all parents (including my parents, their parents, etc. and my peers who are now parents) are miserable human beings, gluttons for punishment and looking for martydom/sainthood. i don’t need a TV show to prove that to me, it’s real life.

Yep. I know one happy parent. The rest seem miserable.

Bey: Bette I want to be like you. I want all your secrets.

They both look like their attention is elsewhere and they’re just waiting, not very patiently and not even a little bit comfortably, for the picture-taking to be over.

Bey’s face looks like she wants to punch someone who is not in the frame of the pic.

Are there going to be any guys that don’t have huge, rippling muscles? Good for them for taking care of themselves, but I generally enjoy the scrawny variety myself. And I’m sure there are plenty of patrons who would appreciate some thicker boys as well. If it’s about body positivity, then there should be more than…

Something about this seems fishy...

Sure, but having a baby when you’re older is freaking rough. Granted I was almost 40...that shit made me tired.

Props. I’m eight years younger, childless, and was just earlier today thinking about how I’m bummed the chance didn’t present itself earlier, but I’d rather eat my own head than start a family now.

So many questions. How will this work if she is ever to get married again? Or is she even allowed to? Is she allowed to love. Is she allowed to be sexual, or is this arranged? Is she allowed to invest in family members business or pay for their bills?

I have a law degree and I still can’t wrap my head around how her conservatorship was ever legal.

I had a similar thought- this makes her sound like an animal. How weird and sad.

I am afraid that you are right. Ted Cruz seems like someone with a mean streak.

She wins for this outfit no doubt. Lucite heels!

In the end, between JayZ and Beyonce, who are fine and whatever, as it’s their business, my favorite person remains Solange. She just seems really amazing.

I worry about her a lot. A kid doesn’t run away from her father like that for no reason. Once, okay, she’s grumpy. But twice....That is a bad sign.

Omg, why are we even talking about this? The whole thing was clearly a marketing ploy so they could make more money off people. I mean, the album was released on Tidal. Why in the hell would that fly if they really had mega problems? It wouldn’t. No one cares. Can we please move on?

The last time this wonderful video will be relevant and I’m so grateful. The look on the girls’ faces (at 2:12) in this video is everything magical. Bye Teddy. You won’t be missed.

Caroline has the distinct look of a child who has just been crying in at least half these pictures. A campaign is no place for a kid/anybody who needs predictable schedules, occasional quiet time, a decent amount of sleep, and somewhat healthful food presented at regular intervals.
