Happy Bastille Day, everyone!

You’re a bit confused..

against free and comprehensive access to birth control under the Affordable Care Act, a long-term project of the Religious Right

This was the first (and only) book I ever re-read as soon as I finished it. SUCH a good book. Which made me all the more disappointed when I read (and hated) The Goldfinch...

Wait isn’t she married to that guy who goes by The Fat Jewish? Or used to be married to him..?

Honestly it seems she became a star *despite* being in Twilight. Right after Twilight, Jason Reitman cast her in “Up in the Air” (for which she was nominated for an Academy Award). He says he wrote the role with her in mind, even though he disliked that she was in Twilight, which he called “a graveyard of acting”:

I never interpreted the ending as “girl changes everything about herself to get the guy.” My interpretation was “this is the transition from 1959 into the 60s and the start of women shedding societal expectations/owning their sexuality.”

His supporters are already saying, “No no no no, he was OBVIOUSLY saying that looting LEADS to looters shooting people. hE WAs CaLLiNg FoR aN EnD tO ViOleNce...” Completely ignoring the Walter Headley connection.

If she had just admitted what she did, made a sincere apology (or literally even sincere sounding fake apology) and plead guilty months ago, she would have already served her sentence (or, more likely, not have had to serve her sentence in jail AT ALL because of Covid-19), and could have started her comeback already.…
