Yes! My dad was an alcoholic. He didn’t beat his family but it lead to a whole slew of issues. But, other than my mom who experienced the full spectrum of his ups and downs, I have never met anyone who was just nonplussed by my dad. They either absolutely love or absolutely despise him, depending on if he was…

I don’t care about what was happening in their heart and mind. Don’t do this getting stuck in the weeds nonsense.
Holy shit I could write better erotic fiction than this and I’ve only had sex like twice
A million times this! I honestly do understand the reflexive urge to say, “But, I’ve spent soooo much time with this person, and I could never see it happening!” However, do people honestly not understand that others have lives outside of them? Is there really nothing in their own lives that others might be surprised…
Exactly! And while there is no one formula, the whole cycle of abuse is usually sustained by the fact that abusive people can often be charming, charasmatic, and even kind and generous in a very showy way.
Living in Europe, you see plenty of this racist bullshit. I just walked past a store in a mall with a store called “Redskins” with a bunch of White people in ceremonial First Nations headdresses on their advertising. I’ve seen maybe 4 Black/Brown people on TV who weren’t athletes or musicians over all the time I spent…
the darker he made himself, the whiter he became.
Counterpoint - If a doctor wanted to video my fungus toenail as he/she fixed it, and offered that the procedure would be reduced cost or free, then SCORE! That would motivate me to do something beyond covering it with nail polish and trying to pretend it’s not going to take over my body. As long as you can’t see my…
God, I’m so prepped for bad news at all times that halfway through the headline I was hyperventilating thinking she had died.
You will get no argument from me there, but Dean Winchester is still the superior Winchester.
“Yes. Cause that show hasn’t been good since season five.”
Gina Torres is my favorite thing about everything she’s associated with. Also, I met her once and it was transcendent.
She looks like she was just trying to make her way to the shitter when a ballet popped up in front of her, and she doesn’t want to get in the way.
Could it possibly be that she uses that association more because she in some ways feel ostrachised from both communities?
Y’know the thing about FLOTUS, she’s got... lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When she comes at ya, doesn’t seem to be livin’... until she bites ya. And those black eyes roll over white, and then... oh, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the White House turns red, and spite of all the…
If you play the music from the shower scene in Psycho over that zoom in of her standing there like a malign spirit, you get a pretty good horror movie trailer.
Agreed. It was a creepy shot and I was just waiting for her to be like, “Melania is not here, Mrs. Torrance.”
Zendaya can’t pass for white to any person with eyes.
They should have filmed it where she’s clearly standing on a small dolley being pulled so it could properly do that horror thing where the person is moving along but obviously not under their own power.
There’s probably a term for this thing, now that I think about it.
