Aw man, that’s too bad, but I got the impression that might be the case from browsing the bakery’s Instagram account...on the bright side, Ptak’s daughter is ADORABLE!

She got this bit on Colbert right under the wire!

I think the American Girl company made an effort to make the Native American doll Kaya and her accompanying novel series as historically accurate and respectful as possible. They consulted with members of the Nimíipuu (or Nez Perce) tribe, and the tribe’s executive board endorsed the project. Her stories are set in…

I need Mary Steenburgen to guest star in the next season of The Good Place. PLEEEEAAASSEEE
