My husband *was* born in the ‘80s, but so was I and I know that I can be heard just fine using my regular voice. No need to invoke Bart Simpson’s loudspeaker upon loudspeaker fiasco.

Maybe I should have him call your Mom. Then, when they yell at each other and wince from the noise level they’ll both learn a lesson hahaha!

Agreed on the garbage ppl. Yeah I tell him he can easily be heard in China when on the phone. He’s already a very loud speaker, so when I have to get a hearing aid in my early 40s I’ll make him pay for the thing.

For Thanksgiving this year my husband and I convinced his whole family to stay the fuck within our respective households. Husband yelled at the lab top while we ate dinner because that’s how he talks on the phone and to family members on Zoom, apparently. The whole day was punctuated with tech issues and it basically…

God, this. Yeah, I have a sensitive stomach, too, and stress at the dinner table is THE WORST for trying to get down, let alone *enjoy* a meal. My step dad used to demand we listen to the evening news on the radio while we ate dinner when I was a kid. I fucking hated it. I remember ugly-crying with a mouth full of…

I watched the trailer. SOLD! Can’t wait to watch it.

I know, right? So many questions: what’s he doing out alone at night, why no shoes, why the shades, why the monotone, how did he get to the second gas station so fast, and WTFH the weird arched back???

Holeee Hell! I found your story to be THE SCARIEST and was wondering what the artwork looked like. Be careful what you wish for, me!

Wow! Looks like your and your house have a very special relationship. I love that it seems to want to protect you.

I love this story! Your house and your relationship with it is so cool. I 100% believe that old houses are semi-sentient and generally, the older the house, the more life can be found in it. Like a ´thickness´ of time and feeling, somehow. 

Hauntingly beautiful piece of writing. Thank you.

Can Jez please make a space that is like an extension on Saturday Night Social? I know, I know, we can all just comment on the posts but maybe make it more pointed? Prompts, distractions... IDK. Don’t come at me I am tired.

It was ridiculous because all my friends knew this guy was an asshat and I had already broken up with him before. The first time, I found out he was on OKCupid. The second time, I found out he was on Tinder. Because I saw the Tinder icon on his phone screen as I lay next to him, being in love and shit.

“even though someone has been clear about what they want, you think you’ll change them. And so you don’t really see who they are, and just relate to them as someone you feel should reciprocate everything you want from them” - Never have I heard this summed up so eloquently. I have had this done to me, and am ashamed…

Sorry about your tinder woes. I’m pretty sick of online dating myself.

The movie actually did show Capote neglect and dismiss them a lot towards the end.

But is there no receiving involved?

My friend puts it well, he calls her show “emotional porn”.

Also, I’ve been looking really closely, and I simply can’t see any hair on her legs.

English is not my first language but I could tell Sheen’s British accent came through all of the time and it BUGGED me. I like both him and Caplan as comedy actors a lot but neither could nail down a decent accent and I was nit-picky enough to let it bug me throughout the whole of the series.
