Noodles and such of my fancy

like i just can’t. 12 kids in a one-room cabin in tennessee, listened to her mom who sang folk songs while working, started singing in church at 6 years old, released her first single at 13, became so wildly loved and famous and rich and still at every turn found ways to give to the poor, the undereducated, gave away so much wealth she made tangible change in the economy. books, covid vaccines, theme park… sang about women’s rights (and wrongs), sang about worker’s rights, sang about poor people, sang about love. collabed with so many incredible artists. acted in movies, received death threats for being accepting of trans people. never fucking missed. all while being the sparkliest, pinkest, blondest, giggliest. unapologetically

with a killer rack

I don't see how having a "killer rack" is important here, but the sentiment of the post is the same ❤️

begging you to watch any interview she’s ever done because she brought it up constantly and loved to make fun of herself and bring attention to the body she CHOSE. it was part of her art, it was a performance, it was a part of her as much as her music, her wigs, her makeup, her nails, her sense of humour, her rhinestones, her faith, her personality and philantropy. she very openly played with gender and stereotypes the same way drag queens do and never hid it from anyone. and she liked to look hot idk what more to tell you. so yeah she had a killer rack (and a great ass) and don’t forget it

this is the gandalfs big naturals website for crying out loud

During the 2nd Gulf War she (on Conan I think) informed us all that she had named her tits *Shock* and *Awe*.

rough week for miss piggy specifically

Dolly Parton could have been a billionaire 3 times over but actively chose to give her money away to cause after cause for charity. She was an incredible musician and artist but more importantly lived with compassion and kindness and with the drive to help those around her in every way she could. God I’m sad. The world lost one one of the greats today :(

Dolly Parton's family is asking for donations to be made to the Imagination Library instead of flowers.

SIGH

IT GETS WORSE WITH EVERY ADDITION

how does this get even worse

This is the internet now tho 😭💀

Omg so many additions since I last saw this post! 😂😂😂

It’s funny but incredibly telling how entitled/ignorant/insensitive some of these people are… idk if it’s an education gap or purposeful ignorance.

The really bewildering thing to me is that I remember when you needed to get up and pull a dictionary off the shelf, or visit a library to look up the facts you needed. Now people have all kinds of information literally at their fingertips and they can’t be bothered to use it.

Oh dear gods, it’s gotten worse

When you know politics but no facts

don’t take people too seriously on the internet

This hits different when combined with that “Americans don’t learn other countries exist till they’re in 5th Grade” post from the other day.

This is my favourite post on this website

I still remember the guy who got mad at me because I spoke about the cultural role of the Norse gods in my life and my culture and insisted that I should be “proud of my Christian heritage instead” and quite simply would not believe me when I told him I was from Scandinavia because “that doesn’t exist anymore.”

someone please edit that map of europe with the spain void to also have a void for the whole of scandinavia

Always reblog!
