For real. HIPAA orientation at hospitals is basically admin staff in black robes holding candles chanting in Latin about absolute silence. This is mindblowing.

SOMEBODY'S ABOUT TO GET FIRED, Y'ALL!

It'd be great if people could do that, but so many people have kids bc they're trying to make a mini replica of themselves, live through childhood again, or psychically work out their own failures through the kid. Many parents are treating their kids like shit for life bc the kid decided to be their own person, & had…

Putting this out here:

Just love your kids.

That's Brian Blessed, so it could be anything. A joke. A menu. A ransom note. He is the greatest human being the UK ever produced. I'm serious. Read about him. He's a badass.

Wow this is a thorough piece. I've read Hamann's book and I've read Sisi original poetry in German. But some issues:

I will start a kickstarter to make apfelstrudel for the entire Jezebel commentariat.

I'll read all the historical write-ups you have to give lady. Bang up job, seriously.

It is, but I'm actually glad the Broadway adaptation didn't happen. They wanted to make Lucheni and Death the same character, which would have destroyed the show.
