I’m so grateful for the continued coverage of shit like this. My shock and outrage helps me haul ass out of my little privileged bubble.

I have to confess that I find The Rock super attractive.

He is a gift from all gods and I do not even like muscular men.

Thank you for this comment.

My gran Fanda divorced her abusive husband in 1970, though that legal decree was years in the making. These books saved her innermost self afterwards. She told me that after almost 20 years of daily assaults, that she felt when she left him that her body was a thing god made specifically for punishment. She didn’t…

That’s right Kelly, you better let a bitch know. I always enjoy your articles on romance novels, the authors and the genre, because it’s something you are so clearly passionate about.

I don’t want Canadian anything. I learned that the hard way after ordering Canadian bacon.

I had an American friend say that Trump is worse than Brexit and I was weirdly peeved that he was trying to steal our #1 Colossal Fuckup sash.

My country is that of Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson. I make no judgement. I feel your pain, my US friends!
