My daughter owns a large number of tiaras (side effect of being a ballet dancer).  She would never buy anything that tacky.  The lilac fairy would never.

I think it’s because this is the first time these people have been forced to follow rules that they didn’t agree with. They think of rules as things that people follow to make them feel more comfortable.

He could hire a ghost writer to do the majority of the heavylifting at this point.  He wrote himself into a corner and doesn’t know how to get his way out.

What floors me here is that there was never goal or process for her to get more control of her life.  She was in a really terrible place and needed the conservatorship at the time, but she should have had a path to earn more control over her life.  She should also at anytime be able to veto the person who is…

He really wanted to have Putin's power...  Would have taken it if he could.

I suspect that Katie wanted to talk about it. She’s not the first bachelorette to do so. It’s not a bad place to talk about how previous experiences effect your current relationships.

Not only that but the great majority of those medical providers (basically anyone but the dentist or eye doctor) ask when the date of your last period was. 

I will never forget that.  It was horrifying.

White children have these problems because their white communities (parents and peers) had these problems. They were taught wrong.

Many learn they were wrong and change.

People with good parents do. So, is everyone who was raised by racist family members and echoed their behaviors a racist forever?  Should they have known better when the people around them were literally not teaching them the right thing?

Or, we just realize that we are not now who we were when we were 13/14

So, in your mind if someone says something racist then they are racist forever. 

Perhaps she was inconsiderate or even a bit racist when she was 13/14

WHO CARES.  She’s grown up and is a different person now who knows better.

There are plenty of people who are massive racists when they were teens (or tweens) because they were raised by shitty parents. Some of them are even horrible at 13 and then changed at 14. Many change in their early 20's.

To imply that someone should be branded a racist forever because they espoused the same beliefs as…

I hope they move into the testaments.  I think that book was the author trying to give the story some direction.  I'd love to see the pearl girls recruiting women for Gilliad. 

The problem is that this isn’t a story that could continue with a focus on June. If it’s June’s story then it should have ended after the second season.

I hope so.  It ended nicely, people can write fanfiction if they want to know what happened next.  

Bullies often think that they are the victim and feel totally justified in being nasty.

Is there really no one else who is qualified to do his job?

I agree, I think that was a big frustration of being in was that they weren’t allowed to respond. They had to wait and decide if the palace decided they were going to make a statement while the detractors yelled and screamed.

Charles has a good relationship with his grandmother and loved his mother.
He does not have a good relationship with his Father and Phillip isn’t someone you’d want to name your kid after.
I was going to name my daughter after both our grandfathers if she had been a boy. Our grandmothers and mothers had terrible names…
