Eh, we were doing these back in the ‘70s for my large Catholic family. Wedding planners for us were not a thing. It was, like others have said, a practice of the wedding, so people know where to stand, when to walk, who holds what when. A rehearsal, you might say. The dinner was just a nice little add-on.

Racism.

Look up Owen Ellickson’s tweets on that; they are hilarious.

My most recent trip to the Macy’s in Seattle was because I was having no luck finding a blazer in my size that I could reasonably afford at any other store (I don’t need a blazer for work, but had an important interview that I did need one for). I found two at Macy’s on sale -- that was the good news. But like others…

That photo with the prime ministers of NZ and Australia? The hand. The huuuuuuge hand, man. *smelling salts please*

He doesn’t get a fucking cookie for this.

I have zero interest in the book or the movie, so I went and found it. You can read the ending spoiler here (god is it stupid):

I also laughed for like a solid two minutes at “Oh, Vicki, they figured it out!” Something about ultra-good “Real Eleanor” having the actual name “Vicki” just killed me for some reason.

Jesus, I’m already 50. Come to my funeral?

Don’t worry; they’re already fucked.

We haven’t earned your trust. I will do my best to.

Exactly. I love my dogs I have now with all my heart, but I forged a really strong bond with the one I just lost, and I’ll miss that every day. But he lives in my heart.

I am so sorry. I told someone upthread about how we recently had to do the same with our 12-year-old mastiff. It was so similar: there was no one moment where I felt like he was really telling us it was time to go, which made it so much harder. Loved him so much and miss him so much. I truly believe that we will meet…

I’m so sorry about your dog. We had to do the same with our really special guy just after Thanksgiving. We are giing our remaining dog all the love we can and introduced a rescue dog recently which has helped restore her spirits, but we still miss him so much and still cry. He was just...special.

I am a complete dog nut, but movies with anthtropomorphized animals speaking with human voices just leave me cold. They just usually strike me as so dumb. So I already had no interest in seeing this.

Sydne Gray’s Twitter thread was hard to read as a white woman who tries to be intersectionalist but is also aware of her privilege and “not getting it.” I know we have a lot of work to do. I read a lot before the march about the anger from women of color being under-represented or not invited at first and/or listened…

And me!

I would boycott Gucci but ha ha ha, I’m one of those losers with no money.

Well, when he is impeached and/or goes to jail, they might (?) be worth something then?

I would really like to see the photos from some of those photo shoots. No, not THOSE -- I mean, did she do actual fashion, or is that just post-truth story?
