That is such a good description! And yes...every single indie women musician from the past 15 years at this point has that same voice. 

I’m happy she pointed out that for a while everyone said she was TOO gay...when I first read about this I was genuinely baffled because I remember her reputation as a gay woman was really a big deal when she first came on the scene. Now Twitter is saying she isn’t gay enough. Who can keep up? 

I’m OBSESSED with Watch What Crappens. The first time I listened to one of their episodes, I laughed so hard that tears were streaming down my face. I cannot wait for Real Housewives of Dallas to start this week, mostly because I live for their impressions!!!!

I am HERE for this. 

Yeah, I was madly in love with my college boyfriend and our breakup made us lose both our minds. For a while I couldn’t even think about him with other people, it hurt too much. Fast forward three years and one of my close friends hooks up with him, tells me about it, and we have a good laugh over the anecdote. Its…

I thought this had been the stance ALL ALONG since Catholics are constantly preaching “life is sacred” when women want to have abortions.

I will continue reading books consistently, I will keep attending my book club (which I LOVE), I will keep doing barre classes, and I will try a new recipe each week. 

“My guess is that the flight attendant guessed that the two men were friends, and not a couple (heteronormative bias), and thus prioritized the straight couple. But I don’t know.”

Yeah, I am always fascinated how the comments about Kardashian revert to “she is a successful business woman is therefore the pinnacle of feminism.” Like what? 

I recently saw Megan Abbott (another phenomenal crime writer) at a book signing for her latest novel and she mentioned Knoll as one of her favorite contemporary writers, and she said that Knoll is so polished and sophisticated but writes some of the darkest and most violent stories, which is so true! I cannot wait to…

What the fuck?!?!?! That gives me so much anxiety. I grew up with parents who had separate bedrooms because they slept better that way (strong 30 year marriage) and who have separate hobbies and friends. I just cannot fathom that level of attachment. To each their own I guess.

I think when kids are involved its obviously different, though. I wouldn’t deny a mother to sit next to her young child. My main pet peeve is your average adult couple that NEED to sit together. I just don’t get it. 

“ IMO, the only instances when it’s okay to ask passengers to move so that two people can sit together is if there’s a legitimate need (not preference!), like with parents and a young child or if there’s some health issue/disability that will mean that one passenger needs help from their companion.”

Yeah, I mean, if people ask me to switch I will consider if its within the same few rows. Before I fly I literally have to tell myself not to be a bitch. But one time I was seated on my flight, and a couple sat behind me - we were in the back of the plane. A girl walked up and said to the guy, “sorry, you’re in my…

Maybe I’m a heartless bitch but I don’t understand why couples freak out about sitting next to each other. When my boyfriend and I fly, we get to our seats, immediately put on headphones, and close our eyes. I don’t need to be next to him, I spend plenty of time with him in day to day life.

I had a very similar experience. When I started online dating I specifically wanted a relationship, not hook-ups, and I put a lot of work into keeping up on my apps. As a result I didn’t have problems getting dates with nice, normal men, and a few weeks in I met my now-boyfriend, and am so far in my healthiest…

I still maintain that a lot of it depends on your city. I had a great experience on dating apps. *shrugs* 

I feel like this social media freakout is the first step in the massive and destructive unraveling of their coupledom. 

This honestly sounds like a dystopian nightmare and I think I would rather die than ever participate. 

Yep! It made me feel bad which is weird because like...living on your own and taking care of yourself is nothing to feel bad about! It also made me feel bad about being single, which was such an unpleasant feeling! I started to read them again after this one made the Internet rounds, but stopped pretty quickly.
