Country star & LGBTQ+ ally Dolly Parton dies at age 80
Her music, allyship, and humanitarian efforts left a lasting legacy of love and kindness.
Country music icon and LGBTQ+ ally Dolly Parton died at age 80, her family announced on Tuesday via a video posted on her Instagram account. Her cause of death has not yet been revealed; however, last May she reported troubles with her immune and digestive systems following issues with kidney stones.
Parton’s nephew and head of security Brin Seaver said in the Instagram video, “This video announcement is something Dolly
asked of me years ago, before I fully absorbed it as a future reality. As her head of security for more than two decades, a role my father Larry held before me, I have imagined the heaviness of this moment but haven’t truly felt it til now.”
My favourite Dolly expression is - ' It cost a lot to look this cheap,'
Love you Dolly.

Prince Harry defends Meghan’s bullying: “She is the ideal boss”
In a world where public scrutiny often looms over celebrity lives, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have once again found themselves in the eye of a storm. Recent revelations from a Vanity Fair article have reignited debates surrounding their life in Montecito, California, where they’ve spent the last five years. While the piece shines a light on some of the couple’s achievements in the U.S., it simultaneously raises serious allegations against Meghan, now 43.
There is absolutely no reason to bully staff as then they hate you and will spit in your food and report your behaviour to the media . Being nice is so much more pleasant for everyone. Maybe Meghan and Donald Trump should get married as they both seem to think the world owes them something and that they are special and the word that needs be added is SPECIAL NEEDS.... maybe, but as for being special,... BUGGER OFF.

This fool has made TV programmes about being a man having a baby and it is ABSOLUTE BOLLOCKS - and these morons who think a trans women can have a baby the same as a trans man shoots spunk - are SERIOUSLY DELUSIONAL AND HAVE SOME KIND OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEM GOING ON, and as for the trans women who complain a gynaecologist refuses to see them, WTF MATE - YOU HAVE NO INNER WORKINGS, NO WOMB ETC. NO PERIOD and you get all upset when a doctor points this out to you WHICH YOU KNOW FULL WELL YOURSELF - if that is - you paid attention before you had the chop....
NO TRANS MAN SHOOTS SPUNK
NO TRANS WOMEN HAS A MONTHLY BLEED OR CAN HAVE A BABY.
PERIOD - and that is NOT anti trans, and if you think otherswise, then you are the fool.

Confused Trump claims hospitals now perform “reverse surgery” on trans people “at my order”
“We have to get Darline and other people elected,” Trump told the audience at the event where Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) and Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC) also appeared. “They’re only fighting Darline because they want me to lose, which isn’t fair, but I’m doing this to honor Lindsey.” During his speech, though, he delved into anti-trans rhetoric that made little sense.
“The Democrat who Darline is running to defeat is a far-left political hack who supports transgender for everybody and believes in telling confused children they’re trapped in the wrong body,” he said, referring to Democratic candidate Dr. Annie Andrews. “By the way, you notice how that’s changing now? In fact, hospitals now are doing reverse surgery at my order. They’re doing reverse surgery. Nobody ever heard about it.”he hospitals are performing “reverse surgery” to stop “transgender for everybody.” And it’s all because of Trump.

The celebrity chef and entrepreneur has torn into the Duchess of Sussex's commercial ambitions, predicting she will attempt to reinvent her Californian lifestyle empire for the British market following her return to the UK.
I would much prefer if she stayed as far away as she possibly could, as I see absolutely no good in her whatsoever. It is ALL about her - ALL the time and Harry, well what a wimp to follow on behind her all the time. It's like he has no voice and it's all about an out of work X actress from ONE TV series that hardly anyone watched, and here she is laying down the law to the King of England DEMANDING A PUBLIC APOLOGY because things didn't work out as she had planned ... FUCK OFF MEGHAN MARKLE as that's all you will ever be. A second rate actress.

In the Congo basin, a surveillance camera captures a heart warming scenario of a gorilla helping out an elephant.
The gorilla came across an elephant dying from a leopard’s attack. I'm assuming it's a she😀, so she stayed by the elephant’s side to comfort and tried feeding it with leaves.. then soon realised, the elephant wasn't munching it.
Then the gorilla walks around the elephant to cover it with leaves and stayed there until it loses it's last breath. Rest in peace, elephant.
You make, and take, from the news that which you wish to see and hear. You observe what you want and comment of things that affect you personally. If you don't like something, do not read it and move on but do not shy away from what IS going on in the world of which - you are a part. World news is so easy to find these days and differing opinions not hard to find. Having an opinion is vital and being a ' don't care' person helps no one. So open your mind - open your heart - open your awareness and ALWAYS be open to new ideas.
