Prince was doing this for years. I saw him in 2015 and people were escorted out for taking pictures. I get wanting to get a few pictures— I usually do at most shows— but I hate when people are holding their phones up the majority of the time, taking video and immediately posting and stuff like that.  

And don’t forget Tony’s “prima notca” rape joke! A lot of this movie was a good reminder to me of how poorly Whedon’s work has held up for me. 

Does Bran just sit around waiting for people to walk by?

Ugh, I used to pass him a lot cutting through Farragut Square on my way to work. I always gave him the stink eye. Fucking goblin.

I went to Target the other day and the women’s clothing section was straight out of Delia’s— and I AM HERE FOR IT. My mom wouldn’t let me buy most of the late 90s fashion I wanted the first time around, so I fully intend to make up for lost time.

EXACTLY. I was on a work trip last month when my uncle died. When I explained this to my boss, she expressed her sympathies, and asked me if I would like a hug. I declined, and she was cool with it. And honestly, the fact that she asked first touched me so fucking deeply I almost started crying (again) then and there.

When I was in my early 20s, I got a crappy job at a law firm because my friend’s sister was the office manager there. One of the senior partners was a touchy guy, and one night I was working late, and he came up behind me while I was standing at the copy machine and started rubbing my shoulders. I was so uncomfortable…

He should regret falling in love with Tim Burton more. 

Harford County is trash. It’s where white Marylanders go when Baltimore County isn’t racist enough for them, and they don’t want to move all the way out to Western Maryland, or across the Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore. 

Someone made a list like this about girls in my high school, and then literally posted it around town and in the school (it was the late 90s), and no one ever got in trouble for it. As far as I can tell, the school didn’t even try to figure out who it was, and took the super brave stance of pretending it never…

Thor plus Rocket was my favorite “odd couple” of the movie. I would be 100% behind replacing Quill with Thor on one condition: we also add, Valkyrie, Guardian of the Galaxy!

I’ve seen some articles that were written in the wake of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain’s deaths popping up again, and they make some really good points about why we should change the way we talk about suicide, and how to do it. 

Good point. Must be that Big Mohawk Energy that attracted Gaga. 

Classic Hawkeye, punching way above his weight class. 

And the lost tsarina Anastasia! 

And a hearty “fuck you” to the Economist for this now-deleted Tweet:

As someone who has worked in nonprofits my entire adult life, and runs a cancer charity with my family, I AM PISSED that this scam is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt nonprofit.

I didn’t know my SSN from memory until I started the college application process. When I passed my driver’s test, I finished everything, got to the front of the line, then they asked for my SSN for the paperwork and I looked like a deer in the headlights. I had to go home and get the card, then come back with it.

I know a handful of DC hardcore scene oldheads who, now that they’re in their 50s, are playing jazz and bluegrass and that kind of stuff. They start exploring all sorts of weird new hobbies-- I have a friend who got into knife-making for awhile. He also makes sure to get in a humblebrag or two when he gets a text from…

I learned that this morning, and now I have even more questions about this stupid scheme.
