I’m from California and I was appalled. An LA without Mexicans is no LA at all. Ryan Gosling can wear the hell out of a rolled sleeve, but he CANNOT sing. A white jazz musician, really? The only things I liked were the solid color dresses and the alternate timeline at the end. They should have made the whole movie…

that’s adorable!

Hearted. My list is usually more diverse, but I am spending every non-working moment lost in 3 legit fantasy novels in Audible, Kindle, and library books. #escapism #wakemefromthisnightmare #i’dratherbeinNeverwhere

Thank you for this amazing gift.

Aww, thank you! My best friend recently became a therapist and she told me it’s unbelievable how quickly spouses run away as soon as mental illness rears its head. :( Meanwhile, I think I’m the lucky one to have such a strong, creative and inspiring husband.

My husband has this problem with his bipolar disorder. He feels bad and then he feels bad about feeling bad, which compounds the bad feeling to a worse feeling and then he feels worse about feeling worse. When I can convince him to just feel bad and NOT feel guilty about it, he can move on faster.

This one’s fun too!

There are tons of Spanish carols! But “Feliz Navidad” is the only one simple and repetitive enough for the average white ear. This is the first one that comes to mind from my 80's childhood— it’s always ready to get stuck in my head. There’s a ton of these villancicos.

Oldies but goodies: The Jeeves books by P.G. Wodehouse! They’re as light as humanly possible and just delightfully British. Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy— hilarious nonsense. The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde- I used to read it once a year just for the laffs. :)

My husband is not a forgetful person, so when he suddenly was forgetting to walk the dog, forgetting that he was cooking and burning his food, and missing trash day (among other things), we chalked it up to stress. But soon other symptoms developed, including sleeplessness, racing thoughts, and agitation—and we…

I think I’d like your sister! I’m also consistently OTT and can’t help it. Luckily, people seem to think it’s cute, so nobody has asked me to stop being a Christmas tree yet. Maybe when I reach middle age they might start worrying about me— but for now I’m young and bubbly enough to pull it off.

I love Disney villains— and they do look just the right amount of detailed! Thank you!

Thanks, this one looks like a blast!

I love coloring books! Let me know if you recommend anything with medium sized spaces. You know how adult coloring books are all about tiny, tight designs? I don’t feel like I have enough space to really color in those and I have to keep my pencils sharp. But then the spaces in children’s books are too big and you can…

OMG, me tooo!

Me too! But worse— they always think he’s my husband and we are married. Even when we were YOUNG, like 15 & 16. “Is that your husband?” I have no idea why. We’re not a super touchy family or anything. And then people think I’m my dad’s hot young girlfriend. People are weird.

I’m so sorry you have to deal with that. I work in a liberal oasis, so we are all deep in mourning together and supportive of one another. I can only hope that you get some solace from the Jezzies.

That is repulsive. I am guessing you’re not from Philadelphia or another such public toilet of a city. I love Philly, but I would have to bleach my feet if they were soaked in sidewalk and street water.

Wait, I mean bigots think of PC as the opposite of what they are, if what they are is the baseline for normality.

I think it’s the antonym of bigoted.
