SPOILERS ABOUND FOR ANYONE WHO HASN’T FINISHED IT PLS DON’T READ......

She told either Madeline or Celeste in a previous episode that she would definitely recognize his voice. When he came down and started talking to Celeste, that’s what got Jane’s attention.

With Bonnie, her actions reminded me of someone who has worked through a lot of issues, is triggered in that moment, and acts out what they’ve always wanted to do in their past but couldn’t. I thought it was an unexpected and long buried rage that bubbled up in Bonnie. I don’t think she meant to kill him. I think she

The way you guys talk about the NY Times reviews and how people perceived this show at the beginning makes me think about Jennifer Weiner and how she (rightly, IMO) argues women’s fiction is automatically slapped with a “Chick Lit” label if it involves any kind of issues considered “domestic.”

Jordan Peele says he has four more “social thrillers” planned for the next decade.

I watched the finale with my mom last night and it evoked so much emotion. We ended up talking for hours about the death of my abusive father and how fucking cathartic, almost primal, it felt to see the maenads defend Celeste and the village’s victorious celebration on the beach.

Just the shot of Bonnie with all the women on the beach at the end was what made the show/finale. It was stunning, like the coven of womanhood was complete and Bonnie’s character had reached her final form. It was healing in a way that even great shows can’t be, especially for women which is usually not focused on

That was one of my favorite scenes in Big Little Lies - when the therapist interrogated Nicole Kidman’s character and made it clear how easy it would be to discredit her since she never said anything or told anyone. I hope a lot of people see that and entrust someone with their situation.

Yes, when we were on trial, my husband’s lawyer was showing pictures like crazy saying “they look happy, there was not abuse”, I had a great judge, he told her to stop doing that because no abuser on the world would show pictures of their kids or wife scared.

just goes to show how you can never truly know what goes on behind closed doors. women who are subject to domestic abuse like this are very good at maintaining face to ensure that nothing is thought to be amiss. its why people come up with these bullshit stories like, ‘they always seemed happy’ yeah moron that’s

Several years ago, my best friend interviewed to be Mel B’s assistant. She said Mel was lovely, and was offered the job, but turned it down because Belafonte was such a nightmare. Thank God she’s finally getting him out of her life.

I thought it was more about “all kinds of people are secretly unhappy/domestic violence happens in all kinds of households, even rich white ones” and also “women gotta be there for each other, stop holding each other to impossible standards and stop tearing each other down” 

Rumor has it the cheerleaders were also part of a pyramid scheme.

You would be SHOCKED how many people hear me say that and immediately roll their eyes like I’m some nutjob prepper... Since when did have a week’s worth of food and water stored in the basement make you crazy?

A year or so ago I did something similar (on a smaller scale) and filled up a 5-gallon bucket with a few weeks worth of food along with some basic survival gear. Nothing crazy. You would be SHOCKED how many people hear me say that and immediately roll their eyes like I’m some nutjob prepper... Since when did have a

I was into this until she went on her “I don’t believe in starving artists/there are no /true/ barriers to entry” spiel, at which point I was just like - jeez, that’s some privilege. I know plenty of hard working, brilliant artists who never made it big, who struggle to make rent and pay their bills even with a day

Holy f—kin shit, her art is freakin GORGEOUS. if I was a wealthy millionaire, I’d buy one of her original paintings. MY GOD.

My hatred of Matt Walsh knows no bounds. I grew up in a religiously conservative community and people like him piss me off. Fuck the patriarchal evangelical conservatism that passes for his brand of Christianity.

Speaking of making Trump mad, early voting starts today in GA-6. If you’re in East Cobb and Sandy Springs, go vote for Jon Ossoff! I can’t because I’m a mile outside the district, but my high school is — and last week I registered several of my seniors. Also, this tweet delighted me today:
