I love your “speaking from I” idea, and I want to add it to my teaching. Do you have a source? I can definitely do my own damn googling, but I figured I’d ask. Thanks!

Same. My wife, who grew up in Italy so her American history is spotty, was a little stunned when I shouted “NO FUCKING WAY” at the screen. 

And by worse, you mean better.

Wouldn’t that pull off some of the bronzer though?

Hypervitaminosis!

Seeing him as Cedric Diggory now just makes me yell at the screen, “WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU!?!”
oh, twilight. right. nevermind.

We have a doctor friend who was teaching local medical personnel how to administer the tests. It’s basically a long cotton swab up the nose further than you’ve ever had anything up there. She says it’s pretty uncomfortable. I relish the thought of him enduring this daily. I envision whining.

My great grandmother was a milliner, and my great grandfather (her husband) was a haberdasher. She was entirely focused on making hats (though sold gloves, handkerchiefs, and other small accessories, but ready-made ones) while he sold everything a gentleman might need from underwear outward. This was in the U.S.

Yep. Local theater companies are putting their costume crews on it. I’ve gotten two that way, and another from a local tailor who is donating one mask to a homeless organization for every mask she sells. I’m not ordering anything from a major company, and I like my little wardrobe of masks. (Tbh, an ad for Tieks by…

As long as my usually-waxed-to-perfection eyebrows are reverting to Clan of the Cave Bear-extra status, I am not wearing anything other than lip balm for the classes I’m teaching via Zoom.

But I do put on perfume. I’m not a complete animal. 

The woman in this video lives in my building. She, too, wears a bra cup as a mask. And that’s the end of the resemblance to FKA Twigs.

Good lord, where do you live?!?

Same. I get my daily Petfinder updates, and there’s this cute girl named Katana who calls to me daily. If my current dog didn’t have a weird allergy thing going on that we’re still trying to work out remotely with the vet, we’d be on our way to the shelter—masks and all.

This. My kid is about to get married to the love of her life (wedding postponed three months because of COVID), and on a personal/selfish level, I’m really pissed off that I’m ambivalent about grandchildren. Of course, I want a baby in the family because babies are amazing, and I think the kid and the fiance would…

Debbie Fogel = Doug Judy? I could get behind that. Would be an interesting tension with Rosa to see Debbie finally find her people—in prison. Maybe she’d end up writing some sort of Marie Kondo-type book that becomes a huge hit. What do you think of Cell Yourself Short: How to Get Prison-Tidy Even If You Have Six…

Goes right along with LGBTQRSTUVW . . .

Nah, I want him to spend time in jail. Hospitals are clean and comparatively comfortable. He needs to hear the clang of bars and be handed his meals on a metal tray. He needs at least as many sleepless nights as his victims.

As Andrew Vachss says, having the thought is a sickness. Acting on it is evil. People with sicknesses should be able to seek treatment. 

Would seriously be tempted if I were Elizabeth Bruening to send him her income and expenses and ask him to find “a few thousand dollars” in her budget. Kinda like when Katie Porter shoved her whiteboard alllll the way up Jamie Dimon’s ass:

I know it’s a bit old, but the Jill Soloway review by Andrea Long Chu = someone smarter than I am confirming everything I’ve ever thought about Jill Soloway.
