Republicans this year quietly cut millions of dollars of funding for the late and beloved Dolly Parton’s children’s book charity, according to multiple reports. Imagination Library, the nonprofit founded by Parton that sends free books to children across the world, faces an uncertain future in Indiana and Missouri as Republican lawmakers limit public funding, Newsweekreported Wednesday.

    You’d think that would have gotten me out of the cult, but see there was this woman.

    nine years later and that, kids, is how I met your cousin!

      not that many years, but yeah

      we were at college and she had been dating my roommate’s little brother. he had recently left on one of those mission trips and i had recently met her. we clicked, i asked her on a date, then i asked her name to put her number in my phone. and she and my mother share a maiden name. so we decided on a friend date where we figure out our “Bacon numbers” from each other and the stories of how our families diverged. we were at a large religish college so I’m sure this scene was being played out daily, we needed that icelandic incest app.
