Sending you lots of love out there, wherever you are, today. The world is dark and light is precious and I’m thinking about you. Yes, you! Here’s your midweek Pop Culture Fix.
+ When the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame first wanted to induct Dolly Parton, she declined the offer because she said she didn’t feel like she’d earned it. Now she’s releasing an album called Rockstar, in which she’ll be dueting with Lizzo, Brandi Carlile, Melissa Etheridge, Miley Cyrus, and more gays (and not gays)! According to Variety nine of the songs will be originals, 21 will be covers, there are nine vinyl options available, and the album will go on sale November 17th, just in time for the holigays!
+ Tawny Cypress talks Yellowjackets, Christina Ricci, queer roles and more.

Am I sad to hear about Adèle Haenel retiring? Yes, absolutely, she’s on my list of favorite contemporary actresses. Do I support her motives though? 100% YES. Fuck the industry.
Yes to more WOC of late night tv!
Super bummed about the Dolly album featuring Kid Rock. Stevie Nicks is my favorite forever and I was so excited for this album but fck that guy.
I agree does he still do anything? He’s been out of the picture for a while I didn’t like him then I don’t like him now I like him a lot. I dislike him a lot more than I did before.
Yeaahhh he’s despicable. The last thing I saw him doing was sharing a video of himself gunning down a bunch of Bud Light cans with an assault rifle as a reaction to Budweiser featuring a trans woman in their marketing campaign.
