One thing (beyond the bullshit of it happening in the fucking first place) that super bothers me about this is that recasting Tambor’s character would be totally tonally appropriate for the show! They could make some one-off joke about him getting plastic surgery to dodge the authorities after some stupid suggestion…

Oy, I feel you. My mom used some of her international data plan last year to send me pictures of tiny baby sweaters from Ireland and say “I wish I had someone to buy these for!” (I complain but I love my mom, she’s one of my best friends, she’s just hella baby crazy and all her siblings are grandparents now so it’s…

I really want big companies like this to find good alternatives to plastic for straws instead of getting rid of them all together. It’s not a preference thing for me, but my father-in-law has a lot of disabilities and he can’t drink anything if it’s not through a straw (bendy is best but we take what we can get.) We…

My mom worked once my brother and I started school full time but was a stay-at-home parent until then. I think it was really positive for me because she was a very hands-on mom and just really loved being a mom. She read to me constantly and that made it so I was reading on my own by the time I was 3 which obviously…

I stayed in a hotel like that on my honeymoon and my husband isn’t big on baths. Honestly, it’s surprising we spent any time together at all that trip because I did not want to leave that bath. (He like the shower though because it had little side misters in it so the bathroom had something for everyone I guess.)

I haven’t seen the live concert yet but rewatched the movie from the 70s for the millionth time on Sunday (I’m an atheist but it’s such a damn good show that I really don’t care about the whole religious part) and holy crap Jesus is such a drama queen. Like half the show he’s like “I don’t even think you guys even…

I’ve never seen this before and now I’m dying laughing at my desk and need to explain it to my coworkers. WORTH IT.

Journalism and media talks a big game about ideals such as diversity but is shit at following through on it, both with gender and race. In the newsroom I work in, as far as the content generation side of things, I’m the only woman and we have no editorial staffers who are people of color or LGBTQI. The thing that…

She did! She said he was nice and was all about the animals when he was there. Sadly for all parties, no mention on general smell.

One of my besties works at AustinPetsAlive! and messaged me about him being there the other day. I (very reasonably) responded HE IS SINGLE NOW GET HIM FOR EITHER YOU OR ME even though I’m married and she’s getting married in November. He’s v. hot and he loves animals. You get that shit when you can.

My parents, while very concerned with the kind of film and TV I consumed as a child, really did not police what I read. I started reading the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind when I was about 11 and that was like.... a good amount of my sex ed tbh. Because of a kind of magic in the series, a lot of focus and…

Only thing in my figure skating experience that you really have to watch out for is a toe pick. Was in class once, this girl in front of me in line didn’t move far enough out from the side of the rink to start a jump we were learning, threw her leg out and her toe pick caught me in the shin. Blood everywhere, I had to…

Thank you for this! A 5 dollar (with shipping because they count the pre-coupon price for your free shipping threshold and it’s only 50 bucks) merino wool cardigan is now on its way to my house. Huzzah!

I’ve been thinking about that? I’ve been trying to find an agent off and on for like 2-3 years but one of my (many) New Year’s resolutions was to query at least 4 agents a month, so I’m hoping that I’ll find someone eventually. I’ve got 2 novels of a series written, one that’s been edited a few times and one that’s…

Haha yay! Because I do want to use that idea lol. If anyone is ever crazy enough to publish my stuff, I will give you credit!

Well she initially gets involved as a reporter, so her name is always pretty publically attached to what she’s investigating (which is how she ends up as a target.) Though in book 2 she only gets into real trouble to save her boyfriend, but the bad guy only grabs him to get to her so not sure that really counts. I do…

Legit question from someone writing a thriller series where the main character is a woman, is it possible to do that? I mean avoiding sexual violence is obviously easily doable but if central character is a woman and not an anti-hero who is the one doing the bad shit, can you have it so she’s not at least stalked in…

There’s a fan theory (that I’m partial to) that Palpatine used the force to kind of rob Padme of her “life force” for lack of a better word and use it to keep Anakin alive. The droids obviously couldn’t sense some force action going on and would just be like “I dunno, she just doesn’t want to live anymore I guess.” Obi…

I will still be (pleasantly) surprised everytime they nominate women or people of color for a while. But the Academy has added a lot more voices to the mix in the past few years and I think nominating “Get Out” is a good representation of those voices. It’s not something the Academy would have gone for even 5 years…

I have a cousin and his wife who were soooo torn about whether or not to even vote after Bernie Sanders wasn’t nominated and were so proud and vocal about voting for Jill Stein. In fucking MICHIGAN. Every time Trump does something horrible (so about one an hour) I have to fight the urge to send them a message going…
