I enjoyed it. It’s not miraculous, but I probably read it 6 or 7 years ago and I still remember it, which says something, considering I read a ton...

I feel like Obama must kind of feel the way I feel when I try to get my kids to eat anything. “Okay guys, here. I know you like this. It’s bland, inoffensive, yet substantive and you have definitely eaten something like this before. Now chew and swallow. GODDAMNIT WHY ARE YOU SAYING NO!?!?! YOU’RE JUST TRYING TO BE…

It’s surprisingly good! I was not looking forward to reading it when my book club chose it, but I wound up digging it. I put it in the category “beach reading for smart people.” Not overly heady, but still intelligent and entertaining

I noticed shortly after posting! Should be fixed now!

Any time Laura Bush pops up in the media, I encourage people to check out American Wife. It gives one an interesting perspective on Laura (and Barbara). It’s fictional, but it’s obviously and unabashedly about the Bushes.

I was really, really, really hoping this was a “George Bluth Lesson” scenario, which in and of itself would have been criminally abusive and awful, but this is so much worse than I could have predicted.

Considering I have been listening to Hamilton non-stop for 2 weeks and love Obama, I basically exploded in a burst of glitter and rainbows watching this.

LMM is a goddamn genius.

THIS GIF IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER. I am seriously sitting alone at my desk cackling like a psycho.

*curtsy* Thanks, dearest!

I liked reading this, because I know dem feels. My son is 4 and I already fight a ton of this shit for him, but I’m really gearing up for my daughter when she hits about his age, because she’s under 2 and already been hearing it to some degree for her entire life. I’m 98% on board with the basic argument here and 85%…

Ahh! I hated coven! To each their own! I haven't watched any of American Crime.

Best season hands down, though.

I gave birth to my daughter under such circumstances. Loved my midwife to the moon and back! The blogging midwives who coin aggro phrases like “birth rape”, on the other hand, are misguided at best.

Then I hope I play the savvy if misguided quippy cool girl everyone roots for!

*curtsy*

Another good trick (which I did not employ here) is to look for it on Youtube and then make a GIF of it.

You guys I am actually dehydrated.

How could a ghost pick up the ax, dummy? It would go right through their hands! Now, if the house were possessed by a demon, then I’d have something to worry about.

I could not love you more for referencing that!

Literally the only thing that would keep me from a house like that would be the worry that weirdos would come gawking at my home... or worse (a la American Horror Story: Murder House).

I hope there are a lot of people like you: you’re driving the price down for me! ;-)
