Ok, in a bizarro world where I had a son, he would def be Ernest. His middle name would be either Jack or Algy, and I would constantly quote Oscar Wilde at him.

Esme is the name of Granny Weatherwax and I demand you take your sinful wrongwords back.

I have the same one! Still in the packaging and on a high shelf.....so the dog doesn’t eat it.

Loved the signature collection. Sad those are going to go away now though

is it the high fashion skinny Ursula doll? I can’t decide if I love or hate her... hate because it doesn’t look like her... love because lets face it, homegirl is gorgeous. (also didn’t realize how big the pic was... sorry)

I’m happy to hear that :-) He isn’t doing doing so well but he isn’t doing to bad either. It’s just like his life has flatlined: there are no real ups and downs anymore and it’s like he’s been sleepwalking through the years since his end of service. He doesn’t want mental healthcare and no one seem to really reach him…

It’s a scary system and seems in itself. as you pointed out, dehumanizing. With all the secrecy and then the wilfull secrecy around things(Shit) like this, it’s been difficult for him to get the support he needs.(And it’s scary to think about when there’s systemic abuse like this). I’m glad your brother had you there…

My cousin was also in the Navy. Never saw combat. He came back, not quite broken but shaky and silent. Years after, and he’s never been in contact with anyone he served with. I’m actually not going to ask about this, but it was also sssbn.

You didn’t yell at him though! Which is really something. I would have. If anyone tells me to “be happy" it generally ends poorly

Oh no :( that sounds really hard.

This is taking the voyeurism of mainstream society too far, setting a precedent that should never have been reached. Not only is there probably many a way letting all those reporters into the house illegal, but the way they’re handling everything means they’ve contaminated the crime scene to holy hell, things will be…

I can’t weigh in at all on the black culture part of this piece, since I’m white af, don’t live in Chicago, and don’t follow much of Spike Lee’s work.

Semi-related, I was inspired to look at Chrissy Teigen’s feed and she joked earlier today that she’d have 2M followers if she hadn’t needed to manually block 800K.

It’s not a lifestyle choice; they were sewn this way!

More of this! More families helping to raise families! I’m a mother who lives far from family and let me tell you, it is such a fucking gift to have support.

At least you got away :)

I’m glad I had enough sense not to go looking for sexy older men on trains. I have a feeling I wouldn’t have been as lucky as Natty.

Were you as disappointed as me that this wasn’t an article about Natty Gann?

Hell yes. I remember I was very attracted to John Cusack’s character even at such a young age.

OH FUCK I LOVED THIS MOVIE AS A KID.
