I fucking hate AT&T. I’ve lost eight hours on the phone with them over their mistake. Can not wait until I move.

Not that this was the focus of your comment, but I just hate that grown-ass, property-owning, educated women are to be legally/traditionally called Miss. I have great aunts who were never married and died in their 80s and 90s yet would still get mail calling them Miss So and So.

Well, Offred is in the line with traditional marital naming conventions. The reason women are Mrs. is because they are the Master’s. It’s an abbreviation of a possessive.

What I always ask people like this (and yes, I’ve unfortunately met a few as a Black woman) is why do you need to use this word so badly? Why? It’s a garbage word and it’s a slur. And I usually heard it from dumbass coworkers who I was trapped with 40/hours a week. It’s always well you can use it so why can’t I? 

Same. And by long time, I’m sure you meant centuries just like I did.

Black women rock fades of all different types daily. Where are they in this parade of basic?

Black women rock fades of all different types daily and in such a dope fashion. Where are they in this parade of basic?

How did I miss I Love Dick? Griffin Dunne, Kevin Bacon and Kathryn Hahn are all amazing.

Right. there. with. you.

Same here. The only thing that really bugs me is at that age you never think to ask yourself why is my “babe” ok with me being dressed like this and he’s just walking around dressed like he would be anywhere else. She’s 20 years younger than I am though so it is what it is.

I thought this was your answer to Shygurl’s question and loudly snort-laughed.

Seriously. If you can’t say whatever you want at 70, when can you? The cheeto-in-chief certainly does.

It was years ago when Rachel and Greta became friends because I still watched Maddow back when I’d first heard about it. At least five years ago.

That whole don’t speak ill of the dead thing always seems like it was created by real assholes to protect their legacy.

I think you need to be very clear about what you want. That sounds torturous to me. You can continue to just be around her and be friends and flirt with no pay off or you can rip off the bandaid and see where it goes.

You’re so right. I mean everything I’ve read about Rachel Maddow and heard her say about her career is that she was laser-focused at getting into cable news. She says she was spurred into politics after hearing Pat Buchanan’s ‘92 GOP convention speech on the culture wars and then took the exact same steps he did to…

She pretty much sounded just like Greta Von Susteren about him. No one ever told me about his behavior and he was always professional around me.

I saw it. I liked Valentina at the beginning, but it’s not just that she didn’t prepare. I think she didn’t think she had to prepare. She seems to be a Violet Chachki-type who studied Drag Race. However, Violet also learned her craft and didn’t care about making friends or appearing nice on tv. Valentina seemed to…

Good for you. Your life shouldn’t have been so burdened by someone else’s shadiness.
