Apparently, the very-sheltered Loretta Young didn’t realize that date rape IS rape until much later in life, as was fairly common for women of her generation. That was what caused her to tell her daughter-in-law about the assault so late in life. I don’t think that new realizations re: modern understandings of rape…

Alternative: just sleep naked!

OMG! I have a deep and utterly ridiculous aversion to my legs touching each other while laying down. I sleep with a body pillow on the reg because I detest the feeling of my knees/legs touching each other when I lay down. If a body pillow isn’t available, I’ll even resort to balled-up T-shirts lol.

My God, DAT ASS (!!!)

If you’re a person who sleeps in nightgowns, can we talk about that for a minute? I honestly don’t think they’re very comfortable to sleep in and I’m curious about why you make that your chosen sleepwear.

Thanks for posting re: Kate’s outfit — she always has the best skirt suits! I was about to go on a Google hunt for this info but you saved me the trouble :)

What’s the deal with pink being a no-no? Is it just in that particular Amish community that they don’t wear pink, or is that true across the board?

I would 100% watch a whole show based around Chang, her thwarted love life, and her burgeoning criminal enterprise!

Correct, I was just about to say this. I’m not up to scratch on federal sentencing, but I think that a decent lawyer could probably get her charges reduced from murder to manslaughter in that situation.

But he wasn’t from that area, right? I thought he was a new arrival to the area because his dad was an alcoholic miner who dragged their family around from place to place looking for work.

I’m also a big fan of the “Heimweh” (homesickness) vs. “Fernweh” (farsickness or wanderlust) dichotomy that German has provided for the world.

I love this so much haha! It simultaneously made me go “aww!” AND lol.

Liyuan Library, on the outskirts of Beijing, China, designed by Li Xiaodong, 2011. The one-story building is covered in firewood and has stepped inside platforms

I want to say “oblivious walk-texting” but I can’t be 100% sure.

During the farmer’s market... Just dropped his pants, leaned against a tree, and fertilized it.

I’ve never noticed it before, but Kurt Russell with a side-part looks surprisingly right as a preppie!

I think it’s safe to say, YES, people were shocked by it.

Agreed. Honestly, I always forget that LSH is even a character until someone inevitably brings her up in the comments. I feel like that’s a fair reflection of how important she is to the story — you can completely forget she exists and it proceeds in pretty much exactly the same way.

I saw Pacific Rim with my new-at-the-time boyfriend and that pretty much EXACTLY describes how I responded to it. Aaaaand I also cried profusely when Idris Elba died haha.

I saw this with my mom, too! I had to resist the urge to cover her eyes during the rapey/violent parts … which is, like, 1/3 of that movie. I felt so bad for taking her to it afterwards haha.
