wtf? it’s monday. does this sort of thing usually happen on a monday? is that something only a commoner would ask? asking for a friend. myself.

Please don’t put spoilers in titles! I don’t have HBO and must wait for these seasons to end and come to Netflix/Amazon/etc. Not awesome to have things revealed just by scrolling through the Jez feed.

He’s long gone, and my brother gave her grandchildren, so it’s all worked out. I don’t solicit relationship advice from her anymore, though! D :

“Stop crying in front of him, guys don’t like that, he wants the Happy ElephantShoe he first met back! So if you just cheer up, things will work out.”

hard to know if this would be a good and timely show or a meteoric hellfire of mixed intentions without knowing who would be in the writing room.

It’s unlikely that she would need to disclose anything, she could just say, “I regret supporting my husband’s campaign.” I wouldn’t be surprised if M isn’t privy to any useful political dirt. If she is, or if she’s being abused in any way, and it’s just a matter of her forfeiting assets or incurring a financial…

I used to work week-long shifts in a rehab center in the south and they served grits for breakfast and we had to eat the same things as the clients as a matter of policy, but it got to the point where I couldn’t even pretend to eat the fucking grits anymore. I would just sneak off and down a granola bar in a…

I have been gray for many moons! Meteor got me banned, then they unbanned me when I emailed but did not re-ungray me. D:

fair fair fair fair fair

I know you think

I have read it and it won’t change your life. It’s clever, a lot of work went into writing it, a lot of work goes into reading it, but it won’t change your life any more than a more subtly crafted and succinct novel will, like Housekeeping.

Mailer is the worst.

Anti-intellectualism is a very real force on the right, and those two reek of the Ivy League. Also, is it really any surprise that they love the woman who rarely speaks rather than Ivanka?

Yeah if Melania ever comes out and says that she fucked up supporting Trump’s campaign and his idiotic racist birtherism and is now miserable and lost then she may gain a smidgeon of pity from me. But she’s going to need to own up to her mistakes first. I’m not going to project forgivable scenarios onto her marriage…

Old World Eastern European would have been more accurate, perhaps. Couples young and old frequently hold hands and kiss in public in other countries.

I use the second person all the time in my writing and it’s not a way to automatically speak for every “he/she/it/they,” it’s a way to invite sympathy for “I.”

I was always told when I was younger (20 years ago now...so, grain of salt) that the best were made from Chinese girls’ and women’s hair. Did the market change or was that never true?

I get where you’re coming from re: finding someone else not related to other politicians, but Eva Peron is not a good example. Clinton has been politically active since she was in high school, continued to be in college, pursued a degree in law, and has been influencing policy her entire life. She had the unfortunate…

Yeah, if you don’t have a sister it’s really hard, especially if you’ve moved like I have. I have a childhood best friend, and a college/early adulthood best friend who’s a new mom and a thousand miles away, and a current best friend who has been my rock in graduate school—will I have another when I finally settle…

Yeah, I’m going to leave graduate school soon and unless I get a job with good insurance we really...can’t have kids. It’s that simple. We already have a lot of school debt between us, and my partner gets a measly $1,500/year on a debit card for his medical expenses. Anything beyond that, he foots the bill. It’s such…
