Wow. She looks like shit. (Today is not a day for taking the high road.) The angled jacket is doing her no favors - it looks really ill-fitting. And yikes, that hair.

Yes! I hope that she medals, and we see her on the Grand Prix circuit in the fall. There are far too few black and brown women in skating (speaking as a former half brown figure skater who always got frustrated with the suuuuper pale tights the skate shop near me sold).

Hell yeah, Jason Wu better write a thank you note. Michelle literally made his career when she wore his dress to all of the inauguration balls (it was a truly fantastic dress).

I hate to admit it, but their leotards are awesome. They hold everything in place with no underthings needed, don’t go sheer in flash photography (important), and make my boobs look good.

Everything about this movie has weirded me out, from this doll to the first images we saw, which really make the fact that “hey, she’s in love with an animal” way more impactful than the animated version did.

I wish we could have them forever, but I am deeply grateful that we had them for 8 years.

Sorry, but I grew up in a solidly red county. A very affluent, conservative county in NY. I got the “perspective” of those Trump voters when I was bullied for being brown and being from a mixed family. Those same people are the ones who are now writing hateful, racist posts all over Facebook. I should not have to…

For the mask?

It’s supposedly based on her personal diaries but yes, I agree, they’ve definitely taken artistic license here to make the story compelling and the character very likable.

Yeah, 9 PM on my local PBS!

I will be watching Victoria on Masterpiece instead. The 12 year-old in me that was obsessed with Elizabeth I and Victoria (yes, I was incredibly cool) is very excited.

Kanye styles her. The way they both talk about it has always creeped me out, because it feels very controlling. He turned her into his personal High Fashion Barbie.

Jeez, it’s not that bad. There are things you look out for, yes, and it definitely needs better maintenance/funding, but most of the stations and trains are fine.

I’m going to the NYC one. I thought about DC, but this is a new thing for me and it’ll be easier to navigate in the city I know best. Plus, unfortunately, I’m sure that we’ll have plenty of other opportunities to go down to the Capitol and protest in the coming months...

That is, unfortunately, correct.

If we learned anything from Bernie’s run, it’s that there is a massive need for the Democrats to do shit like this. Be willing to make bold statements that are risky.

Not Lena’s biggest fan, but endometriosis is no fucking joke. I appreciate the fact that she is very open about it, because the attitude of “just shut up and deal with it” when women have extremely heavy periods/awful cramps is still too prevalent.

Remember like 3 years ago when we were all like “Twitter is great and the future and it’s put news into the hands of the people.”

Yeah, definitely. She’s wearing less makeup and you can see her undereye circles a bit - I think it actually makes her look prettier. The genuine smile is nice too.

Ah, yes, a sign of the super Aryan race: crispy orange skin.
