this new heritage minute is really weird

i’m glad they’re finally bringing fresh timbits baked in store back

okay look i normally don’t comment on posts because i’m too lazy to remember my burner password but here goes

and the REVEAL that she was on the pill was such a good one.

georgette is an absolute angel. i still smile when i remember her performing at the Teddy awards (i think it was there?), against Ted’s wishes, and did a really sweet song and dance routine to steam heat.

a great read. what a lovely sendoff for a lovely woman (and a lovely character as well).

oh looooord, most definitely. this thread is bringing back really interesting memories for me. look for my other posts in the greys - id like to think i’m slightly worth the read :P

well i mean WHICH story? the one i assume you’re implying is that of the death of her son, but there’s a story in the book that got me harder than that one.

(may or may not have 5+ hoarded copies because it was out of print and i liked to hand them out to friends who were fans since it was hard to find)

god, i’m embarrassed to admit that i cried too many times reading “after all” (which, if you haven’t read, is a must).

i met her as a teen. one of the kindest people i’ve ever idolized and had a chance to meet (though i don’t think i could put anyone above the time i met benny andersson. we both talked about how much we loved kate bush as a musician/vocalist/composer and he went on about what he thought of [city i live in]. he even…

god, i’m considering throwing a hatewatching Mary & Rhoda party. as a teen, my autistic ass was soooo special interested in good old sitcoms. to this day i still own that atrocity on DVD. it’s like a rite of passage when you’re a huge fan of the show.

to be fair, mary lived a long and fulfilling life, with heartbreak and happiness both in good measure. everyone’s gotta die someday. this is sad, but to me, it isn’t tragic.

damn it, i just made a heartfelt post about this. where on earth has my thunder gone

would that i could, i would be the girl at her funeral pretending to stifle laughter the entire time. she deserves no less fitting a tribute. she singlehandedly carried one of the best bits in television with the funeral of chuckles the clown.

by was, I mean is, it just seems less common (whether or not it really is)

The fact that this culture was so widespread and accepted as normal is terrifying. The only good thing that comes out of Maddox’s story is that she doesn’t feel violated, and remembers the night fondly. Yes, it was statutory rape, but I’m glad that for the sake of her mental well-being that she never had to put up…

I’m actually quite a lot like you, now that I read your comment. I do the whole non-violent resistance thing and making myself as small as possible, and I also do a lot better in writing. Just not sure what to say anymore, its been a while since this thread happened. I appreciate your comment though, and I’m always…

Oh man I’m not Finnish (but I do speak it, or I did before I got all traumatised or whatever and I’m hoping to be less depressed so I can get back to working on it and my Swedish). I’m just a huge fan of Tove Jansson’s work and I’m a bit of a shit disturber with a kind heart, hence the Lilla My username :)
