Seriously.

Lmao and this is why Jezebel is labeled a white feminist space. You will cape for a rich racist white woman and think that a young black girl who’s father is a president deserves to work with her.

There’s nothing impressive about a rich, sheltered white woman becoming even more rich by creating movies and TV shows that are somewhat based on her privileged life.

And the pro-Lena Dunham brigade on Jezebel begins to pounce.

You forgot pedophile in that list.

Nope, she deserves better. Lena Dunham is overrated.

She deserves better than working with Lena Dunham.

Not sure I could love this comrade more.

I would love to visit any country where minorities don’t have to worry. And ride a unicorn

You want to visit a country that routinely cages up people and denies basic civil and human rights to minorities?

I listen to this show on the regular - and while it didn't exactly make me like Kim, it didn't make me hate her either. She was self-aware and deprecating.

Over on the subreddit for NPR (why I was reading it I have no idea) they were having such a hissy fit about this appearance that I’m happy it went well.

Wait Wait...Don’t Tell Me is the show 60 year old people listen to to feel young, and 28 year old women who taught English in Japan love because it adds to their intellectual mystique.

She has crossed into my realm of nerdery. At least this humanizes her in that special way that only public radio can.

My mom and dad always read to us. Which, for me, inspired a love of reading (until I got to grad school) and for my sister was her only way of digesting literature because she had fairly serious dyslexia that even my conscientious parents begging questions about changed anything. She was not dx’ed until she was 15.…

I think you’re right insofar as the problem really is more a matter of tone than content. Of course close relatives are all likely to purchase gifts for the baby’s b-day and some coordination of gifts to avoid duplication and make sure they’re actually needed makes sense, but there are ways to do that without coming…

How much storage can 25 baby books take up though (or for that matter, 32 board books)? It’s got to be less than one file box. Maybe they should’ve asked for a bookcase? (Also because books are good in general.)

The key word is “gently.” I think it’s fine to be like, “Here’s some stuff we want, please don’t give us a bunch of extra stuff, our baby doesn’t need it!” Or to be like, “Please no gifts, our one-year-old is doing great, just bring your beautiful selves, thanks!” But to go on and on about it to the point where it’s…

I get that, and I figured the same thing, but also, like...make a phone call. Explain the reasons. Don’t make a list of demands in a formal, creepy email. Just be like “Aunt Ellen, I get it, you love buying the kid stuff, because its adorable, and he is adorable. We live in a two bedroom apartment though, so could you…
