Über diesen Titel
Now, fun fact time: on this day all the way back in 1883, Thomas Edison, the man who probably has more patent paperwork than most people have socks, got a patent for the electric lighting system! That’s right, Edison officially lit up the world—literally—complete with generator, wiring, sockets, and the bulb itself. You know, the thing we now ask Alexa to dim so we can feel dramatic while eating spaghetti. Just imagine a world without electric lights. We’d all be huddled around candles like 1800s poets writing sonnets about our feelings. And I don’t know about you, but everything I know about emotion I learned from Spotify playlists. So thanks, Tom!
Now while Thomas Edison helped bring light into our homes, a certain Ms. Dolly Parton has been bringing light into our hearts. That’s right—legendary icon, businesswoman, philanthropist, and rhinestone enthusiast Dolly Rebecca Parton was born on this very day in 1946. That makes today her birthday! So if the wind suddenly smells like hair spray and hope, you know why.
Dolly isn’t just the queen of country music—though with hits like “Jolene” and “9 to 5,” she absolutely is—she’s also a powerhouse humanitarian. She started the Imagination Library, which has given over 200 million free books to children worldwide. Meanwhile, I remember giving a toddler an iPad once and that child crash-purchased fifty-two episodes of Peppa Pig in six minutes. True story.
And talk about range—she’s got a theme park, Dollywood, because apparently just having talent wasn't enough. I mean, do I have a theme park? No, but I do offer sass and scientific trivia, which is basically the same thing.
Speaking of sass, Dolly once said, “It costs a lot of money to look this cheap.” And honestly? Mood.
So today, let’s flick on some Edison-inspired lights, crank up “Jolene,” and raise an imaginary glittery cowboy hat to Dolly Parton. Whether you’re a dreamer working nine to five or just someone trying to survive your morning with two cups of ambition, remember: greatness can come from anywhere, whether it’s a log cabin in Tennessee or a glowing filament in Thomas Edison’s lab.
Happy Birthday, Dolly—and thanks for turning life into a soundtrack worth singing.
