RIP, the world will be less without you but forever more for having had you.

Damnit! Wrong 80 year old! Try again!
Not every 80YO has access to experimental medications and the nation's Treasury.
Hey, Death? Do you think you might need some glasses?
Damn not Ms Dolly. RIP to one of the few good famous people out there. Iconic and beloved by everyone.
If we had a normal world, we'd be having a National day of mourning here in the US.
Donald Trump is RIGHT FUCKING THERE! How did you miss again, Death?!
Proof there is no karma
Death is not defeat. We're all going to die. The Sun will die, the atoms will die, the laws of physics as we know them will literally disintegrate.
Let's focus on the time we have when we are alive, and make the most of that, without trying to evade death.
My ex grew up as a dirt poor Appalachian and thus was a huge lover of Dolly especially for her working to help alleviate the poverty and lack of education in the area. The world is worse off without her, but I think we oughta try to bring a little of her with us into the future. She was kind to all and helped anyone who needed it.
Disappointing, but not surprising. Her husband of nearly 60 years died last year. Couples together that long tend not to last too well apart.
This woman was either a literal saint or had the best PR team the world has ever seen
In my opinion she's up there with Bob Ross, Steve Irwin and Mr. Rogers.
LeVar Burton is already on that list for me too, love that he started up Reading Rainbow again as a podcast. It’s the library Dolly wanted, read read out loud
Lindsay Ellis good a recent video on Nebula analyzing her career in a way that really ends up working well as a post-mortem of Dolly's career. The conclusion is that Dolly Parton was a savvy business woman with good PR and a knack to stay out of politics, but she was also kind and charitable woman who could be the better person despite decades of boob jokes.
Imagination Library, hope this keeps going!
Welp, guess what... I have a baby who receives books from this and got a letter saying due to cuts it has been cancelled for my state. Republicans have ruined everything good
"i know this one rich nice lady already paid for all of it but… fuck you"
While I'm not a fan of country music, Dolly was a legend.
Her music was never my taste, but she was a legend of a person.
Dolly Parton COVID-19 Research Fund eventually developed the Moderna COVID19 vaccine.
"Vaccine..vaccine...VACIIIIIINE!"
She was a shining example of what a human could be. A life well lived.
Tonight, I raise a glass of red to you, Dolly, and drink it for all of us still here making the best of whatever scraps we got!
Why couldn't someone else who is also 80 not die? Why and not them fuck the universe.
In this world, shipmates, sin that pays its way can travel freely and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers.
-Herman Melville
I wish the flags would fly at half mast for her instead of white supremacists. In these tough times it's really hard to lose a really good one like Dolly. I'm usually not that affected by celebrity news but this one hurts really bad. RIP Dolly.
What a truly powerful and talented musician with an angelic voice and a urge to soul heartedly defend LGBTQ rights.
What a country goddess.
RIP "It should've been Trump!!!!!!! (or Unknown Hinson!!!!!!)"
Damn. Donate to your local Imagination Library, GNU Dolly
I love Dolly. Went to Dollywood back in April. I would hate to see her estate picked apart and monetized, but you and I both know where this leads.
We were talking about her last night after finding out she produced Buffy the Vampire Slayer
One of my favorite videos of her true icon https://youtu.be/Y3ardckySYY
