Yea I didn’t like that. I didn’t like that at all. Just get Dax Shepherd or Kristen bell to do that shit, like everyone else.

literally last night I joked about forcing comcast to listen to nickleback if they didn’t FIX OUR SHIT. Luckily, it did not come to that. Friendly fire is always possible in those situations.

Yup.  Patriotism now = Pro Russian dictator because they helped keep the white man in power. We are a country built on white supremacy and ethnic cleansing. Those are our roots, so no wonder our core is rotting.

Just sobbed after watching the video online “Aleppo is a place where the children have stopped crying.” Won’t post link, but you can look up if you can stomach it. Gut churning footage of shell shocked toddlers, and brother holding dead sibling....excruciating. We have failed them.

Thank you! Will check her out. Historical fiction was sort of my first love. I trailed off with other genres for a while but now I’m coming back to it. It’s sort of my comfort food right now.

Thank you! I have not read those. I started red tent a while ago and have been meaning to get back to it..maybe now’s the season. Shutting down for winter hibernation in 3..2..

My dad calls it “twinkies for the mind”. We need that shit! Good luck.

Absolutely. I think we’re just drawn to these funny little fuck ups because if we don’t laugh..we’ll just keep plumbing the depths of misery and my god it gets exhausting. <3 Patton

True story. I think perseverating over Trump’s *haha* minor fails is like taking a break from a dense textbook to read a stupid gossip mag. A little light junk food fare for the mind to keep it from exploding.

I would guess Suicide Squad, Ghostbusters, Bad Moms, or Florence Foster Jenkins? maybe? obvi not Meryl...

Some say it wasn’t engaging and I sort of see that...but I feel like it was one of those greater than the sum of…
