Right? I know they don’t run their own errands—it would be irresponsible to drag the Secret Service around Lowe’s just to pick up some spray paint—but I still love it. Here’s how version of the story continues: he says, “Sure Baby, let me grab my keys.” And then they wander around Lowe’s holding hands, getting

And even though I know that it was probably some aide who made sure that there would be teal pumpkins to signal to kids with allergies that there would be allergen-free candy, I still love that they’re there. I’m going to pretend that Michelle saw something about it on her Facebook newsfeed and called out, “Honey, we

Side-eyed scales of justice! It’s perfection, and yet, I’ve never noticed it until now. Well, I guess it makes sense, since shade is supposed to be subtle. I was just too dense to lean towards my friend and whisper, “Did she just?” and for her to whisper back, “SHE DID.”

Thanks for the advice. I’m not very interested in film, but I am very interested in history.

Do you recommend watching the movie? I’m torn between “it’s awful but important, so I should watch it” and “it’s awful but not all that important actually, so I shouldn’t watch it.”

... only Jane Eyre was written by Charlotte Bronte. Better luck next time!

Wow. I will never understand why people seem to love drama so much.

Did Jared run for the hills or did they go through with the wedding?

Poetry! Sheer poetry!

Maybe it’s the medium that makes it feel performative and insincere? I tend to roll my eyes at social media declarations of love (and I think the longer they are, the worse they are), and yet, I’m a sucker for love. I cry at weddings! I’ll sit and listen to the whole How We Met story! I’m not a cynical or nasty

Gee, I wonder why these women didn’t come forward sooner? I wish I could smack every single person who thinks that if you don’t report something immediately, then it didn’t happen or “wasn’t that bad.”

Exactly. Montgomery had a hard life, and I think she idealized things a bit in her books as an escape. Not to say that her books don’t have tragedy (death, dysfunctional families, bullying, etc), but the feel of the books overall is hopeful. Not that life is perfect, but that life, overall, is full of beauty if

Ah, how lucky for you that you only have one! I live in a red state, and though I have plenty of progressive friends, most of my relatives are “red hot Republicans.”

Her mom went in for an abortion and they used a procedure that isn’t used anymore. She was born alive but has suffered permanent damage to her health because of it. So, she really is an abortion survivor.

I feel so free now, ever since a friend told me that I could hide posts from certain sources. I knew I could hide people, but there are people that I care about that I also deeply disagree with. So, I was trying to decide if I should hide them entirely or not, or maybe just up until the election and then unhide them

It really is just a bit too obvious. Did you like the recent TV show? I didn’t care for it.

It’s been so long since I’ve seen Ghostbusters that I didn’t pick up on the reference! That makes more sense than a randomly gross name.

Most surreal moment of the week so far: discussing the Muppets with mother puss bucket.

I’m going to assume that you’ve never seen Muppets Treasure Island because if you had, you would know that it is a CLASSIC.
