Shrill is everything I’ve been day dreaming about writing for 10 years but so much better than I ever could have done. I’m so glad there’s more coming. Also please give me more Samantha Irby. That episode was brilliant and beautiful in such a subtle and gentle way.

Well I mean when your mom is/was drug addicted and your dad killed himself and you live constantly in their shadow and with the weight of that grief yeah I mean...money is great but I bet it kind of sucks sometimes

I didn't even watch that show and I know Maddie is far superior 

Same.  I had friend in elementary whose mom pulled her hair this tight every day, and every day my friend ended up with a blistering headache.  One day we were on a field trip and she said she felt like she was going to vomit and my mom took down her ponytail and it was like the skies opened up, but she couldn't…

This is fucking incredible

Everyone should take a hour and listen to the recent episode of Keep It! (Podcast with the beloved Kara Brown) with Mandy Moore.  I never cared one way or the other about her until then, and now I am desperately in love with her and will forever be a fan.  She's funny and smart and charming and interesting and a joy…

i’m fairly sure that’s an entire category on pornhub. not the best rationalization in this situation

i found it interesting that roughly two hours after Princess Nokia posted her video on instagram, Ari posted a photo of her and a group of men that she credited with writing and producing some of the biggest hits, including hers. it was like she was already trying to distance herself from the creation of the song…

I've watched the city girls video 3 times now it's just SO FUCKING GOOD

yes. Currently talking about how mad I am with a friend who is also an ari fan but a bigger princess Nokia fan (same boat for me). And I am fucking MAD because Nokia does it better, it's more meaningful, and when she called ari out on it on ig a few hours ago she started getting dragged for it BUT SHE'S FUCKING RIGHT

i remember this episode and being like “oh wow, i hope she dumps him...”

Thank you for this. 

Samesies.  Wanna be friends? 

When I found out years and years ago about their friendship it was one of those "of course they are.  How could they not be" kind of responses.  I don't believe in heaven yet I keep finding myself hoping that somewhere they've found each other again.  

I worked in hospitals starting in my teens until my mid 20s, in the admin side but still dealt with a lot of doctors. Some of them are absolute entitled scum bags. When I first started and wasn’t totally comfortable (and before I found out that my boss was 100% OK with me telling them they were disgusting) I would…

If he wouldn't casually but enthusiastically give a man the same compliment then he should not be giving that compliment at all, especially in a work place

Thank you for posting that.  The writing was great on every level but then someone in the comments said he looks like bad brie and I choked on my coffee.  Bless. 

I see what you’re saying, but as someone who worked in administration in hospitals since I was a late teen and continued to do so for 15 years, hospitals in the US have always been businesses, even the not for profit ones I started out in.  They just used to hide it better. 

As a teacher who often deals with 12 year old boys, this is an EXCELLENT litmus test

I just finshed showing Mary Poppins to my class and was like "God damn that woman was gifable"
