Oh, man...that is so sad to hear, and the statement from the family is so touching.
The film does not get talked about much, but Under the Tuscan Sun is one of my favorite woman-centered films of the last 20 years. Like its heroine, it is defiantly intelligent, and cleverly uses the trappings of modern-day rom-coms to…

This is creepy. Can we not promote aggressive long-range paparazzi photos of infants and respect families’ wishes to allow their children private lives until they consent to being public figures?
Edit: and if anyone tries the old “they’re celebrities, they signed up for this” excuse you’ll be dismissed into the pits…
They made a big mistake in calling it “Presidential” alert instead of “National” or something else neutral since so many people seem to think it’s Trump-related. We definitely need these alert systems because nobody watches broadcast tv or listens to the radio anymore and you end up with situations like the Northern…
Kanye’s the kind of sophomoric dunce who believes that clinging to a minority opinion makes you a free thinking revolutionary as opposed to overwhelmingly wrong. He thinks he’s friggin’ Copernicus, but Copernicus didn’t think he was too smart to need books.
I met my wife at a Halloween Dance, while I was wearing a hideous monster mask. This was an excellent strategy, because when I took it off my own homely mug looked good by comparison.
Fred is a handsome puppy. Orion approves of the bowtie. He gets me through a lot, too.
When it rains it pours
This week has been the worst. I know I’ll live my life out in the greys, but here’s a picture of my dog, Fred, showing off his fancy sweater and bow tie. He got me through this shit week.
Blind Dates run in my family.
I went on a vacation to Cuba for 2 weeks when I was in between jobs. My now husband was my Airbnb host at the second place I stopped. I’m bilingual (from college) and he speaks little English. I’m an Ivy League-educated East Coast, middle class girl, and he studied theater and grew up picking tobacco and taking care…
Met my partner of eleven years while both working at an umbrella factory.
Not mine, my parents. Dad home on leave, nobody around to drink with but a neighborhood guy he’s known forever. All night, dude talks about being in love with this girl (who’s engaged), drags dad to girls house in another town. Shitfaced childhood friend introduces them, and immediately pukes near the front door. Hot…
Not mine, but my parents’ friends. They met about forty years ago when she was a bridesmaid at his wedding. They hit it off, But he had literally just gotten married that day so they both shrugged it off. A year goes by, first marriage goes to shit and they run into each other in the street.
My mom’s office had a UPS driver who was a sarcastic pain in the ass. One day she couldn’t find a seat at a popular fried chicken restaurant during a busy lunch hour. The UPS driver was there and offered to let her sit at his table with him, promising not to talk to her. Luckily they did talk, and they’ve been married…
When I was a kid growing up in the south, somehow I was obsessed with the Kansas City Royals. More than anything, I wanted to go to Kansas City and Royals stadium. My dad offered my sister and I trips: anywhere we could drive on a long weekend. My sister went to NYC. I went to Florida for Royals spring training. So…
I was 20 and doing a summer lab internship before final year of uni and not many other students were about. I was having a difficult time with my gaslighting guy-friend who I’d known since school and my mother’s cancer and was a bit of a trainwreck overall. This was my summer of behaving badly - getting drunk,…
Not mine, and it’s super simple, but also incredibly sweet .
Ford’s comment about laughter being the most hurtful detail she remembered really resonated with me, and I teared up when she said it.
I actually hate Millie Bobbie Brown’s parents, because they pushed and pushed her into this career. I feel more sorry for her than I hate her.
