Is there a documented alternative narrative, perhaps from Osage historians or historical documents, that depict Mollie behaving in a way that would have been more satisfying to you?

Hey Kady, any chance of getting rid of the TurkishPrince troll?

Sigh. I’m fighting a losing battle here and I know it. But this:

This. It’s Dolly fucking Parton. Show up, know the lyrics, and give Parton the respect and honour she deserves.

As a Queer person, I will not be fucking silent. I will support a people being murdered en masse but I will not lend my energy to their continuation of a system that would stone me to death in the town square for being being queer.

I don’t know, man... If I said something publicly that was wildly inaccurate and unfunny in addition to being rude, I’d want to apologize.

Why do you think being a jerk is a virtue?

Breathe a little bit, and maybe go outside. Perspective is important. She didn’t manufacture anything. She got caught on camera talking to another human being.
