Is that true?! That is fucking a-mazing.

This might be my pregnancy hormones at work, but just reading this made me start crying, it’s so sweet and supportive!

I would probably vote for a can of Vernor’s Ginger Ale in a wig if it ran against Bill Schuette. But people had been throwing her name around before she announced, and I think it’s a good sign (and smart marketing) that she came out to the march right after announcing, no coincidence I’m sure. Hell, it insured that…

Yes, this has me at least pondering what in my past would ACTUALLY disqualify me or others.

Good for you! I don’t know if it’s totally crazy, but I’ve been thinking of a woman I know locally who I think would make a great pol anytime I see an article like this, or read about organizations like Emerge that train women who are considering running for office. This was the final straw, I just messaged her to…

One of the Pantsuit Nation-type FB groups that has sprung up created an invite for a “Peaceful Protest” of the PP protest. So searching around Facebook might be one way to find out if such an event is already being planned. The one in my neck of the woods is slated to go from 8am to 11am on Feb. 11th, you could also…

I don’t see running for office in my own future, but at least all this talk is getting me to consider it. And it’s getting me excited to support women who do run locally (Gretchen Witmer for MI governor in 2018, woot!!)

Well shit, I’d watch that too! Young Pope: First Blood.

I’m just now remembering that I have relatives from Cornwall, that and the beauty you’re describing are ticks in the “watch it” column.

I watched season 1 of Bletchley Circle, didn’t love the 2nd as much. Thanks for the recs! I found Cafedal on Netflix via DVD, I just need to figure out what order they come in.

Yes, maybe it’s just because I’ve been pregnant (and thus sober) for so long, I feel like I can immediately clock someone who isn’t sober. It’s part of the show’s design, they sleep-deprive them, then ply them with more booze than food. Voila, TV magic!

Awesome, this sounds PERFECT. Thanks for the rec!

It’s my theory: she naps all the time, has temper-tantrums when she’s not the center of attention, she has a nanny, she can’t seem to keep her clothes on. Corinne is a toddler.

I mean, mining is filthy work. Filthy.

SOLD!!!! SOLD!!!!! WHERE DO I FIND THIS MAGIC SHOW???!?!?!?

You’re selling me with talk of the scenery and good female characters. No offense to Mr. Turner, but if I’m going to see someone sans bodice in a bodice ripper, I want it to be a lady.

I only JUST realized it’s on Amazon Prime!

Bleak, you say? Man, you’re really giving me the hard sell here!

I will give it a shot once I finish the final season of Downton Abbey, but “mining” and topless men aren’t going to do it for me.

Oh boy is it. With the kind of conservationist method they’re advocating for, I’m surprised the band wasn’t collectively nominated to run the EPA.
