Time outs are ineffective for toddlers. I’m guessing for adult men accused of sexual harassment, too. 

This is too bad. The lawyers for the board interviewed me in late August. I gave them names of witnesses etc. Did they not take what I had to say seriously? Junot Diaz is a very troubled person and should not be in any gatekeeping role that puts him in contact with young women writers of color. What a travesty.

This was a stupid post. 

Have you seen the 1997 miniseries from Masterpiece? It was true to the book. - and had deliciously imperious Faye Dunaway as Mrs van Hopper (casting perfection) and Diana Rigg as Danvers.

This will be the third remake. We have our leads (the two least interesting parts in any version). Now to the meat:

As good as Hitchcock’s film was, at least now this take can hopefully use Maxim’s actual circumstances during his confrontation with Rebecca, which in my opinion is absolutely necessary to his character.

omg omg omg. This is my favorite book ever and I hate remakes (hard to improve on Olivier and Fontaine) but if this will get a new generation of people to pick up the book then I’m all for it. I think Armie is a perfect Mr. DeWinter. Jury’s out on Lily but I’ll keep an open mind. I totes agree with the person who said…

As for Lily James, I haven’t seen her in anything before, which is exactly what the role requires.

Melania Trump is as just as independent as her husband, who also needs no advice about performing a j0b for which they has no experience and is completely and grotesquely unqualified for. Be Best.

No, they are the OPPOSITE of "good at this". A team is supposed to make the First Lady relatable to the people and not sound like a pack of snide bitches with low blood-sugar. Your mission statement is the very word "anodyne". You are basically a group secretary. 

This questionably legal immigrant is just as racist as her husband. She would never.

“If Mrs. Trump wanted something from Mrs. Obama, she’d just take it.”

LOL her “professional” team within the WH who advised her to wear a coat that says “I don’t care” on the way to see kids in refugee camps and advised her to wear the colonial era hat on a visit to Africa LOL. Much professional, such wow!

I don’t like her because she unapologetically calls her brother who has a disability the r-slur. She even used it as a funny gotcha joke for people who would use the word around her who didn’t know her brother had a disability. She said she would get really serious and look the person in the eye and say “my brother is…

Well at least we can all agree that they’re both the worst. 

Ivanka plans to go to Africa in January, with Donald Trump’s new BFFAE Lindsey Graham. I can’t wait for the photo opps.

The bride: my husband’s ex. The location: somebody’s basement. After the “design a toilet paper wedding dress” game we settled in for trivia...about the groom. Nobody really knew this guy because he was her rebound that she had only known for a few months, and she didn’t bring him around much. But whatever it’s just…

Well aren’t you a fun, “cool girl” and not at all weirdly judgmental about a common event that plenty of women who are getting married have.

I haven’t been to any weird bridal showers per se, but the most recent shower I went to was organized by one of the bride’s roommates. Said roommate demanded everyone pay attention to her and did not stop talking about herself for 45 minutes. Topics included going on a rant about her recent break up as well as giving…

My sister’s best friend had gotten engaged. Not a good idea. All they did was fight. Well two weeks before the shower the couple had a huge, very ugly fight that pretty much ended things. Except not officially I guess.
