yeah the one that I showed her smiling a big cheesy smile while he was talking to her, and as soon as he turned his back her face just fell. That was much more disturbing to me than the fact that he was so eager to get to the white house he didn’t bother to wait for her.

That was my first thought too, because that’s something I ran into after grad school. I had 60k in debt, and was offered 34k in Seattle vs. 50k in Los Angeles. Currently CoL calculators tell me that these cities are about equivalent, but at the time living in LA was said to cost about 20% more than Seattle. So okay,…

Big takeaway: unconscious bias is unconscious.

I think you might be the only one who made it to the end...

Subway looks so sad there on the wrong side of the freeway.

I watched all of the Hunger Games movies, loved the shit out of Silver Linings Playbook, was cool with American Hustle, and even watched Serena despite being skeptical of the continual recoupling of Jlaw/BCoop... but I think I’m officially JLaw’d out. I just can’t anymore, I need a palette cleanser. I also think just…

Also the role that Rory falls into with them, the “cool girl” trope where she’s the only woman treated like an actual human being is disgusting.

I got the impression that Logan is Getting Married, and if Rory wanted to change her answer from season 7, then French chick would be outta there. But if Rory wanted to waffle around and not commit, she could keep being the side piece.

And with Dean! She has fully been there, done that, should know better.

I also loved the way they handled that. Nobody had to come out and say “Michel is gay,” because it was just how it is and it fits.

I had some tough discussions with my husband, because I was flipping my shit and he was like, kind of bummed. We both voted the same way, but in our reactions to the disappointment we realized that I’m about 100x more concerned about Trump than he is. I’m like “THE SKY. IT’S FALLING.” and he’s like, “well, I mean,…

It feels like our country died. Maybe it’s been dead for a while and we’re only just now learning of it, but that’s how it feels.

And probably the other way around too, there’s most likely at least one shitbag on every set.

I feel like these are layered issues and both types exist—there are fucked up people who are enabled by the culture around power, and then there are people who might have otherwise been decent but through example and entitlement become a part of the problem.

and part of that is just being aware and noticing what even pleases you anymore. You’ve likely been doing certain things for so long that you don’t stop to think about them anymore. Try to spend a moment each day reflecting on what you did or didn’t enjoy that day.

I’m convinced that “staying friends” is code for “string you along for ego gratification.”

Any other Jezzies ever deal with pancreatitis? I was admitted to the hospital last thursday, stayed three days, and have been home almost a week now, climbing the walls with boredom and worry. I’m mostly just uncomfortable now, but still can’t take solid food. After some nonsense from an ER doc which is a whole other…

I thought it promoted Stockholm Syndrome?

*we* don’t have any evidence, but that doesn’t mean that evidence doesn’t exist. Also, I thought it very fair that the counselor present at the initial visits has the discretion to alter the arrangement in his favor if they see fit after observation.

ehhh, I’m not sure that addiction really helps you keep what’s important in perspective. Not saying she is in addict because I don’t know enough about her to judge, just that it’s not like there’s some logical piece of you that goes “hmm, I could do this thing I really enjoy, or I could keep my health and family. No,…
