I’ve been reviewing my lipstick collection on Instagram. It’s my quarantine hobby. I’m as dismal at being a make-up influencer as I am at sewing masks, and still I rise / boats against the current / no wizard that there is or was.

Yes, we read it in 10th grade.

I have four. It’s a good buy.

Meeeeeeee. I wear bralettes with my substantial rack and it has changed my life. I hate underwires. They’re uncomfortable. They break. I have gone to all the fancy bra shops for all the special bras and have never found an underwire that fits in the right place and doesn’t create shelf boob or a pointy boob. All I

Eh, Bad Blood is the worst song she’s ever done—I think the only reason it made the album is because she needed a controversy.

I do not remember this, but it looks hot and there are horses involved and so I want it for myself.

I was just reading today about non-spousal “First Ladies.” They were quite common in the 1800s and were called White House hostesses. They were usually family members of the sitting president (sisters, daughters, nieces, daughters-in-law). But since Michelle is entitled to Secret Service protection for the rest of her

Another fun approach is to look for books that revolve around your hobbies or career. There’s a romance sub-genre for everything.

Beverly is great! She was also just on my podcast.

“Dog is also probably wondering, though, why CNN is so hell-bent on re-traumatizing him?”

I really love Mozart in the Jungle. Between it, Transparent, and Alpha House, I am happy to keep paying my Amazon Prime subscription. I am not 100% certain it deserved the win, but I am glad it got some recognition because I don’t see it talked about much and hopefully this will help keep it in production.

A little. The Diana movie felt too soon, tbh. But I do appreciate the opportunity for the subjects to react, though in this case I doubt they will.

I hope they hired a black woman as well. It seems a little fucked up to hire white women and a black dude to model women’s clothes. Or is he identifying as genderqueer and I missed that? BC I thought he was just queer in a “well, you’re an odd little duck, aren’t you?” way.

It looks like the gif-maker isn’t following Gwen but is following Miranda? So much for the liberal media. Following Miranda but not Gwen is clear red state bias. It’s an outrage, I say. An outrage!

I used to have nightmares about falling off the Mackinac Bridge. And space aliens.

Yup. You can’t *actually* know a person just by looking at them, but it doesn’t stop us from making judgments based on a person’s appearance.

I am uncomfortable whenever I try to decide which of the two I believe, because I think there is a clear socioeconomic class difference between the two women in their appearance. Regardless of the truth of their upbringing, Wilkinson has always telegraphed “poor and working class” to me, where Madison seems like she

She’s on Togetherness on HBO and is divine. Just one season so far! You can catch up quick.

I was going to say something snarky. Then I looked down and realizing I’m wearing black, blue, and gray today. Am I a cultural cliche now?

I re-watched it recently and didn’t hate it as much since I already knew it was not going to be anything like the book. But of the heart-breakingly bad renditions of YA books which Anne Hathaway has been a part of, I agree: Ella Enchanted was far and away more egregious. Though I can’t imagine why we’re blaming Anne
