Bridesmaids fails in that a good many scenes happen on the road from Milwaukee to Chicago...which the filmmakers seem to think consists of cornfields, instead of Kwiktrips and cheese castles. 

Content writer here. Tried Copy.ai this morning. Not worried about my job. But does take care of the pesky “getting the first words down on paper” step. 

If you like costume dramas and you like Nicola Coughlan, you should watch Bridgerton. I’d say after the lead romance, her story line about her relationships with the Bridgertons is the most engaging/substantial.

Just please, please try to ignore the horrible quote-unquote ‘regency’ silhouette of the costumes.

Honestly, just call it “Snow White” and cast short actors/otherwise nonthreatening actors—not actors with dwarfism (or at least not all). There is literally no reason the characters need to be quote-unquote dwarves. They have no magical powers, the plot doesn’t require them to be short.

“...when corporations can make us all rich.”

No, she’s not. She posted a video on YouTube specifically to refute this where she emphatically states that her kids are vaccinated. She just didn’t follow the traditional schedule. Her kids are vaccinated for covid, she has been vaccinated for covid.

I’m 100% white and my fav tweet from yesterday was the woman who wrote “I’m traveling back in time and redlining white mortgage applications.”

That lipstick is giving me hope that she’s moved beyond her “Theresa May sober suitcoat and practical haircut” phase...I know she was trying to get into politics, but Eddie Izzard without glam is disconcerting. 

I too, sped through Harriet the Spy in one day. Fond memories, though I can’t remember the plot.

Nah, we’re here. Reading The Root is how we find out where we need to dispatch our Karen Intervention Teams. Sorry we’re so behind. We had a lot more funding under Obama but Trump slashed our budget and doubled our workload.  

I have had that line going through my head nonstop for two weeks, so I am here for this despite being only 48% That Bitch. 

This post needs more comments.

Ditto this. I didn’t go because I knew it would be hella crowded. My coworker went and said Lizzo killed it but the view was so bad it wasn’t really worth going.

Smart move. I logged on just now to read the full statement. I kind of wish there was a way for me to show my support, but the main thread people were posting to also locked. 

Do not hate on Dessa! Would be awesome to get her some national notice.

Don’t tell us! Tell your fellow men! Yell, scream if you have to!

You think they vet people? Naw. That’s how ultra-conservative Sheriff Clarke ran and won as a Democrat in Milwaukee for so many years. He registered as a Democratic candidate; I don’t think he got much (if any) money from the local party, but there’s no gatekeeper saying who can and can’t run under a particular party…

Anyone watching The Good Place?

This, exactly. I went on a school trip in college from Minnesota to Georgia. At some point one of our hosts pulled us aside and said another one of our hosts was bothered by us calling her by her first name instead of “Miss X.” The cultural difference had never occurred to us, and we were pretty mortified.

I hate being called ma’am, but you know what? When someone calls me that, I keep my damn white lady mouth shut because I know they’re intending it respectfully. So much easier than the path this teacher took.
