Yes but it’s still in KS.  As someone who has also lived in “College towns” in the midwest (I’m from Indiana), you can’t deny that the red bleeds in.  They are not safe in the way that college towns are in liberal states.  I think there is nuance in how awful they are, but it doesn’t stop it from being an unsafe place…

Old Scrooge Graham “if they would rather die… they had better do it and decrease the surplus population”

All this interview does is highlight the ego and the lack of any type of self-awareness. Imagine being so entitled that you leave clues of your affair on television and then go and tell THIS story like it redeems you and think anyone wants to hear it? Oooooooof, this is why I come back to Bravo! They won’t fire this…

A YOUTH MINISTER?!!! COLOR ME SO SO SHOCKED /sarcasm.  Jesus when will people get that being a youth pastor is basically a calling card for creeps. 

She’s a school counselor - it’s likely she’s in a union, which would require termination for cause. Way more likely than a discrimination claim. 

Employers can fire someone for a lot of discriminatory reasons - they just can’t be a protected reason (ie you can discriminate against someone for having tattoos - that’s totally legal, but you can’t discriminate against someone who has Tourette’s because that’s a protected class of individuals). This isn’t a…

The school counselor is likely a part of the teacher’s union and her employment would not be at-will.  I’d bet her union is already challenging the termination as an unfair labor practice. 

Oh Rinna - a reality show just about you? NO ONE wants that. 

These new cast members are truly bringing me back to this franchise.  The Joe/Theresa/Melissa of it all has gone stale.  The evergreen topic is now like a puke green - done with it.  Give me more of these new gals.  I dig the vibe! 

What I came here to say - really enjoyed the way that Audiobook was structured and produced. 

I’m pansexual so I’ve got a few:

But have you seen the latest? She’s back with the Spanish accent!  What a nightmare. 

Right?! I immediately went to that idiot - her with her “easy pregnancies” and excessive baby accumulation. I’d imagine a pregnant person (honestly any person) would need to stay far far away from that toxic bullshit during a difficult pregnancy.

For what it’s worth, Judy’s non-YA books are also pretty great.  

In previews they were saying it was bad - I feel sorry for her too.  They set her up for failure.  So you’re not Fanny Brice, doesn’t mean she couldn’t have starred elsewhere in a different role.  Now she’s probably scarred forever because someone miscast her - not like she went begging for the role!

I worry that the language won’t be the same since Elmore Leonard isn’t involved.  I know his son was there in the late seasons of Justified, but his words were SO KEY.  Here’s hoping. 

My mom was super pissed and talked to the school board, and a friend who was the editor of the student paper wanted to do a sex ed edition where they passed out condoms and they laughed her out of the board meeting - and said “Kids at Monroe Central are abstinent”. The man who said this knocked up his wife when they…

Selma is very nearby!  So yes, wouldn’t be surprised. 

Rural Indiana near Muncie ... east/central. 

She was great, but Stephanie Tsu deserves the nom from EEAAO if anyone gets one.
