Italy. Grim situation, great Pride parades :)

Don’t waste your sympathy. She’s an adult now and she still hasn’t learned to look after herself: there is no way she couldn’t have simply walked into a drugstore and bought condoms, or into her doctor’s office and asked to go on birth control. This is how you avoid getting pregnant. I can understand teenagers not…

When is Pride not fun? I live in a country that has no basic recognition of LGBTQ people and forces trans individuals to undergo genital surgery in order to have their gender changed on their papers. It’s a grim situation, I tell you. And yet, Pride is one of the best days of the year. The way it’s done where I live -…

Oh no, it was more like Neil sulking and writing moody songs a lot. None of that fedora business.

So much awesome, yeah.

David Crosby discovered her and she had a two-year relationship with Graham Nash. She also allegedly friendzoned Neil Young, who wasn’t terribly happy about it.

Very sad :(

Everything’s great. Now, where are those pastors on fire?

So we can’t tell her she was an idiot for not going on some sort of birth control, given she is now a fully-grown, sexually active woman? Ok, then.

Forget about it. She will, if anything, become even more rigid on the subject. Because she was WRONG and she recognizes she was WRONG, but GOD is MERCIFUL and FORGIVING. So do as she says, don’t do as she does (unless you want to get pregnant twice by two different men, both by accident, by your mid-twenties).

I see young Johnny (I was around when Vanessa first debuted, I remember her well).

I do it with all my friends’ kids, too! It’s fascinating. Not so much because of the genetic lottery thing, but because it’s amazing how traits combine to make a completely new person.

The girls do. The boys tend to look like mum.

Kind of empirical, really, but if you pay attention to it it’s almost unfailingly true.

There’s been some progress in that respect. While marriage in the Catholic Church is a sacrament, and therefore cannot be reversed (something that would take some work to change), divorced couples who have remarried may now be admitted to Communion. It’s the subject of the current Synod.

Quite obviously the Pope isn’t embracing no-fault divorces that cite irreconcilable differences, and would presumably prefer couples to bend over backwards to patch things up.

Actually, both Ava Philippe and Apple Martin look a lot more like their respective dads. Lily-Rose Depp has her mum’s eyes, but the rest is all dad. As a general rule, firstborns look like the parent of the opposite sex. So no big surprises there.

Yeah.

Oh Emily! I scrolled all the way down just to say that I saw Foxygen at Primavera Sound and you were truly one of the biggest surprises of the whole festival. Three minutes in we were texting our friends frantically to drop everything and come straight to the Primavera stage.
