YES! I bought tickets to see her in DC in July, and I CANNOT wait!

True—Chic was not an attractive guy. I’m kind of picturing something like the “fitness” and “wrestling” magazines that gay men in the 1950's had, sort of early Tom of Finland stuff.

I mean that she actively supported it. She wasn’t like the department chair at Emily’s university, who cooperated in an attempt to protect vulnerable people under his charge. She believed in it. She was fine with it, because she “deserved” her status for her faithfulness, that the world of Gilead and its punishments…

I would gladly watch a movie of Cheryl using the River Vixens as a vigilante squad. Just give me a Lifetime movie of this, universe!

I need a Riverdale Pinterest account, so that we can see the digital version of Ethel’s vision board. Other desired boards: Jughead’s Top 100 Films, Betty’s Favorite Detective Stories, Veronica’s Party Plans, Josie’s Music Inspirations, Cheryl’s Dream Gothic Real Estate, and Kevin’s Favorite Hot Guys.

I think it will depend on how fertile they turn out to be, although I’m not sure if that would involve some sort of testing. In the show, it’s clear that Handmaids are considered sluts, but these girls who are raised in Gilead and born of Handmaids—would the fertile ones be considered morally tainted by virtue of…

I believe it. If I weren’t on the verge of moving out of my current place, I would absolutely get one. Soon...

EXACTLY! You’re the real winner here!

And some Barkeeper’s Friend! My tub is fucking PRISTINE now that I use that stuff. Miracle worker.

Hi! I do the same thing! I live in a studio, and my tiny hot water heater (which is also low-key on its last legs because it is nearly my age) does not make enough hot water for me to fill even my not-large tub. I fill up my electric kettle when it’s bathtime; the seven cups of boiling water offset the…

They are also great for smaller children who are technically old enough to use the toilet by themselves but who realistically are gross little hellbeasts that would otherwise leave skidmarks all over their underpants.

Exactly. The Wife has been complicit in all of this: in the founding, in the rapes. All the Wives have been. I don’t think it’s right for those women to be considered victims, even if they were still subordinate to men. They were, in the words of Paul’s husband, collaborators. And even dying for hours, alone and in…

I have no idea, but I blanked on the third sister’s name and Karen starts with a K, so there we are!

I couldn’t remember the third one’s name! There’s Kim, there’s Khloe, there are the Jenner ones...and the last one’s name escapes me.

That was admittedly something I wondered about in the first season—you see a lot of the Wives doing needlework, especially knitting, but clothing production is tough work without written instructions. Certainly, women produced sewn and knitted garments without being able to read or write, but these women are the first…

I agree. KUWTK is admittedly my treadmill show (it is one of the rare things that makes me not want to die while running), and there was a really good episode a while back where the sisters were concerned about a controlling partner (Khloe’s? Karen’s? IDK), so they went to Planned Parenthood and had a lesson on…

Oh, teenage boys. They can be so lovely sometimes, but so often, it’s just one headdesk after another.

Yeah, I’m generally more a “praise in public, criticize in private” person with even my friendships (barring someone being, like, publicly bigoted, but I’ve also mostly cut those people out of my life by now).

That’s awfully rude, considering that they got their money from you in advance.

I mean, Domnhall Gleeson is a ginger, and I’d hit that on the daily.
