With an icon like that you're not allowed to have a terrible evening. :( the world needs to get its act together.

Thank you! It was a legitimate question, because it doesn't mean that over here so to my American ears (eyes?) it seems like the kind of name a show would pick to remind the audience that she's a lady who digs other ladies. A lot of shows and movies have a habit of giving lesbians masculine names.

I feel like Suicide Squad is way more watchable than Batman v Superman. But I also literally turned away from the screen and worked on something else every time Jared Leto popped up, and I couldn't tell you what happened in the second half of the movie. Something something explosions something something Will Smith was…

And her name hadn't been Bill. Is that a British thing or a way to constantly remind everyone she's gay?

But have you seen barracudas.

Imagine, if you will, an announcer you can barely understand. He refers to a [mumbles] but you're not quite sure what he said. [mouth full] He seems to be eating something [normal] or perhaps he's a little drunk. It's remotely possible that he just said something about… The Scary Door.

Okay but the Netflix special is kind of great.

Totally agreed. It would help solve a lot of issues if we just looked at mental illnesses the same way we looked at things like cancer or something.

Right? Like I'm all for character development, but it would be nice if the girl's character development wasn't literally dying.

That's the one.

I feel like Idina Menzel would've been fine either way, but then I would have had to sit through 5 more renditions of that song from Trolls (I'm too lazy to google) in the elementary school talent show instead of Let It Go and I much prefer the latter.

Not at all, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't coming the wrong way either, because I completely agree. I think, too, that teens are hugely susceptible to that myth because they have so many amplified feelings floating around and so much less impulse control than (some) adults that while I think it's important to…

Oh I don't disagree. I'm not saying it's impossibly hard, just that I think the author wanted to do that, tried to do it, and failed, as authors do sometimes. I totally agree with that, though.

To be fair, when I read the book I didn't get the impression that it glamorized suicide. I think it was doing it's best to show it as something that could have been preventable (which I also have some mixed feelings about— I'm obviously not pro-bullying, but I think laying responsibility for anyone's suicide solely at…

SAME THANK YOU. I thought the book was fine in terms of style and plot structure and everything, and I finished it (which I've definitely read way worse books I never finished) but there is something really gross about it all being for Clay's development as a person. Like, hey it's ok this girl had to die because look…

I don't know if it really matters much. The book is short, if it helps, but I also feel like it would bring different things to the table than the show does (I haven't seen the show but I have read the book). I know a lot of people love the book, and if you're someone who doesn't like 'spoilers' maybe read first and…

I feel like that might just be a Krispy Kreme thing. When they got one in my hometown, it was a huge event but less than a month later no one was going there and now I think people only pick up their donuts if everything else is closed.

They are SO sweet. They're so sweet that when we've brought them in for high schoolers before they'll split the donuts. High schoolers getting over-sugared by anything is almost unheard of.

I felt that way about hulu until i paid the extra for ad free and now I use it maybe more than anything else.

Is it a rumor if it's a well-known truth, though?
