I hope she at least has a decent relationship with her soon-to-be father-in-law. When I got married, my mom walked me down the aisle. My dad is dead, and at first she didn’t want to do it— she wanted me to be traditional and have a male relative walk me. But I thought that was dumb, I felt like my mom being there…

I went to one where it was the best man’s ex in neon pink. She managed to get herself into A LOT of pictures, too.  

As far as I can tell, couples still invite big groups to destination weddings, but don’t expect most of them to come. It’s a way to cut down the guest list while still getting a buttload of presents.

Even when women outnumber men in school or a profession, men are still disproportionately hold positions of power. I work with ob-gyns, and not surprisingly, women far outnumber men. But men are still frequently in charge of the women’s health program in medical schools or at hospitals.

For some reason, the fact that the Mashable video captions him as “Steven Rogers/Captain America” has me laughing harder than any of his drunk interviews. Like, has anyone, in comics or the MCU, ever called Cap Steven?

Last time I saw the Thermals live was in 2016, the ten-year anniversary of TBTBTM, and they played the album in its entirety. I’m bummed I won’t get the chance to see them again, but I feel lucky to have the experience of yelling along with a sold-out crowd to every lyric of that album.

I heard an NPR segment on the rally yesterday. They talked to a guy who had been there all day who said all he wanted in congressional candidates was “unconditional support” for Trump’s policies. “I don’t want anyone with ideas, we already have enough of those.”

I recommend this article, about another town in West Virginia, Wardensville. There are a lot of factors that separate these two towns— the Lost River Valley is close enough to the DC area for weekend trips/homes, for one. But reading about Parkersburg made me think of this.

I’m in the Mid-Atlantic and I never used to have allergies, but the last couple years I’ve been getting a little bit of the itchy eyes and sneezing. And then this spring happened and I am MISERABLE. Spring always used to be my favorite time of year, but now I can’t even roll my windows down in the car because I’ll get…

There’s no proof of any kind that I take too much alcohol.

Maybe overly pedantic on my part, but the victim wasn’t a student at Stanford. From the letter she read in court, Emily Doe indicated she was out of college, and was only there because she was attending a party on campus with her younger sister.

Neither Californian nor a lawyer, but he based his sentence on the recommendation of the probation officer, who was the one worried about the “severe impact” prison might have on a young rapist.

Yeah I mean, Black Panther and Spider-Man and the Guardians all have confirmed sequels, so I’d say it’s a pretty safe bet that in classic comic book style, a good number of the deaths in this movie aren’t going to stick.

In the years since Parks and Rec left the air, I’ve had to make peace with the fact that it’s Andy Dwyer I love, not Chris Pratt.

Still not as bad as his hair in the first Avengers movie. That flip— WHY???

Please note, I don’t mean this in any kind of negative way because I fucking ADORE Janelle Monae, but that image at the top is giving me serious Prince John vibes.

We have at least some idea of what he wanted to do to Inara. This is from an io9 article after the ten-year anniversary special on Firefly:
