This made me a bit emotional. Thank you, Greta! Your voice is an important tool. Thank you for sharing it with us!

I hope your surgery goes well!

I’m not going to work tomorrow because I have the privilege to be able to do so AND I don’t work in a job where staying home will negatively affect the care or well-being of others. However, I do fear that if either my boss or his boss knew why I am not coming in, I’d be penalized or forced out, which I absolutely…

Shit, I would tune in to watch the Rock read Apple’s terms and conditions to a pair of wind-up chattering teeth.

My current favorite description of the Philly accent is that the movie “Jaws” is pronounced like the plural of the name Joel. I need to call my Philly native friend and ask her the name of that shark movie with Roy Scheider.

I remember coming across “catsup” in a book when I was a child and my mother telling me it was still pronounced “ketchup.” Sure enough, this is indeed how her family spelled ketchup.

Yes! I’ve stuck around, but rarely comment anywhere in the kinjaverse anymore. Mostly MP stuff, and very little at that...and nothing as thoughtful as what you write :)

I like you so much. (Always have loved your comments; was just moved to tell you during this exchange. Not trying to be weird.)

I’m the same way, but my ex respected that. Sometimes he’d be like “mind if I go down?” And sometimes I’d be like “sure,” and it’d feel good...for a minute. I’d let him know I was done, and that was that.

Oh shit, my apologies! I wonder how I ever forgot that. Goddamn, what a beautiful man.

Like how the Austrians in The Sound of Music have British accents despite ALL the main character actors (except Julie) were American?

I cannot. Well, I hear it in Tina-as-Sarah’s voice.

My mom was texting me while I was reading this. Like, rage-texting about how I had to watch the press conference because he’s a terrifying lunatic. I was like I CANNOT. This was bad enough. Poor mom threw out her back and is hostage in front of the TV right now, though. Jeezy creezy this was tough to read.

Collins, too.

Yep, fuck ‘em.

What better way to further their anti-intellectualism vision than to straight up FUCK education? (Added bonus: keep marginalized groups marginalized! )

Right? “Will we ever know wh he did it?”

Nah, remember...Dylann Roof’s action was an attack on Christianity. Y’know, because it happened in a church. Why do you have to bring up race? Ugh, *I’m* colorblind.

When I visited my parents shortly after the election, I kept hearing my dad mutter “1932" to himself. Like, all the time. I think the election broke him.

I started anxiety-puking earlier after reading this. I know the other two are being flown in, but right now I have that Weakest Link host’s voice in my head. I’m picturing him dismissing both of them (great TV! The best!) and then appointing Theil.
