this is just the best image.  the best.

One of my favorite video analyses of Fight Club is done by Rantasmo:

The book is far less satirical--there’s a lament/phrase threaded through the narrative about fatherless men. 

I work with a woman in her late 50s (almost 60) who is a dancer (still), and she has all kinds of funky, retro-inspired bell bottom/striped hip huggers, etc.

Well, you general approach to posting helped nudge me even if that wasn’t your intent—thanks!

more great advice (and gentle nudging to me—on one hand, I hadn’t gendered the reader and on the other, I did).

yay! goddess.  some nice advice (and suggestions for literary healing aids).

you are making me feel better about realizing two things about my partner:

great answer, esp. the “delete the app” bit. Grieving is hard, but it takes time.

Twentieth Century is not my favorite screwball—either Ball of Fire or The Lady Eve is—but it’s still a treat—I love Barrymore alternating ennui with frenzy.

I love The Turn of the Screw, “The Beast in the Jungle,” “The Jolly Corner”—all of James’ haunted works. Was so glad to see that The Haunting of Bly Manor put so many of the stories to work—not just The Turn of the Screw (which is still my favorite of James’ shorter works)>

I love Ghost Story. I have a dissertation chapter on it discussing the embedded Sears James narrative that is, essentially, a version of The Turn of the Screw.

Yes, to all the Simmons recommendations.

Thanks, Seabassy!

I know it’s not my place to be proud of all of the Zoomers flexing their voting muscles, but I am. And grateful, so grateful.
