As a child of parents who do not have curly hair, and who had to figure this all out on my own, let me first commend you for even thinking about it! My mom's solution for a long time was to put my hair in French braids all the time - pretty time consuming!

TBH it's still a joy to watch.
Thanks for sharing! Your note about a thing that peeks in through the cracks + living near a graveyard caught my attention because - when I was probably 6 or 7, we stayed with good family friends in their house in Delaware, which was directly across the street from a graveyard.
Hah! I love it.
I think you are correct in pointing out that the show is not misandrist. Male characters are not marginalized to the point of disposability, or subjugated as only sexual objects. Both Art and Paul pose real threats to Sarah and her end goals - but not because of some stereotypical, shallow characterizations - rather…
Jammies were so glamorous back then!
What on earth is going on with that apple peeling job? What did that apple do to this lady's family to deserve that!?
Hah - it's called Ryan Murphy Syndrome :) I found this while googling "Ryan Murphy plot holes."
Yep - when I taught some undergraduate courses it was up to me to figure out how to weigh participation, but what I did (or attempted) was create a clear set of guidelines as to what participation meant: showing up to class prepared to discuss/interact with the topic (and I also had pretty clear expectations of…
It is truly advice for the ages.
Oh yeah, that was my favorite part when I was little too - probably b/c it was a 3d version of the beloved muppet babies TV show that I watched.
Listen. THIS is my favorite movie!
Now playing
— and maybe even a Tina Fey musical number or two?
Oh wow - that is so interesting that you call them that, too! That's exactly how they feel - like I"m in a moment and I'm thinking, "I remember this... oh, I remember it from a dream... and I've never been in this exact situation before... ok then." Or sometimes I'll even remember that I dreamed it b/c I'll wake up…
Yeah - very similar, I sometimes have those moments, too where I don't specifically remember the dream, but it just feels like one of those moments. But the way your mother and grandmother think about it is how I tend to think about it.. like it's an affirmation I was supposed to be here. I go through spurts where I…
Yes - I had to go search for it b/c it gave me the creeps!
Ah! I have the exact same thing - I call them "future memories" - little 2 or 3 minute instances of people I haven't met yet or places I haven't been. It's never something I could really use.. and mostly banal like you say, but on occasion it's about a person who is significant to me in some way (before I meet them or…
Closets. Attics. Basements.
I guess committing to 2 seconds of googling can solve all of our problems ;)
