I’m very very excited to read this book, both as a lover of her work and a Gainesville resident. And, as the latter, I know the coffee shop you went to (we have many pictures in front of that t Rex) but I’m desperate to know where you went for tacos.

I immediately thought about that episode too, which was one of my very favorites. It came at such a crucial time, and it was like this little beacon of hope. Anthony’s style of interviewing - which was really just a warm, honest, conversation over good food, brought out the best in Obama. He was such a talent, and…

God I love this so much. It’s one of those things that just...makse me want to do better, if that makes sense? It makes me want to listen to people more, take care of myself, and be more gentle with the people I know. It’s a silly fun TV show but they are setting an example for how to love ourselves and those around…

Already full blown crying

I’m a star wars fan and a woman. My female best friend is a huge fan. and I’m raising a little girl who is a rabid one as well. We exist, and we’re cool. Find the good ones and bask in the unbridled joy of just having fun with a fun thing.

A fold out one (imagine a walking stick for the visually impaired that stows away then snaps into one long rigid piece) was just funded on kick started. They’re $20 and everyone in my family is getting one for Xmas.

I want to believe in my heart that you don’t marry and procreate with any Poehler and end up being a gigantic piece of shit but you know...crazier things have happened

Bless Alia Shawkat for being the voice of reason in this sea of bullshit even though they only quoted her FUCKING TWICE in that entire shit show

He’s hunched down there, as he is at most times. Also, an example of the the heels she frequently wears

Several notes of no importance:

Yeah but Tarantino is trash, so *shrug*

My worry with max is this thing about him and Nev bringing the girl to nev’s room and then max leaving. Like, bro, you knew. What are you doing if not being a fucking complicit scum bag

Yes this. 10/10 silver fox

I think I love your mother. That picture of her has just brought me immense joy.

A+. came here to see who’d say it first

I’m with you. It never goes away entirely - I liken it to waves in the ocean. Sometimes the anger knocks you over. Sometimes you could almost relax in it, letting it carry you. But it’s always there.

I was in 9th grade. I thought “this will be a sad part of American history” but I didn’t think in this way. My kid started school the year Sandy Hook happened - I thought “this is the end of it. No one can ignore dead 6 year olds” but I was so wrong. This is the first time I’ve felt hopeful in 19 years. We may owe our…

I worked today - subbing at an elementary school - and so wore orange in support of gun control. My kid did too. As I stood on the playground with 4 other teachers and about 80 kids we got word of a school shooting in a nearby town. Each of us turned and looked at our kids - silently calculating how quickly we could…
