Celeste didn’t know earlier in the book, she really thought it was his cousin. It wasn’t until Jane confronts Perry that she rememebers a story he told her about how he would use his cousins name when he was in trouble.

After I got a decent job I never spent less than $80 on a pair of shoes & they last me forever. I’ll never buy cheap shoes again.

I totally did notice that sign and lolwtf. Literally, I imagine someone coming up and asking “What conversation?” and the reply being, “The conversation about how great Pepsi is! Would you like a free sample?”

Please explain. I don’t think that reaction is beyond the pale snowflakey. Maybe the visceral reaction was because I’m southern.

It blows my mind that you work in academia and just encountered that. Like I’m not insulting you, I’m genuinely amazed. I work in academia as well, at an “elite” (pshh) university, and that is MOST people here.

The racist mammy vibe is strong. You are not over thinking it.

Cops in ball hats and t-shirts, none the less. None of the storm-trooper looking, riot-geared out, militarized police that actually show up to most protests.

The wa she put her hand to her throat before following Perry definitely made me think this.

I agree. I find his “personal training business” commercial kind of funny too.

Thanks for this. In the midst of all the shit-losing, it was striking that we have absorbed so much of this that we only notice when it’s this incredibly tone deaf.

My uncles girlfriend is a twin too and she cops it as well, especially from sleazy men. Like people just don’t understand how…

I hate “Fixer Upper” for no other reason than I don’t understand how Joanna doesn’t punch her man-baby, douchebag husband in the face. Seriously. As far as I’m concerned, she’s the single mom of 5 kids.

More $$ shoes let you repair instead of replace them. I have a mid-range pair of heels ($90ish) I’ve had repaired/reheeled 6 times over 15 years and they’re still going strong!

Khaled is slightly crazed, but in a good way. I love that he’s so expressive in his love for his son.

I’m with ya. All the Flipper Floppers and House Boinkers and Love It or Lust After It just kind of blend into one primordial real estatse stew after a while.

Honey Plz. Even now when I go on VSB I have to struggle because of how ridiculous the men in charge were at first and how they resisted Zerlina Maxwell (who now - should shock none - has the most important job out of all of them) - and how practically every single other dude on the board took their cues from them. …
