meh- I’m an art snob and this doesn’t even trigger me :) Folk/Kitsch/Popular art have their place in the world and this falls squarely in that bucket.

I just slow chuckled into a full laugh at that comment. What a weird piece of knowledge to hold in one’s head but yes - I too remember that!

Thanks for the this! Girls like Taylor Richardson and all the wonderful teens out protesting are melting the cynical wall I built around my heart in 2017. These kiddos are giving me so much hope! 

right?! I wrote down her product list because that is some seriously great “no make up” make up.

Erricka Bridgeford is a frickin’ hero. I am just in awe of people like her.

Kate Quinn (The Author of The Alice Network) has a HistFic book about the Night Witches coming out in the next year - am so excited!!!

thanks!

Good for you for telling her the truth!

ding ding ding! When I left my ex everyone was like “finally!” and I was like “WTF guys?!”, the six months leading up to my wedding I was all “is this the right choice? Is dude sort of controlling and creepy?” everyone was saying “Cold feet! He just loves you so much!” Also - I was raised Catholic so I have sinking

amazing!

I laughed out loud at the truth of this because I could never get thin enough or blond enough for my ex-husband (Long Islander, MIT educated, finance wizard dude). He is now married to an absolutely gorgeous Japanese woman who cooks him fabulous meals every night and always looks amazing. When I see a pic of them

Yup! In high school (late 90s) our biology teacher sent a notice home when he was about to teach evolution so that kids could opt not to be in the room while that unit was being taught.

I feel particularly close to this issue (based on my handle :)) I think they used to (Kennedy sort of sealed the Catholic vote for Dems from the 60s-80s) but then when abortion became a wedge issue a whole bunch of Catholics swerved right.

My huge Irish Catholic family demonstrates this in real time. Every single one

Dragonwyck by Anya Seaton? Plot doesn’t quite match up (in Dragonwyck Rich Dude marries young heroine, drama, opium and shenanigans ensue, and there is a humble handsome hero) but gothic, old, migraines and ravishing are all about right. It is actually sort of a wonderful book- very well written gothic american

Don’t forget Durham Co in NC had “computer glitches” on election day. I believe it specifically had to do with software glitching when it came to validating registration. Color me shocked if NC is not one of the penetrated states. (Sad former tarheel here)

The AG has recused himself from the Russia Probe so Rosenstein is in charge. The recent Nunes memo is thought to be laying groundwork for the firing of Rosenstein. If he gets fired, Trump will replace with a Trumpster who will end the probe (either by firing Mueller or doing nothing with results of the investigation)

I was shocked to read that she is under 30. She is obviously an attractive woman but that is a hard 29 (I would have guessed a very well preserved 40).

Do you remember when she hid her cell phone inside her prosthetic leg during the sit-in? She is so bad*ss!

ugh- that gives me the heebie jeebies.

Boo Joy! I think the View is actually the perfect program to have a multi-generational discussion about this very topic and I’m sad it didn’t happen. There seems to be a fairly solid break between older and younger generations on #MeToo and harassment in general and I want us all to keep working through it. I think
