There is a lot to unpack here.

Honestly, if there were a gossip item every time my husband and I had words... well I wouldn’t need to release a visual album is all I’m saying. Couples have spats. The idea that every argument is a divorce in the making is NON. SENSE.

Jim Webb needs to sit the fuck down. Older Virginia Democrats are some of the strangest beings. It’s like they’re “liberal” except where you know acknowledging slavery and human decency are concerned. And come for me, I grew up as a POC in Virginia... twasn’t a great time. I had a history teacher who told a room full…

Congrats! I had to read that twice.
You earned the star.

He’s right about universal white privilege; I seriously doubt being white confers any advantage upon you in the event of proximate supernova explosion or depressurization in the vacuum of space.

Not to be rude, but that’s why I love British TV. They haven’t caught the Hollywood standardizing bug yet. Yet.

It’s a much better viewing experience when the actors look like the characters would in real life. On the BBC, even pretty woman look like regular pretty women and not like they’ve had tens of thousands of dollars in surgery and fillers and highlights, which is just not believable in, say, an attractive detective.

That’s why I’m all about the BBC programs on Netflix. The femme fatale in those shows wouldn’t get cast as the one-line post office clerk in an American show, and they’re way more believable. Janky teeth ftw!

And he loved the city. Not many stars of his calibre would opt to stay in his home town and make everyone else come to him.

Lou Reed: Here you go, got your order from the bar. Whoa, Prince?

I’m still half expecting him to show up somewhere, as his larger than life persona tells me he cannot be gone. Minneapolis is shrouded in purple. I was lucky enough to get into First Ave last night and cried, sang, and danced with hundreds of other fans.

Can I just reiterate (because I feel like I’ve seen this comment on your pieces a few times before) thank you so much for responding to commenters. And responding to commenters who are questioning you or reacting negatively. And even more than that, thank you so very much for doing it civilly. It’s really a pleasure…

If you don’t find, “if it kept just one person from having to hear Californication,” hilarious I am very sorry for your sad life. The situation itself of course completely isn’t funny, but her expression of contempt for their shitty music is.

I wouldnt have known about this if you didnt write this article to share this womans experience and her voice.

My husband and I have been together for eleven years, and I attribute it to the deeply spiritual conversations that we have with each other. Sometimes they are about the weather and if he should mow the lawn now or another evening. Sometimes they are about what we’ll have for dinner. Sometimes, we talk about who is…

in 4th grade, whenever our teacher was going to teach us maps, he’d say “it’s map time!” and we’d all lie on the floor and pretend to go to sleep like he’d said “nap time” and it was HILARIOUS when we were 10.

“We give each other compliments. He’ll say, “You look beautiful,” or “That looks great.” Or I’ll say, “I don’t know about this outfit,” and he’ll say, “No let’s change that.” And I’ll absolutely say to him, “You know what? No T-shirts.” [Laughs]

Almost as good as the all time best.

I did not even notice the couple kissing. I thought this was just about one woman’s true love for pizza.
