Oh, for sure. I think it’s a common victim blaming response to tell people that the harassment maybe wouldn’t have been too bad if they had responded with “please do not say those things to me, it makes me sad!” I knew a woman who once did in fact try to rationalize some guy screaming obscenities at me from across the…

I’m sure he meant something like “most committed to diversity”, but even that is lol-able. I mean, he’s not exactly a big star these days, but he very clearly not aware of the comparably very diverse programming that currently exists in tv comedy...

Has romance ever been the result of cat calling...?

I always regretted that I read Animal Farm AFTER studying the Russian Revolution. Because on one hand, I enjoyed smugly thinking to myself, “hey, Snowball is Trotsky!”, but on the other, I’m sure I missed out on having my mind blown.

My favourite is the Sephora cream lip stain. It’s lasts incredibly long and doesn’t dry out your lips.

I know, I felt a bit annoyed that this is how Vinson went out. I get that he was technically a horrifying serial killer but I enjoyed the horrifying monster/gentle giant dichotomy. How could they do him like that?!

I bought the Madrid’s in the white and I love them. Before that I bought some cheap slides that started to fall apart pretty much right away - even though the birks feel extremely light they’re definitely quite sturdy, and they’ve hardly gotten dirty at all despite being all white! I have bad luck with sandals but I’m…

Samesies! I had them done twice, they looked awesome, but it’s expensive and time consuming. I’m planning on having them done for my month long trip to the Philippines next year because I know my makeup will not hold up and I am too vain to go completely natural for 30 days, but special occasions aside that’s way out…

Yeeeep yep yep. I worked in a high end department store and loss prevention did things like cut up overdue/unsellable returns, although usually we sent it back to the vendor presumably to do the same thing. Once we had a very expensive suitcase returned that was cosmetically damaged and they literally took a hammer…

I’ve only seen her in I, Tonya but given what a hubbub that movie was I was a little underwhelmed - but most of the parts came across to me as caricature (or was that the point?) . I truly believe Saoirse will be one of the greatest actresses of her generation, so I wonder if the film might be a little uneven.

Yep. People aren’t always that kind to Oprah’s legacy (I mean, obviously she has plenty of fans but the detractors are there as well) but unlike most so-called self-made people she actually overcame enormous odds - abject poverty, sexual abuse, navigating the world as a black woman - to become one of the most…

Thanks for the list! I was researching reef-safe sunscreens (I don’t live anywhere near an ocean nor do I vacation very often, but anyway) and the ones I found were extremely expensive.

For sure - I’m sure there’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes. I think I was also rubbed a bit the wrong way particularly on the college freshman/musician episode. I mean, sure, he definitely benefitted from some styling tips and being encouraged to make some more age-appropriate friends, but the reaction to him…

When he taught the college non-graduate to make a Persian dish that the guy’s mom made all the time, I was like “really, dude?” Seems like a risky move when you’re usually making dips and “salads”.

Miyazaki is one of my heroes I would never want to meet in a million years. Nope, he is not invited to my fantasy dinner with Anthony Bourdain, Serena Williams, José Mujica, and former official opposition leader Jack Layton.

In terms of his ability to create incredible, vivid worlds, I’d go with Spirited Away, Mononoke-Hime, or Howl’s Moving Castle. In terms of just whimsy and joy, I would pick My Neighbour Totoro or Kiki’s Delivery’s service. They’re more overtly kid friendly (as opposed to the severed limb fest that is Mononoke), but I…

Unbelievably heartbroken. When I read this my whole body had chills. His work has meant so much to both me and my partner. Despite his sometimes cynical perspective, Parts Unknown (and his other series) made me feel incredibly hopeful about humanity.

Oh man, I’ve had a big crush on Echo since Mt Weather days. While everyone is trying to make Bellarke happen I’m just thrilled that the ship they foreshadowed three years ago and then made seem a high improbability is now upon us, in all its sharp cheekboned glory.

Yep. Grounder politics are so idiotic and self-destructive, more about principles than strategy. At this point, IDGAF who lives or dies as long as Ringkru+Clarke make it. If Octavia isn’t big bad this season I’ll eat my axe.
