this is because Dolly Parton is the equal or better of most strung- instrument players you can name, a fact often obscured by the vocabulary of iconography sometimes used to discuss her work. thanks for coming to my presentation this’ll take about half a hour
Dolly does dulcimer

Something about a self aware justice oriented teenager gets me in the feels immediately.

How my kids neurodivergence can have the most and least charming presentation simultaneously: after keeping everyone up literally all night, I get up with her at 5am thinking we will snuggle on the couch with a movie BUT INSTEAD

My sister has wild ass ideas about what’s on the agenda for my trip to visit next month:
- a sound bath (maybe, seems harmless)
- dying my eyebrows & lashes with DOLLAR STORE BEARD DYE (absolutely not, wtf, do people do this?)
- giving me a “lash lift” (somehow different than the dye? Also no.)

I could’ve been horrified when I realized I was wearing my sleep booty shorts around the house with my in-laws here, but instead I’m reframing it as a level up in our relationship. I mean, what says closeness more than a 50% chance of flashing my labia? Merry Christmas!

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Ah, the familiar dissonance between what I want (to be wrapped in a blanket and taken to bed) and what I am doing, catching a Lyft to an office for a meeting. 😩
