Dolly Parton has never been in a cage fight, but she *has* gifted over 200 million books to children through her Imagination Library. In a world full of Zuckerbergs and Musks, be a Dolly.

Arundhati Roy on Israel🇮🇱 “No matter what crimes it committed, it grew up like a protected child in a wealthy home, whose parents smile proudly as it commits atrocity upon atrocity. No wonder today it feels free to boast openly about committing genocide.”
