Stop ironically stanning Dolly Parton and start acknowledging her for the genius that she is

her nonprofit the imagination library sends out monthly books, completely free of charge, to any child that wants it. anyone who knows anything about reading education will tell you that simply putting books into children’s homes is the best way to promote literacy. they even have braille and audio options!

we love dolly

As a Children’s Librarian I can testify that kids who grow up w/ books, see people reading, and have access to books grow up to be readers.  

Dolly Parton also is a musical and songwriting genius. She's written over 3,000 songs and plays seven instruments.

She's supported charities benefiting Appalachia and shut down racism and misogyny for decades. She's incredibly brave.

Everyone needs to put some respect on her name.

She also married a regular joe and never had kids but raised her siblings as if they were her children to give them the best lives possible. She also has the Dollywood Foundation, which basically created its own economy in a previously poor region, she works to conserve wildlife species like the bald eagle, she’s donated more than 100 million free books, she helped kickstart a cancer hospital and does benefit concerts literally constantly.

Anyone ironically stanning this woman, she really deserves your unabashed love and support. The world is better with her on it.
