When did women authors have to become magazine cover fodder? Well, Virginia Woolf felt that pressure hard (she hated being photographed, btw or even buy clothes). Edith Wharton? You go girl! Austen? No problem: adoring painters. We can't do anything "notable" unless we can show, photoshop, or buy a pretty face.

They’re PUBLIC BATHROOMS FFS.

...writing that down in my parenting tips notebook.

I don’t know if it’s just my lack of sleep but I’ve been laughing at this for 5 minutes.

I forgive her every single death because she gave me a beautiful parenting gift - my children will do anything I ask if they get points for Gryffindor. They get 50 points each for good bedtimes. My life is exponentially easier.

Can’t stop watching.

They were merely exchanging long protein strands. If you can think of a simpler way, I’d like to hear it.

Can we convince people they were throwing gang signs? Would that get them back under their rock?

I swear to god the dude cannot do ONE FUCKING THING like a normal person.

I thought the same, but still have read every last damn one of the books in the series. They are very rapey — possibly not quite as rapey as GoT, but still very rapey. It seems like just about every character gets raped at some point or another eventually. I’m on the fence, however, about whether this is lazy writing

I think Worthen has a point. But then I’m old.

Meh... I’m not even an Amy Schumer fan but let his life be destroyed *online*. “We paid for you” has to be the smarmiest phrase ever uttered while violating someone.

Dude, you paid for a movie ticket/cable and received a movie/tv show. End of contract.

Rose flavored sugar cookies? That sounds amazing.

I assume the ghost of Jennifer Garner pops into a really intense poignant scene screams ‘I LOVE KARAOKE.’ She is wearing fatigues and starts belting out Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

She’s dead. they flashback to her doing karaoke, so Jason Sudeikis can remember how swell his dead wife who died in combat was before trying to mack on Jennifer Aniston. (have not seen the movie, still 100% sure that’s how it goes)

Their relationship was there from, like, the first quarter of the first book. The denial is strong with some people.

I kinda like that Harry was an asshole adolescent. Made him a bit more real.
