Forgot to add, I am packing music: Tom Petty, Grateful Dead, the Pogues and Flogging Molly (it’s St Patrick’s Day, y’all). What else would be good for a road trip?

Ok, I’m ok with wanting to dismantle the bad boy trope — I was a Dylan girl myself but I knew deep down that Brandon was where a healthy relationship was at — but your favorite character was Scott? Fucking SCOTT??? Scott.

Winfrey said, “I have said for years that if the abuser is any good, you won’t know it’s happened... If the abuser is any good, he or she is going to make you feel like you’re part of it.”

Haha.  Didn’t he end up with Kelly while Brenda was in France with Dean Cain?

Or did they get to “old” for him and he sent them packing? (shudder)

This, all of this. What I took away was how good he was at abusing these boys (and who knows how many others), how organized, how experienced and skillful. Michael Jackson was Pedophilia LLC, he was the IBM of abuse. He was a child abusing machine, from the love-bomb beginning to the “don’t cross me” end. Back in the…

Thank you for this. It’s a wonderful article that so perfectly explains how I’m feeling. I’m not prepared for the characters from my high school shows to start showing their mortality, least of all Dylan Fucking McKay. This one hurts. And there’s a million reasons why his character perpetuated a bullshit sexist…

She gets the last laugh. She’s the powerful president of SAG-AFTRA (since 2016) and in the real world that makes her the biggest winner of that whole cast.

It was at that point that I was like “Okay, that ish? Cannot be explained away, by anything.”

Also, people need to remember that abusers groom their character witnesses with as much care as their victims. Of course macaulay culkin et Al can say they never had been abused. That was part of the plan itself.

It’s all a bullshit fantasy sold to women that shitty men are complicated and suffering from abandonment issues and you, yes YOU, can fix them by staying with them no matter how objectively terrible they are to you and you’ll never win because if they keep being shitty, it’s cause you didn’t try hard enough and if you…

This documentary and the subsequent hour with Oprah was the best thing I have ever seen on childhood sexual abuse. The clear articulation of grooming, the motivations of the boys’ refusing to speak the truth initially, the complicatedness of abuse when it feels like love, the life long effect it has on the victims and…

Wendy is trash.

One of the most insidious things about sexual abuse is that the trauma inflicted on the victim causes behavior that people use to discredit them. For instance, the victim vehemently defending the abuser is actually one of the potential symptoms of abuse. It’s a result of the grooming and of the desperate need for the…

It’s in our policy/handbook that anyone leaving needs to give 30 day notice. I could just not play by the rules and tell them I’m leaving in 2 weeks and to suck it. I’m still thinking about changing it down to 2 weeks. 

Today I booked the Paris hotel for the surprise family trip. Mr C now wants to explore hotel for a couple of days then transferring to an Air Bnb so I am crafting my next pack of lies for that discussion. One more couple needs to do their flight then we’re all set except for the incidentals. This is a lot of work & my…

She’s also an actress who starred in a successful Marvel movie. If any one knows about series $$$$, it’s ol’ Johnny.

“Depp has since managed to ruin Harry Potter and spend all his money on skeezy hats and flea market jewelry.”

I talked to my mom earlier about this, she will always be best remembered as Jessica Tate.

Oh gods! Katherine Helmond is gone? Sad day indeed!
