I went to a boarding school when I was a teenager, at a very small, liberal prep school in the Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts. It was located on the ancestral estate of an old rich family, and most of the buildings and grounds we used were originally made in the 1800s. Some of the teachers had lived there for…

I’m not saying this in retrospect, but there’s nothing that should have indicated that the risk was worth it.

Swank is partnered. She didn’t start a family, she was growing her existing family. Childfree/childless couples are no less families just because they don't have children.

“It’s silly and funny and a good reminder that most women’s bodies don’t look like Kendall Jenner’s.” In fairness, I was under the impression that Kendall Jenner’s body mostly doesn’t look like her image, either

“I thought you didn’t send pretty girls to prison?”

I totally agree and the problem seems to be that people think someone giving zero fucks about anyone but him-/herself and being an outright asshole towards everyone else is a sign of strength. Weirdly enough these are also the people who thinks someone like that (*cough* Trump *cough*) is a great leader, and sadly…

Never quite understood this mindset, that the unrepentant d-bag is somehow better or more respectable than someone who might be a d-bag, but has the awareness to know being a d-bag isn't something to celebrate or broadcast... 

I’m deemed to be an asshole because I say what everyone else thinks.

The “make your money” taunt is interesting. Does this mean everyone else is making pedestrian Xmas movies solely for the purpose of art?

I love being around in 2022, when the HALLMARK CHANNEL is just a bit too woke for some. What a time!

I couldn’t have children and knew from the age of 16.  My first/late husband refused to adopt, which broke my heart.  Your comment is as ignorant has the ones that accused her of putting her career first. You have no idea what her personal situation was at the time.

They should take her money. Money is good. Money helps them help more people, no? What is this supposedly serious charity organization doing making decisions based on unconfirmed gossip?!

I’d love to share a story with y’all that I love, though it is not my own. It was told to me by my very sweet, very Irish mother-in-law, who after telling me supes casually her grandmother survived the Boston Strangler by beating the shit out of him with her CANE over dinner, I’ve learned to shut up and listen when…

I think about the ghost truck all the time! That was definitely one of the best (and scariest) true stories I’ve ever read. I also vividly remember one from a few years ago about a djinn in Afghanistan (I think, might’ve been somewhere else in the middle east) that soldiers were seeing through their night scopes that…

My mom grew up in a small farm in the middle-of-nowhere northwestern Minnesota. Her dad died before I was born, but I regularly visited her mom (my grandmother) still living at the farm, until she passed when I was a teenager. My grandmother was the prototypical Great Depression-forged Midwest farm wife of Norwegian…

DUDE. My friend is a witch and I told her how much I love ghosts and she’s like, “well yeah, I can see your entourage” and then peaced out. I still all the time want to know who or what makes up my ghostly entourage. I have to assume they’re chill and don’t bother me in my apartment. 

And the ubiquitous “THIS WILL BE IMPORTANT LATER” disclaimer, even though that “later” never seems to come. 

Can I also plead that we don’t need to know the layout of your entire house to hear about something scary that happened inside? The long, overly detailed and confusing architectural descriptions are nearly a convention at this point.

I posted this last year hours before the deadline. Doubt many people saw it so I thought I’d post again. Hope that’s cool.
