Anyone who sees her as a joke is in fact the joke themselves and I’m quite happy to laugh at them. The real joke is that she’s the one finding it, not the government. She purposely does this, y’all. I have been fascinated by her for years and she has purposely crafted this and people reacting like this is her intention. She is a master. Like, how many country artists can get away with openly being a queer ally and funding AIDS research and COVID research and all this other stuff and yet still I defy you to find a person–no matter how conservative–who will say anything worse than ‘she’s trashy’ to you–but it can’t even insult her because she says she’s trashy!! She is so good at this y’all. A master at the whole concept of reclaiming and owning one’s image. All hail Dolly. An American icon. A hero. Please always assume at least one brain cell is always thinking about Dolly “Figure out who you are. Then do it on purpose.” - Dolly Parton She’s also, you know, a really good musician and singer. So I checked YouTube to see what she’s been doing on that front, lately. She did not disappoint: “Be Safe. Be respectful. Wear your mask. Lead with love.” -(signed) Dolly You know all those “Billionaires could…” posts? DOLLY ACTUALLY DOES. -- source link
