Ben Whishaw. Yes, please!

That’s true, (except the pupper does watch us pee, tho he does not have fingers). Kudos to you two for raising a kid without imbuing him with a lifelong fear of eternal hell fire... So, that’s nice! He’s very lucky to have you! :)

That makes me extra special as I’m a brown atheist librul— did I mention non-procreating working woman? Their little minds cannot fathom me.

You sound like an amazing person and I think I love you. And you’re smart to stay away from the awful humans. I’m not from the city where we live, so I tried hard to connect with my husband’s family, who were super friendly to my face. Turns out they’re all Trump supporters and when I’m not around they say shit to my…

Exactly! Honestly, pleasure should be a respectable of element of what makes good literature. I doubt it hurts his feelings too much— he must be laughing all the way to the bank.

I think everyone agrees on the nonfiction work. The rest is pretty divisive. I am pro-all of it!

I don’t know where you got that. I was doing my best to refute the public condescension that King gets for being popular and that I get for enjoying his popular oeuvre, specifically addressing her question of whether his writing is actually good or just popular.

100%!

I have a bachelor’s degree in English and a master’s in writing. And I get crap all the time for the following fact, but I do not care: Stephen King is hands-down my favorite writer. I’ve read and enjoyed almost all his work. He’s obviously not going to expand your vocabulary or challenge your comprehension, but what…

Headaches are so annoying because the causes are so varied! Have you checked out your vision, allergies, or menstrual cycle? When I young I would get small headaches CONSTANTLY. It was usually fixed with a trip to the optometrist for a new glasses prescription. One time, my optometrist said my eyes were fine and that…

Bursting my bubble over here. I’m a habitual 15k per day stepper and I felt superior about it— until now! I guess I gotta aim for 20k to keep my crown!

Chewing Gum was incredible. I sat and watched it in one day. We need more hype about lady-driven TV!

You just blew my mind. Her character in Fleabag is so terrible and awful compared to her amazing character in Broadchurch that I didn’t recognize her at alllll!

I love that all of our gents rejected the stereotypical household in which they were raised. Also the life tips from a person who is not role-model material. LOL. I feel that. My MIL tried to stop me from giving my dog a tiny taste of Thanksgiving turkey because it’s bad for them, even though she kept her dogs chained…

Wow! I really feel you on this so much. My smart, handsome, athletic, creative, conscientious husband is not seen that way at alllll by any of his relatives. He has achieved things that maybe 1% of the population has done, but to them he’ll always be the guy who wouldn’t accomplish anything beyond living in his…

Yup. They call the space between Pittsburgh and Philly Pennsyltucky. Visiting my ex’s grandmother out in the sticks, I was the only brown person for miles. There had been KKK meetings on the hill next to her property. “Get Out” level creepiness.

I had no idea that was himmmm!!! The man hasn’t aged, he’s ripened.

Haha, I completely agree. Monogamy is easy for me as a normal-looking non-famous person. ScarJo is an A-list sex symbol with male peers and probably all men everywhere shooting their shot with her. And even if she never acted on it, I’ve witnessed in some of my hotter/flirtier friends’ relationships that getting tons…

I’m with you! Little me and my little backpack travel as much as we can afford. I don’t care if I wear the same jeans for a week if it means a new city to explore. I definitely get how it sucks to be a tall person or high maintenance, but I can’t reach high shelves and my hair is never perfect, so life evens out?

Yeah, that’s fair. But he looked like the only white jazz musician in the movieverse and the only one of the musicians who John Legend just walks up to and gives a lucrative and successful job despite his reputation of being hard to work with.
