Happy 80th birthday to the Queen of Country, Dolly Parton! ☺️🦋🎂💝 To celebrate Dolly's special day, I wrote about her extraordinary generosity and her legacy as music's greatest philanthropist. Basically, this feature is my magnum opus. Be more Dolly. metro.co.uk/2026/01/19/dolly…

that’s the question isn’t it. what WILL she do? there are no youth clubs for her to attend. food, cinema tickets, any sort of third space activity is all too expensive. their parents are underpaid, saturday jobs don’t exist any more, children have truly been abandoned by the govt
BBC: “What was your screen time?” Student: “Nine hours.” BBC: “You’re gong to have a lot more time to fill. What will you do?” Student: “Stare at a wall.”

Call me a hater but I think living in a world where both trillionaires and global poverty coexist is a sign humanity has failed as a species

"At a time when visuals are getting sloppy, music videos are a lost art, scoring a trending soundbite is the focus, and AI-generated lyrics are the go-to, Madonna reminds us what it means to be a pop star. And not just any pop star – she’s the blueprint." metro.co.uk/2026/06/09/madon…

Me apareció en recuerdos la foto que fue LA FOTO del pride de 2024: un señor portugués abrazando una bandera LGBT. El señor estaba parado en la puerta de su casa viendo pasar la marcha en Porto, sosteniendo una bandera portuguesa lo cual inicialmente asustó a varios porque agitar la bandera nacional en ese contexto puede ser señal de protesta nacionalista anti-LGBT. La gente en la marcha se detuvo, preocupada por lo que podría pasar. Pero resulta que el señor estaba agitando la bandera portuguesa porque no tenía una bandera arcoíris y quería participar de alguna forma. Una chica llamada Lily se acercó. El hombre intercambió su bandera portuguesa por la bandera que Lily traía sobre los hombros. Lo que ven en la foto es el momento exacto en que él la recibe y la abraza. Alguien se sintió visto y parte de algo más grande ese día. Eso es el orgullo: dejar de ser invisibles. 🏳️‍🌈❤️✨

I think it’s actually good to show concern over ultra skinny bodies rather than normalize anorexia. You’re going to “don’t comment on women’s bodies” people to death

The secret is not giving up on your life and assuming you're washed at 28 years old. Just keep moving, reading, creating, etc and you too can be a fun and cool 70 year old. It doesn't just happen and it definitely won't if you're obsessed with the illusions of youth!
How can someone be this cool at 68 years old
