Is it possible that Annie has a substance abuse problem of her own? I’m not excusing her behavior just looking for explanations. Maybe she was not in any shape to show up or lost track of time partying somewhere else. And was too ashamed to admit that to you, and apologize. Her emailing without mentioning missing your…

I adopted today. This is “to be determined.” His name from the rescue was Cirrus, but I’m not keeping that. He’s about 9 months.
If you read what I just read it was, “Hi, I’m white. How can I make this about me/my feelings?”

I left this episode feeling meh (moreso than usual) about the Queen of Dragons. She’ll help defeat the White Walkers when Jon Snow bends the knee? Jesus christ enough already. All the badass dragons in the world can’t save her from being a myopic idiot.
I’ve lost a local accent (brooklynese) due to globalization and an ancestral language (yiddish) due to forced assimilation. And none of that compares to what has happened to native peoples around the world. I’m mortified.
Agreed, aside from the unfair comparison because of the cultural history involved, comparing an ACCENT to an entire LANGUAGE is beyond apples to oranges.
I’d just like to note - because this story is important and some commenters seem confused - that it’s beyond appalling to compare white communities losing their accents because of globalization to the lingering effects of systematic cultural genocide that has marginalized and disempowered native communities for…
