Holly Willoughby isn’t a psychic and doesn’t profess to be one. She and Philip Scofield have presented This Morning for years and are a very popular duo in Britain. And they’re very funny. This was meant to be silliness.

Yes, I ‘know that’. There’s ‘winged’ and then there’s ‘exaggerated to make your eyes look slanted’. She has done the latter.

Totally me. I had a baby brother 10 years younger - little old ladies used to ask if ‘he was my first child’ when I took him for walks!

I am so incredibly grateful that I grew up before the social media explosion. The only big worries I had were that my face would be cleared up enough on picture day that there were no really noticeable zits for my photo, and that the worst of the bullies would ignore me.

I feel you. My son expressed many of the behaviours of an adolescent when he was in kindergarten and early elementary school. He even fell in love and had his heart broken - and I am not exaggerating. Thankfully, this made his teenage years much more manageable as this seemed to relieve much of the teen angst that…

TL:DR She totally slanted her eyeliner

Actually, she has slanted her eyeliner at the ends. Totally obvious.

Yeah, I am honestly torn about this. I totally get cosplay and if she had ever expressed an interest in her music before about anything to do with gaming, I’d give her a pass on this, but actually no. I’m getting gimmick, and to me, gimmick equals appropriation.

I didn’t know Ron Hayter was her dad. Cool.

I thought these names were made up until I saw Sparkle Hayter. She’s an excellent writer and I have two of her books on my shelves right now. Go, Sparkle!

I’m so sorry for your loss :(

Besides the actual victims and their families, he is the person my thoughts have turned to most. I have so much sympathy for what he must be going through. To be publicly and nationally blamed for an incident over which he not only had no control, but in which he actually behaved rationally. My heart goes out to him…

Warm, flaky egg tarts. It’s what they eat in heaven. Yum.

While I’m not offering an argument one way or the other about ‘nothing’ being done to find the (without argument) hundreds, if not thousands, of missing Native American and Indigenous women in North America, I just want to make note of a story on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. website today. After three attempts over…

It was at that moment I knew that this kid was going to own any alt-right asshole who tried to take him on.

Can I just say - your screen name is everything.

I think it comes as a result of an advisorial legal system. The police are trained to find the crime, so to speak. It this case, I think this was a case of the police not believing the unlikelihood of the set of facts before them in this accidental death, and therefore believing that ‘someone’, ie the younger,…

Frazier v. Cupp, 394 U.S. 731 (1969)

Yeah, I got it

Whatever the verbiage of the charge, she was still convinced (and I stand by my words) that it was in her best interest not to go to trial and risk the longer sentence. She knew and maintained her innocence - she was facing the full force of a legal system bent on convicting her, contrary to the evidence. Given that…
