Behold!! On this Indigenous People’s Day, the first page of the first number of THE CHEROKEE PHOENIX (1828)- featuring the Cherokee Constitution in English & Cherokee, in the syllabary created by Sequoyah. An epic milestone in Native American history and the history of print

Just ordered the new CD and some merch from Todd Snider’s website, looked at the t-shirts and thought, I’d like to see those in person, maybe I’ll see them at the next show, and then got sad all over again that there won’t be one

Going to second this & say that its v much standard for the privileged elite who have almost certainly never worked a real job in their lives to talk this way about manual labor jobs that many ppls parents or grandparents worked their asses off in to provide their kids the opportunity to not have to

One reason to learn about things outside your major is so that you have something to talk about with people at parties and on dates. No amount of money will make up for you being a crushing bore. History majors learn this early but I guess it takes other people longer.

"As much as she was proud of where she was from, Dolly also spent the latter part of her years preaching and living out loud a sermon to her native region. "Grounded in love, her message also came with an implicit challenge: You can do better." www.salon.com/2026/08/26/d...

Dolly Parton embodied the best parts of Appalachia

Stereotypes have long defined the region. Parton showed the world its true heart — and offered a challenge

Dolly broke me in early to her raucous self deprecating sense of humor when we began steel magnolias rehearsals i asked her - how long does it take to do a hair do like yours? Dolly - no idea, i’m never there when they do it! i started taking Dolly-isms notes on the back of my script after that

I have an atlas in my car, which came in handy ab 10 yrs ago driving to a tennis tournament & a wreck closed the interstate in Alabama. My friends were using waze & it went down. I had my passenger pull out the atlas, taught her to read a map on the fly & she texted the alt route to the other cars

This is exactly why language matters: “women were given the vote” frames equality as a gift from men, instead of hard won political power extracted through organized resistance. Nobody gave women anything. Women fought, marched, strategized, endured violence, went to prison and died for it.
