Mireille Enos is freaking amazing in The Killing. The plot gets a little redundant but I kept watching it for her and Robocop’s back and forth. But you love her, you hate her, you realize she’s really good at her job but she’s still not a great person.

Are those blue loafer-slippers a “new” thing or a regular thing because I actually really want them

HAH that’s what I came here to say.

My husband only realized I was changing my name when we were filling out the forms for the marriage license. We hadn’t discussed it and he just assumed I was keeping mine. Which - it was my ex’s name, anyway, so no thanks.

I had some friends that combined theirs, but it only works for specific names. Jane Mango and Jim Steen can make Mr. & Mrs. Mangosteen just fine, but Allen Kozlowski and Muriel Heslop are not gonna have such an easy time.

oh man ESPECIALLY an ob/gyn. Be as clinical and professionally distant as possible, PLEASE. It’s uncomfortable enough already!

My cardiologist is like that. And he’s a lovely man and it’s meant to be comforting but it’s weird to me even though I like the guy. Stop patting me dude, I’ve been doing these tests since I was a toddler, I don’t need reassurance at 43.

EXACTLY. They think they’re going to “catch” someone who looks “wrong” and that they’ll know it when they see it. But the first time a cis person gets called out instead it’s going to be a huge national fucking tragedy to them. And it’s going to be worse for trans women because there’s all these “wrong” ways to be…

Actually, I now want to go to North Carolina, act “masculine” in the ladies’ room and then sue the state when I get arrested. I’m a cis woman, but I’m not terribly feminine and it would not be the first time someone’s thought I was a trans woman. I might as well use it for something.

If you love kids, do it. You won’t make jack shit though.

Yep. I taught school in Montecito, CA, the hyper-wealthy part of Santa Barbara. These parents were so insanely rich. Meanwhile I was taking an hour bus ride to and from the ass-end of Goleta every day.

oh my god, so much this.

My perfectly average heterosexual parents had: one bisexual kid, one hetero kid, one lesbian kid, and one transgender asexual.

Due to my unending crush on Jeff Goldblum, every word of this made perfect sense.

I was shopping the other day and I handled some item of clothing that had clearly been tried on by someone who was DOUSED in perfume. I couldn’t get it off my hands! Every time I moved I got a waft of this overpowering floral and it was GROSS.

I don’t even WEAR perfume and I’m tempted to buy a sample of this now.

I’ve only seen Belle but now I really want to watch it again.

Uh, yeah, I did read that actually. He had to answer the same questions everyone else who modifies their support has to answer: where’s your income from and how do you meet your expenses. You don’t have to wait for them to send you a form, you can just go do it.

Yeah I stared at that one for a while. I need some context. Why is she in a nightshirt in Qatar with a random kid???

It’s a control thing. And to be fair, my ex is a textbook sociopath so I wouldn’t extrapolate his behavior to anyone else. But yeah, he wouldn’t even let our daughter hyphenate her last name when I got remarried. Even if we kept his name first. So I’ve had to spend the last 10 years having schools call me by his last…
