Good for him for addressing this, and for making that connection to the broader political context- that plenty of less fortunate Americans would be burying their kid right now. This is how you use your celebrity and privilege for good.

A lot of people thank their god or their own positive attitude in situations like…

It is an adverb, you’re right. But used as it is in this case, it would mean “I do a bad job of feeling” (hence my dumb joke). We don’t say “I feel sadly” or “I feel happily,” because we want to describe the quality of the feeling (sad/happy), not the way it is felt (feeling your emotions in a happy manner). “I feel…

“I feel badly” is usually the sign of philistine, but maybe it’s appropriate in this case. There’s always the possibility that she’s an actual sociopath.

So.... bright side?

“The Future...Are Robots.”

“Offer up a reason”? In what world do people explain their medical situation on public transit to fend off others’ pissy judgment?

“Hey guys, atttention, everyone near me on the bus! My kid has major sensory processing issues, I just thought I would announce that loudly to you all to make sure you all know I’m not just…

My city has a couple of closed facebook “mom” groups with hundreds of members. Shockingly, these are generally sane, helpful, respectful spaces with mods who will smack down and evict the crazy. I’m shocked that this is a possibility online.

Says the guy who ignored the less aggressive replies.

I feel the exact same way about how people narrativize cancer/chronic illness!

Shouldn’t there be two, for symbolism reasons?

Or an old Scot.

Note: there may be some overlap there.

This looks very Drew Barrymore in 1993, which I’m guessing was the point. But WOW does she look eleven years old with “no makeup” makeup.

My daughter is not even two and she’s so independent and feisty that I’m simultaneously dreading her teen years and looking forward to her twenties!

It was the Great Depression in the 1930s, so to look like that, that kid would have to have been a Donald Trump forbear of some sort. So, points for accuracy...?

Is she, perhaps, an iconoclastic contrarian at heart? This could be a good thing!

I know who Atwood is and I’ve read the book. What does her current age have to do with anything? And I’m obviously not saying that white people have a corner on misogyny. I’m saying that Atwood takes aim at a particular form of right-wing extremism of which white supremacy is an essential component. No one in Atwood’s…

And this is why I have mixed feelings about the decision to diversify the Hulu series. White supremacy being overtly linked to this sort of right-wing misogyny is bang on.

“When it comes to the victims of sex trafficking, Frundt is adamant that the teens are not further victimized by the court system, as she was. She emphasized the fact that teens are being charged and put in jail.”

I like the cut of her jib.

Did your mom once say that someone “just looked wrong, like a Property Brother?” Because if so, I’ve never forgotten that, and have referenced it in conversation.

They look like a face swap.
