ok so.
there’s an office administrator at my work and she has this cute little 2 year old named William. he calls me “Nick so tall”. like that’s my name to him, but he says it like it’s one word. “Nicksotall”. and i love it
so I’ve taken to calling him Will So Lil’ and we get along like a housefire.
i haven’t seen him in like two weeks, but his mom comes in to work today and tells me that recently he’s been telling his own bedtime stories, and he starts them all with once upon a time and everything. cute right? well to me it gets cuter, because he has been telling stories about Batman, Spider-man, and Nicksotall.
and we have these adventures and climb buildings and fight crime together and i have to be honest, it warmed my heart so fucking much it’s ridiculous
tl;dr I’m a superhero to an adorable 2 year old
yessssssss
This is so pure
i had a visitor at work today. willsoli’l was a ‘struction worker

Literally everything Beyonce touches turns to gold and she’s a fucking genius when it comes to who and what she graces with that power.
Like if you don’t know, there was a time in the Country music industry where Natalie Maines and the Dixie Chicks were kind of the lukewarm, last gasp for rebel country. I know we think of modern, New Country as sort of bland, twangy pop-country hits about pickup trucks and white girls in jean cut-offs at the barn dance, but there was a time when country music was kind of subversive. And took on class issues and the disenfranchisement of the working poor and robber barons and even the parasitic country music industry.
But the more rebellious voices of country died out with pop country. And mainstream country musicians got less and less political in the late 80s and on.
So while The Dixie Chicks were never radicals or anything, they didn’t tow the party line either. And in the early 2000s, front woman Natalie Maines lambasted George Bush and his war mongering at a concert in London. Which led to her alienating her fanbase, receiving countless death threats, and to her band (which at the time was literally one of the most influential bands in the industry) disappearing off the map.
So at the CMAs, Beyonce basically singlehandedly revitalized country music, but also the Dixie Chicks. She fucking raised them from the dead. And my very very favorite part is…partway through Daddy Lessons, they all dropped a line from The Dixie Chicks’ song, A Long Time Gone. Not only is it ironic that they’d sing that song to announce their miraculous return to fucking life, but they sang the part that goes “Now they sound tired, but they don’t sound Haggard. They got money but they don’t have Cash. They got Junior but they don’t have Hank–” which was the late 90s-early 2000s Dixie Chicks lament that New Country was shite and had no heart, no soul, no rebels left. They sang that for Beyonce. The Dixie Chicks literally shat on modern country at the CMAs and named Beyonce as its savior.
Lol im so pleased.
I got my entire life from their performance. And also from the white tears from the CMAs fans, and from Kenny Chesley’s hating behind. You mad Kenny? You mad that in the span of 6 minutes Beyonce & the Dixie Chicks & their sickening band & the Mamas just shat all over your entire existence? Ha suffa!
I think it’s fabulous that the Southern community ostracized the Dixie Chicks until they weren’t relevant anymore and as of 30 minutes ago they’re officially more relevant than any of the people who kicked them out. They tried like hell to keep Bey off that stage, and not only did she get on the stage, she brought the RIGHT-WINGED political outcasts with her. It’s a racist Republican’s worst nightmare. Suck it.
