I don’t think that’s necessarily a millenial thing, especially since so many of us are in our late 20's and early 30's now. Thinking you’ll get a great job in your field right off the bat is just standard-issue cluelessness. Pretty much every person I knew in college ended up working outside of their dream field or…

That’s so true, and so important.

I just watched Paddington last week with my nephews and I was surprised by how charming it was.

I hate these films so much. SO MUCH.

That’s one of my go-to meals: sweet potato oven home fries, maybe some roasted Brussels sprouts, and topped with two poached eggs.

What up, Mme. Defarges?

That was a big reason I got interested in art and history as a child—my father moved to DC after my parents divorced, and on the weekends my sister and I were with him, he would take us to the Smithsonian museums for entertainment (because it was free)—it was the thing that taught me that I loved Dutch still lifes,…

I’m with you. I’m a student right now, and being based in DC, the National Gallery of Art and the Smithsonian museums are a huge part of my entertainment. Especially as someone who struggles with depression and getting out of my apartment, knowing I can always go out and see a new exhibit really helps with my…

SO TERRIFYING. I think it was because he was so contradictory: on the one hand, you have a man who wrote soppy poetry and supported abolition, openly promoting a former slave and using his real West African name (!); on the other, you have...everything else.

*perks up, waves*

Well, as soon as I can afford it, then. Once I graduate and start working.

Bless you for this. I’m 27, and found my first grey hair last week, and it actually surprised me how shaken I felt, even though I’ve always looked forward to being older (the dream: 45 years old and being glamorous enough to take a solo vacation on the Orient Express).

I agree. Elizabeth, for all her conventionality, is grounded in a sense of herself and her purpose that Margaret lacks (possibly because of her status as Princess, but I think also just innate to her personality). It gives her the ability to be more effective in ways Margaret can’t be because she finds them boring. We…

They are seriously dull. I think Elizabeth had it right when she pointed out, quite kindly, to Margaret that she’s full of shit. She thinks she’s being rebellious and free, and really she has chosen the exact same dress as everyone else with slightly different trimmings.

I’ll make offerings to that non-god. Offerings of sherry and homemade scones.

Ugh, jeez. I’m so sorry that happened to you.

What up, fellow Black person with a name other people have issues with! My name is super-British, as is my sister’s: think Rosamund and Agnes. I get a lot of “I didn’t know you were Black!” and it’s a whole Thing but my mom just read a lot of Victorian novels in her early 20s; what are you gonna do?

I hope it’s not BJ. He’s always seemed like such a pretentious asshole, and she deserves to be treated well by a partner.

So, she chose a name that she likes so you’ve decided that means she doesn’t respect her background and culture?

See, I was thinking superhero alter ego, because of the alliteration, which still makes it a really good choice.
