$150?! Jesus Alaska charges $25 if it’s a direct flight and $50 with connections.

Yeah my stepson flies alone a lot, because he travels between our house in Seattle and his mom’s in Wyoming. He’s almost 16 but I still pay for unaccompanied minor service (it’s optional on Alaska after, I think, 14?) He’s on the autism spectrum and he’d have a lot of trouble speaking up if someone was touching him…

Yes, exactly! They’re all in their own little homes, filing as single parents with no income, and reaping a shitload of benefits. They also call it “lying for the Lord”.

My strategy for marrying Idris Elba is to get Ian McKellen for my husband. That’ll keep him busy.

I remember seeing these Twilight-esque recovers in the Young Adult section of Borders (when Twilight was big and Borders still existed):

I am going to eat ALL OF THAT

please to link because idfc if my family groans, I’m making it anyway.

My family will totally drink spicy V8 juice but they turn up their noses at gazpacho. Go figure.

Look, I’m bisexual and all, but I need to know what I have to do to date Tom Hiddleston, not Taylor Swift.

I got lucky with my neighbors, and I live in super-suburbia so I’d say you’ve got a better chance! The couple across the street still have much-younger kids, but they were delighted that a babysitting-age kid moved in so we’ve become buddies. They drastically overpay my daughter to babysit and I bring them beer on…

Yeah, I had my kids 10 years before all my friends did. I was a mom at 24 and they all waited until their 30's. So here’s me with my almost-19-year-old and my friends’ kids are 10 or under.

They dropped this “rehearsal” video before the Tonys:

Honestly, I was rooting for that marriage. He was the only person to treat her like a human being.

haha I know Holden is supposed to be the lead, but he is the LEAST interesting character in the whole thing. I think it’s funny, kind of subtly subverting the trope by putting the Cute White Guy in charge and then having literally everyone else be smarter and more competent than him.

I read the first book afterward, and Season One ends about halfway through the first book, which is why it was such a cliffhanger.

I watched it before I read the books, but I totally binge-read the first four after watching. I needed to know what happened!

It’s hit or miss for kids, depending on their age and what they’re into. I took my nieces (7&9) when they had a Looney Tunes exhibit and they were ALL OVER that. My stepson (15) can’t be pried out of the Indie Video Game exhibit.

The whole thing is SO GODDAMN SHINY. EMP is totally my life though. I love that place to death.

See I was gonna say the EMP’s pink wall. I am at the Seattle Center a lot and people are always taking pictures on this side.

My daughter’s was “Master of Disguise”. I mean, there’s Brent Spiner in it at least, but STILL.
