Hard same.

They were. I work in the arts, so we’re not sure what things will be like this year. COVID is a bitch.

I won’t be buying any Friesians, that’s for sure.

Do you remember when she got married the time before? I do. I remember standing in a Meijer (grocery/misc. similar to Walmart) just before getting into the checkout, and calculating my bill. I was going to be $7 over budget, and was trying to decide whether to put back a six-pack of underwear I needed or a block of…

I saw someone retweet her with the caption, “I can’t afford healthcare.”

I felt that.

There is a thread floating around Twitter, which I am not linking because the author doesn’t want to deal with national attention, that explains the Kente cloths were given to the Democrats during a trip to Ghana. The trip was taken right after 45’s “shithole country” remarks drew international attention, and were…

I don’t know how many people have been tested in my county.

I know the county I’m originally from (not in Missouri) has only tested 100ish people, and had 20 cases. Of those 20 cases, 19 died. I’m not an expert in numbers or disease, but wonder if that means they’re only testing the worst cases.

This entire situation…

Yeah, and the tests still aren’t available everywhere in the state. I have several acquaintances who work in healthcare, and have told me that they’re basically sending people home to self-quarantine unless they’re dying, so when it says my county has “X active cases” that means there are X people in the hospital and…

I am not yet in my 40s and teach at a university where the students are, on average, between 18-25. Most of the judgmental questions I get come from the students between 21-25, who have all of life figured out and can’t understand why I’m not doing it the way they think it ought to be done.

They’re young, they’re…

Uh. Have you seen her recent defense of performing in blackface?

Also the reigning queen of blackface ...? The met only kept him because she wanted him, but they BOTH need to go.

I live in one of those places most of the commenters think should be cordoned off from the rest of the US. Almost all of the options are male, full stop.

I’ve been to several. It probably depends on where you live.

It was a car-wreck. I found a clip from her stand-up routine. I got confused because she was talking about the aftermath in her crummy apartment, and my memory had combined crummy apartment with the death of her girlfriend. I may also watch a lot of Law and Order/CSI type crime shows.

I watched one of her recent comedy specials, where she talked a bit about the girlfriend who died (died? was murdered?) when she was a struggling comedian, and a bit about the time of her life surrounding coming out on The Ellen Show. I was struck by how positive and sunny her (at least public) demeanor is, in spite…

I wonder if Paris has ever heard that saying about the things you hate in others generally being the things you despise in yourself.

One of the several Viking shows on Netflix starts with a kid being awoken because his older brother has died, and he has to be rebaptized. I forget what his name was when they woke him, but he spent the next six seasons being Osbert (and also Uhtred, but that wasn’t his given name either). The oldest male heir gets…

He’s also uh ... not known for his level responses to things? I don’t know if he’s generally emotional or if his publicist needs to help coach him more on opinions to have in the media, but I vaguely remember one interview temper tantrum every season sense time began.

I grew up in Tennessee and have a fair number of social media friends sharing those stupid memes about killing babies with pictures of their beloved cherubs as the baby.

I briefly confused Juul with Zuul and was in absolute admiration of you.

Juul is cool, too. But I would attend a Zuul themed baby shower with much higher enthusiasm.

She didn’t fill out her own application ...? She was too confused about how to fill out her own application. If she didn’t know her parents did this for her, she needs to reexamine whether she is fit to live on her own, because girlfriend is gonna get scammed six ways from Sunday every time she leaves the house.
