I wear dresses, leggings, and flats because they are easier to put on. A couple of months ago my coworker asked if I constantly wore dresses as a “religious thing” which I found odd because the dresses I wear aren’t very conservative. Her eyebrows reached a new level when I explained that I do it because it is…

Beating your kid with a hockey stick while whipping a jump rope at her is not spanking.

People who complain about mass incarceration are usually referring to nonviolent, non-predatory offenders.

Abstaining from sex with clients is a solid idea for any therapist tbh

And Emma Thompson:

I was thinking about this this morning as well. I’ve been surprised by how hard his death has hit me, especially because I’m not usually that affected by celebrity deaths. But Alan Rickman seemed like such a lovely person and he played such varied characters so well and with humor. My favorite roles of his are from…

Well said.

I agree. Many of the roles wouldn’t be what they were if anyone else but him had played them. I don’t think that is true for many actors. He was not only talented but he was also unique.

He was so wonderful in this- he played the older admirer so well, with this kind of melancholy grace, admiring her youth and loveliness without being creepy. I found it very touching.

and now i’m crying.

I’m searching my memory, and I don’t recall any celebrity death that has given me such a sense of sadness. Not in a very long time, at any rate. There couldn’t have been a more perfect person to play Professor Snape, or any of his characters, really. I’m just.... ugh. Let’s drink.

If a life well-lived is measured in the effect one has on the people they leave behind, then it’s clear that Alan Rickman’s time here was well-spent.

I... I got nothin.’ It’s like someone’s weird dream last night broke free of the dream realm and now is in the news.

This year is turning out to be a total fuckbungler. Adding the deaths this week on top of some personal stuff (which everyone has) is making this into a shitty 2016 so far.

I hate that I’m old enough for people I consider legends to start dying. I’m so wrung out from Bowie’s passing that the suckerpunch that is losing Alan Rickman has knocked me flat.

“Always.”

The GOP isn’t interested in anything more than talking points distilled into an easily digested tweet or sound byte.

You guys, Fargo was robbed.

I really do like Jennifer Lawrence overall, but I rolled my eyes so hard when she won. Just no.

Congratulations to the older children of Annegret Raunigk who will no doubt eventually be the ones raising these quads.
