The emphasis on homelessness feels icky to me. It’s a weird assumption to make (crazy guy who needs to bathe is not necessarily homeless) and to emphasize her own commitment to helping the homeless only to have this happen just feels . . . squicky. That said, I hate that she experienced a violent assault and I do hope…

My Southern Baptist mother was in the process of converting when I was born and finished when I was a baby so little me went through the Mikvah bath with her and if I were still a practicing Jew I’d be considered a Reform Jew. Of course, there are some who think that doesn’t count but as OMG! Ponies! so wisely points…

I lost many friends when I was raped by a cool party guy. I am certain a few of them believed me about the rape; they were kind and supportive for a while. But eventually the party needed to continue and he was chosen over me. They made the conscious choice to hang out with a rapist instead of a cool, fun, nice, AND…

Tried hard as hell not to laugh and then explained it more clearly. I felt like I had stolen the last of her innocence; she was slightly horrified by the new information.

My niece walked in on me changing my tampon and I said something like “Oh hi, I’m having my period.” Her alarmed reply: “AGAIN!? BUT YOU SAID IT HAPPENED WHEN YOU WERE TWELVE!”

I agree with your interpretation of the quote and hope that others smarter than me will pipe in on that. “Kind of goofy” doesn’t begin to cover her stone cold lunacy and hatred; I actually kinda suspect her of doing Coulter-style “performance” cause they think it beats a real job.

1993: “Blaming the victim makes perfect sense if the victim has behaved stupidly . . . when you drive your car to New York City, do you leave your keys on the hood?” and so many other shitty things here:

I do appreciate your generous perspective! Now that you’re making me really think about him (instead of being just a cranky lady), leaving Will to deal with the rumor without the stress of handling crowds of dude-bros may have just been a kind and pragmatic choice on Luke’s part. And he does have a good relationship…

I thought he tried to be controlling with Rayna, giving himself credit for her comeback and trying to push her to do things she wasn’t totally comfortable with (sorry but I don’t recall specific examples at the moment — things related to their public appearances — he just seemed so red flag-y to me) — and holy crap,…

SO moving! I feel like he finally heard me all the times I’ve drunken mumbled at the TV “Baby, it’s alright, I still love you!” My inner meemaw is so strong when I watch this show.

Excellent points. I guess Kevin is all kinds of codependent? Hopefully we’ll get to learn more about him instead of him just being Other Gay Guy. But also: they’re young and look fine as hell, so maybe that’s all the motivation either one needs for now. I’m hoping Luke’s assholism and especially his homophobia will be…

I like Scarlett & Gunnar together. :~/ They’re pretty and they sing so pretty together and they need to get nekkid together lots more now.

Brilliant! I hadn’t considered this and hope you’re right.

WILL IS HAPPY AND I’M SO HAPPY FOR HIM! Ditched that shit-ass daddy and got himself an awesome boyfriend. FINAfuckingLY!

I’ve struggled off and on for about forty years trying to divorce my hateful narcissistic mother. I was convinced everything that went wrong between us, her anger, her criticism, all her negative bullshit she dumped on me, was my fault and that if I worked hard enough she would finally be able to love me. It’s now…

The most interesting thing here to me is that Brent Purgason won’t fully spell out cuss words.

I’m sorry you lost your friend. I’m not a Dead fan but I love love love this for a funeral song:
