The lie I told my parents was that my now-husband and I never dated. I thought I would get to stop lying once we got married, but I actually now have to keep this story going forever.

“She barely showed up every day.” 
...I don’t know enough about this to argue one point or another, but if she was there every day, they must have been supremely close. “Showing up” for someone on their deathbed is a HUGE thing.

I didn’t really mind the condescending tone of The Big Short because I WAS actually ignorant of a lot of the missteps that caused the financial crisis. But when it comes to the Iraq invasion, which I am painfully aware of, the cutesy “refreshers” felt like salt in the wound — that’s probably what they were going for,…

Love absolutely everything Kelly Clarkson does. She has one of my all-time favorite singing voices.

Wow, the trailer looks incredible! And thank you for the reminder about Leicester Square ;)

My job is sending me to London for a three-day training course next month, and I am PUMPED. I honestly hate my place of work, and this course is the only thing I’ve had to look forward to here since they mentioned it last summer. The course itself sounds super intensive and hopefully beneficial, but what I am really…

Bingo. The DNC is more offended by a Muslim women of color’s tweets than the indiscriminate murder of Muslim women protesters in Gaza every Friday. It’s a disgrace.

Truman recognized Israel the same day that Israel declare itself to be a state, so I would argue that the US has been a pro-Israel country for as long as it has been possible.

I’m Arab, so I’ll watch it. I grew up loving the animated version for the same reason — representation. But there were SO MANY weirdly Islamophobic things in there that I didn’t pick up on as a kid, so I can’t watch that shit anymore without rage-stroking. (A shopkeeper trying to whack off someone’s arm in the middle…

Ricky Martin’s son looks like someone resized Ricky Martin in Photoshop and added a 2000s-era Bieber haircut. I love it, and mini-Ricky wins the red carpet for me.

Yeah, that article was bullshit. Gaga may “regret” it now, but she recorded a song called “Do What You Want with My Body” with a child rapist at the height of her career. Rami Malek’s participation in Bohemian Rhapsody (during which he clashed repeatedly with Singer until he left the project) was this almost-unknown…

I watched that Wade Robson MJ routine years ago, when I first learned his name through his appearances on So You Think You Can Dance. Makes me sick to think of that sweet little boy being taken advantage of by his idol.

Oh shit. I knew the event was in the Bahamas and have no idea why I thought that specific guy wasn’t local. Point taken. 

I felt bad for the Jamaican guy that was still taking Billy’s calls at the end. Like, what is it about that guy where people still sympathize with him and crave his approval??

Will star anything for Kate McKinnon.

“but I think I just need my period to start”

I wrote four pages of a screenplay I have been planning (but not working on) for the past six years. It’s not much... at all... but it’s so much better than zero pages.

I don’t have any experience/knowledge on the subject, but as a fellow person-trying-to-get-pregnant, I wish you good and reassuring news. You did the right thing by trusting yourself, calling the doctor, and putting your well-being first. Lots of love <3

Fuck the Mooch, Emily buried the lede with that casual mention of Joey Lawrence! 

I thought the MRAs were mad at “SJWs” for not taking their shit seriously. Yet, when medical professionals try to address the male mental health crisis, it’s STILL “liberals’” fault. Men are so fucking exhausting.
