they turned five, and never charged a family a dime for it. That's the legacy. Rest easy, Dolly.

I revere Dolly Parton much as I do Fred Rogers. They’re people who made it their life goal just to be gentle and kind to everyone that they met. They are prime examples of how we all should behave and live our lives.

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.

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.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.

"My little butterfly wings are getting kinda tired." Dolly knew the power of leading with love. She is, and will always be, an inspiration and an example. She's been a guiding light in my life and so many others. An angel on earth went home. We'll always love you, Dolly.

People do it in prison. They do it using adaptive technologies if they have a disability. People sing when they're in captivity, in the most dire circumstances imaginable. People write when they're in hiding from pogroms. If you can't figure out a way to do it, that is very much a you problem.

Sketch a lot. Leave sketching supplies around so you just poke at it if the mood strikes. It is ok to hop around in your sketchbook before an earlier page is "finished". You can share it if you want but this is really hand practice/physical thinking, so you're not obligated.

This is your occasional reminder that Rose O'Neill, creator of the Kewpies, first published female cartoonist in the United States, and among the first cartoonists to build a merchandising empire on their work, turned out some absolutely baller, romantic-feeling size-difference monster art.

This is not so with clothing. Few people consider the farmers, spinners, weavers, dyers, designers, pattern makers, sewers, embroiderers, finishers, and pressers that collaborate to produce something fantastical. I doubt there's much I can say on social media that will change people's biases.

Eliza McLamb had an apt analogy abt modern fandoms: Fans no longer treat creators as creators. Fans treat creators like stock options they’ve invested in; like they’re part owners of a creator’s work just by *being fans*, and therefore get a say in what creators make/how they act. And it sucks.

No, no it does not. That’s why all the “why didn’t democrats codify Roe” stuff was so stupid. The Supreme Court can invalidate any law that isn’t a constitutional amendment. So maybe you idiots shouldn’t have acted like Hillary Clinton was lying about the importance of that.
