YOU MET JESSICA MITFORD ZOMG

I am a shameless Mitford junkie. I have read all the books by all the sisters and all the books about the sisters, including a very trashy one called Unity Mitford: A Quest. They never fail to astonish, horrify, and delight. Though I believe Debo (later the Duchess of Devonshire) is my favourite, I can’t help but…

I am absolutely obsessed with the Mitfords, especially Jessica (who I met and who complimented me on a review I wrote of one of her books and I almost DIIIEEEDD yes I’m bragging because it is the most awesome thing that ever happened to me). Her memoir, Hons and Rebels (sometimes published as Sisters and Rebels), is…

I’m fascinated by the Mitford sisters. You forgot to mention that Jessica Mitford was super close with Maya Angelou:

It’s Wall!

The Bangladeshi cricket team were in one of the mosques for prayer, but all have been confirmed to be safe.

The stories emerging are heart breaking -

I haven’t seen this anywhere else on Jez tonight - I know normally the blog ignores the Sourthern Hemisphere, except to get Australia’s capital wrong, but this is horrific...

That argument still applies two years later. There’s no magic line where someone becomes a good voter. 

We should inform him it's spelled BETO!

I would not be surprised if he though tweeting VETO! in all caps actually, you know, counted as a veto.

Today, Leo Varadkar, Taoiseach of the Republic of Ireland, and his partner Matt Barrett went to a breakfast meeting with Mike Pence. The PM then said:

I can hear the Fox News "she did nude scenes" brigade coming. 

Counterpoint: any time you have a chance to date Rosario Dawson, you fucking take it. It's more important than getting to be president.

Keep in mind that for every Emma Gonzalez, there’s probably 10 Nick Sandmanns. I really don’t see it working out.

It honestly isn’t. Maybe 20+ years ago, when kids were real fucking dumb (myself included), but 16yo nowadays are fucking connected, informed, and still empathetic (unlike us jaded old fucks).

So after voting to rule out No Deal (though not legally binding) yesterday and now voting to approve an extension to Article 50, Parliament is now set to go back to voting on Maybot’s deal for a third time next week. The exact same deal that’s lost twice already, just to remind you, because fuck logic.

Oddly enough, she would be 100% in the right to think that. Girl couldn't even be bothered to fill out her own damn college applications. At that point, her parents should have said, "Okay go take selfies and bartend in Europe for awhile."

I imagine her saying “OMG mom!!!! I’m literally going to die right now over this! How could you ruin my life?!? I never even wanted to go to college!!!”

Every night parents sit down with their kids and work through tears and frustration, or just plain boredom, to constantly try to improve the future situations of our children. This awful handwriting says nothing negative to me about the person who penned it. It says fucking loads about the kind of parent who has this…
