Im also a huge covers fan! Always and forever: Eva Cassidy singing Fields of Gold. And Jill Scott singing Lovely Day is just the best way to start any day ever. Also Dolly apparently did a version of Shine that is pretty awesome. 

I just watched the Alexander video for the first time in this article. I (white woman, 30s,for context) got horrible shuddering flashbacks to working retail and any number of jobs that are “menial.” The condescending look in her eye, the stance, explaining basic life to this man- it’s so maddeningly disrespectful.…

Ugh my husband eats sardines at work. Among other people who don’t love him despite this quirk. I keep telling him “you are THAT guy, please don’t.” But he doesn’t care- “they are good protein and filling.” (All the rest is okay, except the pun thing, but at least that he keeps in the house.)

Last week I posted to SNS (for the first time) after receiving a cancer diagnosis for my pup. He was put to sleep on Wednesday, at our home, and buried in our backyard. Tonight I’m sitting around a campfire (which he loved) thinking about him and what he meant to us. He was with me & my husband for 9 years, most of…

I’m sure we will hear the name at same point and you first comment will be righteously vindicated. 

I’m sorry about both of your pups, that is terrible.Comfort is the name of the game at this point. He had steak for dinner (he won’t eat his dog food but steak he gobbled up..he’s sick, but not stupid!) and now he’s cuddled up in bed with me. It’s such a tough call to know when it’s time to let him go. Good for you…

From a People headline today, Justice Smith (who was amazing in The Get Down!) came out as queer and had this to say about BLM and the inclusion of gay & trans folks in the movement:

Fuck guys, my dog is dying. A week ago he seemed like a healthy 10yo dog, then he had a seizure, wouldn’t eat his food and today we learned he’s got some kind of cancer and we’re talking palliative care and maybe just weeks to live.

Motherboy! Alicia is the new Lucille Bluth. I often joke about Motherboy-ing my 7 month old son. My husband no longer finds it funny, just worrisome. Alicia is sticking to it for 9 years. Watch your hand little Buster Silverstone! 

It seems like trying any new deodorant in summer in New Orleans is a risk. New Orleans summer is for tried & true deodorants, try outt the new stuff in Minnesota in spring maybe.

After the Superbowl show when she and Shakira were up there dancing like mad all anyone could talk about was how good they looked at 50 & 43. I decided to believe that the only reason I don’t look good is that I’m not quite old enough yet. 

Hahaha! I absolutely LOVE to read advice columns and be judgey with the othervcommenters and I still won’t touch the Hax comment section with a ten foot pole. That place is a mess.

Maybe Alison Roman is genuinely sorry for what she said, but before this weekend I had never heard of her and could not pick her out of a lineup of two people. So it probably wasn’t the worst thing to happen to her career. And cookbook author drama during a pandemic, when people are stuck at home cooking for…

You are so sweet and so spot on. This seems really reasonable for so many people and I think it's awesome that you can be jealous but also just happy for your sis. 

Adele looks like a different person and I can’t help but think of those people who say they look back at their “best” photos from their skinniest days and think about how unhappy they were because of life stress and the pressure they felt to get that skinny.

I grew up in Vermont and my Dad loved to ice fish.  We had a chocolate lab who loved water so much that he would put his head in every single ice fishing hole my dad drilled. The first time he did it I thought “there’s a mistake he won’t make again!" Wrong. He loved it. Came up, shook off, went to the next hole. He…

That was far and away the best sketch of the show. And her cats deadpan expression through the whole thing made it even better next to Kate's wide-eyed manic look. I still watch her Casablanca skit from a few years ago everytime I need a laugh. 

I am of an age where Brad Pitt was the heartthrob of my youth. So maybe it’s nostalgia or maybe it’s the quarantine talking, but he could still get it.

As far as I can tell Julianne Hough and this Brooks fellow are married to each other for a living. She dances I think (or did? Somewhere?) and I have no clue what he does for a living other than explore facets of himself through this marriage.

I have told my husband- many times actually- that I want a funeral pyre. I want to be set on a lake on a wooden raft, then the whole thing lit on fire while people on shore have a bonfire and a beach party. They are allowed to shove off the pyre before it’s lit and then try to shoot flaming arrows onto it to spark the…
