Everyone around you will love you for it.

$10 for the first person who photoshops her in with a blue Star-Wars-ghost haze.

Word glitch right up top: “relegated,” not “regulated.”

I opened your spreadsheet from the CDC- you are REALLY picking and choosing which numbers to included here.

A “peak” is something a mountain has, a “peek” is a quick look. You’re far from the only person who makes this mistake, but maybe give it a tweek tweak!

It’s very upsetting to read that they switched out a potentially “gross” pill overdose (what will the vomiting, convulsing, and stumbling) for a much more glamorous-seeming serene bathtub suicide. Staging this actress who looks like Ione Skye in a Beautiful Dead Girl tableau was a deliberate aesthetic choice.

Oh, FFS. This shit sounds like a terrible combination of “truly awful” and “teenager crack.” The narcissism of both of these things is chronic.

Not to mention, the people who actually loved you are destroyed, and the others just want to forget it all ASAP.

This aspect of it worries me. I haven’t watched the series, and I don’t know if I can. But it seems to line up a little too closely with the “I’ll show them” fantasy that goes through teenagers’ minds. Hannah gets all the attention, and her suicide makes her fascinating. It’s eerily close to the school shooter fantasy.

You do! But your ability to publicly denounce that particular sub-policy is proscribed against in the Refusing to Acquiesce to Callous Executive Crimes Against Racial Denominations gag order of the act.

That’s not what happens. But it’s interesting that in the popular imagination, that’s the understanding of it- very much “we hear what we want to hear.”

That’s definitely the shorthand-for-idiots version, like the Trump supporter in this story.

Yeah, this one’s not so great. Why no foot-washing and food-multiplying now, Jesus?

Except for the whole “getting all the inheritance” bit. The prodigal son asks to become a servant in the house, and dad welcomes him to a feast welcoming him home. The responsible brother is bitter, so Dad just says, “Relax, you’re still getting the money and land, just don’t be a jerk to your brother. We should be…

The parable at least has the added aspect that the son was penitent and humble after he realized the error of his ways, and his dad didn’t give him any more money. He just forgave him and welcomed him back into his home.

Commented the same before seeing your post. “Prodigal”- I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

“A short elderly black man with wide eyes grabs my arm to tell me, “The prodigal son has come home.”

This is accurate! In the sense that “prodigal” means “wasteful/squandering.”

The parable of the prodigal son is literally, the prodigal son was the absolute worst. But when wasted his inheritance and came crawling…

As long as they stay the hell away from whoever adapted Anne of Green Gables, I support this project.

I don’t want to see Jo racing to catch Professor Bhaer in a stolen landau, the militia in hot pursuit.

Horrified me as a kid, horrifies me now. I got actual goosebumps of horror reading your comment.

Amy writes about this in her book. What’s refreshing is that she talks about how incredibly fun it is to give people money- how when you’re at her level, it’s this thing you can do easily to make things better for someone She says it just makes her feel incredibly good to do it.

It’s interesting because she grew up…
