The royal family does fly commercial. And I think, somewhat frequently, coach. Especially the younger members. I think people were freaking out somewhat recently that Kate took a commercial flight to an appearance in the Netherlands.

I’m in NYC. How they ever thought this would be a lucrative business here is a head-scratcher to me - the math just never added up.

I saw her speak at BAM with Tina Fey earlier this week. Nearly cried. She cursed like a real person and everything! A guy asked her what she does when she fucks up, and her answer was “I never fuck up,” delivered in perfect deadpan. And then she told him that she just orders everyone pizza.

Er, yes, they do. Speaking as someone whose family is either brown or mixed race and mostly based in London, there are definitely people there who are blatantly racist and not afraid to show it. And there are definitely people who are going to get weird that a mixed person could marry into a family that is pretty…

I think that it will be a big deal for some people. Western Europe is still a pretty scary place to be in terms of racism, and she is going to have a lot of shit flung at her if they go public.

If you can swing it, get a wedding planner. If that’s not possible, my advice is do not just rent a raw space that you then have to bring everything into (and likely get licenses and insurance for), because that will require a ton of coordinating on your part. Try to find a venue with a dedicated event person,…

My friend is a therapist, and she says that people have been coming in to see her with horrible anxiety because of the election.

I know! They struck a very good balance of having that sad part in there, to acknowledge what happened, but also the hilarious giant portrait - because for all of her obsession with etiquette and keeping up appearances, that is a ridiculous thing that Emily 100% would have done.

Me too! I almost cried at my desk. I’ve been worried that this was going to be terrible, but everything in the trailer looks so great.

Disagree. I think that Gilmore Girls has a very good reason for coming back, because of the awful last season and the fact that they did not know, when filming it, that the last episode was actually going to be the last. Lorelai is annoying, sure, but she’s supposed to be - the character is flawed and actually not the…

If he did that to Taylor Fucking Swift, he’s done it to many other women who were easier targets with less resources. I hope that T wins her case, both for herself and for whoever else he has assaulted.

That is so awesome.

I experienced the same thing with my grandfather recently. It’s devastating and horrible. The only comfort is that I know he did not suffer for long - it was quick, and he was not a person who would have accepted extended hospital visits and dependency on medicine regimens or machinery. And I had a difficult breakup a…

Yes. There is an innocence around the Anne books that I find really lovely. It always felt like Montgomery was writing a bit of an ideal life for herself - not perfect or without hard times, but with an uncompromisingly happy main character whose strength comes from always seeing the glass half full. Life may have…

We’re off-book. We’re the essence of the book, we have the heart and soul of the book, we have our iconic moments that everyone can’t wait for, and we’re telling a new story.

Sounds...squishy.

I think that she was groomed at a very young age to be his loyal little subject. She’s never really escaped him. She went to his school and then she went straight to work for him.

LOL at the fact that he managed to work his daughters in there. No “I deeply regret what I said” or “I have come to realize the error in my ways” or “I hope to be a better example in the future, as a male public figure.” Nope, because he had conversations with his daughters, that’s all we’re supposed to need. We’re…

I showed up at a PP a few years ago, in college (one with a horrible student health center), crying because I had found a lump in my breast. The wonderful nurse talked me down, gave me a ton of information about lady health that I still mentally reference today, and a doctor assisted in getting me set up to get…

Hi! I’m around your age and have fibroids in my breasts. It scared the everloving shit out of me when I first found the lumps, but it ended up being fine and is way more common than you might think.
