One of the most important things you learn as a liberal arts major is WRITING! And so many people are so bad at it so it’s such a strong skill needed for almost every job.

Yes, my undergrad was at a school heavily focused on engineering, and people always scoffed at my liberal arts majors, mocking it for being “too easy” and that it wasn’t marketable. I’ve found that liberal arts degrees, while less focused, do provide an ample and varied skillset that can make you a fit at a variety of…

There’s a really heartbreaking documentary about food insecurity in the US, and how hard it is for normal working people to make ends meet for myriad reasons. One woman who grew up poor and became an elementary school teacher volunteered bringing meals to families. She talked about how the stress of not having a…

Absolutely agree. This is such a frustrating thing to me. My parents and teachers all seem to have thought that the possible careers were like, teacher, doctor, nurse, lawyer, engineer, pharmacist, and accountant. I think that’s also where the weird hatred for “liberal arts” and people acting like those degrees are…

I teared up when they ate ice cream. I can’t imagine what it would be like to eat in public and not care what anyone thinks.

It is SO good to hear how many fans from the arena concert returned for this one.

Yep. Honestly had never heard any of her songs and mostly knew her from Jez’s time covering her as an adult baby. HOLY SHIT. She is phenomenal. She’s a true star and clearly has a huge heart. I was bawling watching that clip, and amazed by her voice at the same time. She really does seem to love her fans as much as…

I watched some of this back on the BBC, and I was so happy to see her fighting so hard for this, fighting so hard for the music. She was (understandibly) in tears damn-near the entire time, and still put on a helluva show.

Peyton Manning has always been a fucking asshole.

If I was not an Ariana Grande fan before the past week, I am now. She kept the focus on those who were injured and died in the explosion, not on herself. She kept her word to come back and give another concert. Her choice of Somewhere Over the Rainbow for a tribute to those who were injured and died would have made a…

And this one OMG.

Even from her first statement after the bomb attack, then visiting injured fans in the hospital, arranging this concert and the donations to the Red Cross, and then go ahead and hold the show after last night, all to make sure Manchester is not forgotten, she’s done more — and done it better — than lots of “serious”…

I’m not ashamed to say I cried a bit (a lot!) I’m a Mancunian so this was close to home for us. (30 minutes away) The arena and OT cricket ground are pretty much local venues. 3 of our friends had taken their kids to her arena concert, all of them went back tonight. Ariana and everyone who performed did us all proud -…

Agreed. She’s showing such strength for her fans and against the terrorists. Perfect response. Actually perfect

Well, he eats Papa John’s, so he has always been evil in my book.

Off topic but slightly pertinent: why the fuck did Peyton Manning play golf with Trump today? Peyton, what the hell?  

All the feels. I hardly knew Ariana before, but she put on a great show, and she’s only 23! Personal highlights: Pharrell & Miley singing Happy, Miley and Ariana singing Don’t Dream Its Over, Chris Martin singing the Oasis classic Don’t Look Back In Anger and Fix You (and yes I know I’m supposed to hate him but his…

Good for her. She deserves a lot of credit for her response to the attack and her attempt to push through all of it to provide some normality for her fans.

It was really moving and uplifting and I’m utterly impressed with Ariana Grande.

I’m far too old to have had any opinion of Ariana Grande before this, but she has impressed me enormously. She was poised, emotional, engaged and engaging and she did a fabulous job. What a role model. Really well done. Somewhere Over the Rainbow was outstanding.
