It really is starting to look like the mob was just plausible deniability for an actual, planned, coup attempt. It makes it look like a spontaneous riot.. until you take note of how many people showed up prepared to do something a lot more specific than just break some windows and yell a lot.

The post was stupid and unnecessary yes but I’m sick of people calling her a “Karen” and “Trump supporter” when she is far from it. Anyone that actually bothers to do research will find that she has hated Trump since day one, and that she voted for Biden. 

The dad’s accent is about the thickest Irish accent I’ve ever heard. I got “Trump” and “aggro” out of his first couple of sentences, and not much else.

Wrong. Babies love boobs. There’s literally NO WAY a baby would unfollow her for posting drawings of boobs.

So there’s a pandemic going on, and they have a critically ill knowledgeable patient who can speak their language and tell them exactly what’s happening to her, and they don’t take advantage of that fact and listen to what she’s saying? There are three things that can account for that in this case: 1. racism, 2.…

Complex, huh? Intimidating, eh? Sounds like she...what?...didn’t know her place as a patient? This black woman physician was...angry...about the “care” she was receiving? Was her whole attitude...uppity...towards her attending doctor?

My partner and I were in Maui from February 23 to March 1 and we’ve been saying that same thing. 

Yeah I don’t understand this trend of people paying to get tattoos that look like they were done in prison with a sewing needle and a ball point pen.

It’s awful but seems at home on her hand, with all those terrible hand tattoos that are just going to blur worse and worse...

Yeah, the combo of an incredibly hard stone with an incredibly fragile pearl is both unwise and (in this case at least) unattractive.

My husband and I were under a year from first official date to wedding day (11 months). And we’re on year ten and doing just fine, even through the pandemic when we can’t get the hell away from each other. And I also had a previous whirlwind engagement that went nowhere, a la Pete Davidson, so I get that too!

I don’t love the ring choice. Diamonds get dulled easily and require frequent cleaning, which is at odds with the pearl’s delicacy. Plus, the offset diamond offends my preference for symmetry. 

If MDV gave you a hard time- which oh man, how could it not- then I would suggest avoiding Lolita like the plague. 

I really loved Writers and Lovers, but I haven’t figured out how to really explain it to others OR how to truly describe what I like about it!

Lolita is one of my favorite books. Longing, loneliness, deceit, revenge, loyalty...

I need the old person safety shower! Our shower is slippery death trap even with a bath mat and I have a permanent bruise on my leg to prove it.

Two bathrooms is a spoiling thing. We haven’t even used the shower in the other one yet. We had been functioning off of one bathroom and were like ‘this is fine!’ but really, two bathrooms is amazing.

My Dark Vanessa made my finally force myself to finish Lolita 

Reposting from my AVClub comment, but I wanna talk BOOKS!
