My boyfriend and I have this same discussion about “ Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” which I let my ten year old watch. He thinks it glorifies Rebecca’s bad behavior, but that’s removing the nuance from the story, which is sometimes, when we feel shitty, we do shitty things to other people, and are not necessarily due our day in…

Isn’t this the Ani DiFranco cover?!??

I loved the singing & RE, but HATED everything else. I just didn’t find JRs character remotely believable. I didn’t think she actually loved the groom at all and I kept waiting for CDs character to knock her the fuck out.

He was so good with Colin Firth in The rather weird The Importance of Being Earnest movie

Four-day weddings are pretty ridiculous, but I do love the craziness of it all, as depicted in this cinema classic.

Julia Roberts can be so good when she just embraces the shallow, petty, vindictiveness that comes naturally to her.

I never understood why this was the opening of the movie

I have been known to bust a sad middle aged lady dance move and sing at the top of my lungs when the “Say a Little Prayer” seafood restaurant sing-a-long scene comes on. I miss Rupert Everett.

also this post really makes me want to watch my favorite julia roberts movie- STEPMOM

I’ll always love the Wishin’ and Hopin’ song, and any scene with Rupert Everett. 

Speaking of perfection:

Seriously, that shit polarizes religious people so much. The best case scenario would be that we get more progressive people like her and her parents in the churches and turn those immense voting blocks into a force for good, just like African-American churches empower and organize their vote. Why the fuck do you care…

I am also very, very tired of the “invisible sky daddy” bullshit, it’s incredibly condescending and myopic. My church is a progressive, welcoming, and diverse community and attending it has helped my mental health immensely. This article (written by a Muslim man) does a really good job of explaining why: https://www.b…

A church, the place people go to have their relationship made official in marriage, is not the place to talk about this? Yes, we should leave anything that might imply sexuality outside the church, like men and women kissing after they get married. Or marriage all together. If the church wants to be in the business of…

Earth is not the right place for churches.

I have sat in LDS testimony meetings where nobody stopped a member from speaking at length about the problems and health of his colon. I have heard the “there was a disaster and lots of people died, but God saved the missionaries” talk many times—the talk that suggests the lives of missionaries are somehow more sacred…

Dude, whaaaat? I’ve been to a Testimony meeting. I thought the whole point was that everyone - EVERYONE - was encouraged to share their testimony of how Heavenly Father and Jesus had personally worked in them. This girl is discussing how she came to the realization that she is perfectly and wonderfully made just…

Can I just say that I am so sick of people insulting religious people who believe in an “invisible sky-God”? You don’t believe? That’s fine! However, that’s no reason to insult everyone’s who believes in God. Contrary to your draconian beliefs, it’s possible to be religious and support science and liberal beliefs.

Her supportive parents are also Mormon.

Good dad too. I’ve known him for about fifteen years and he and her mom are about as loving and supportive as it gets. I saw his pictures from Pride with them all wearing their matching t-shirts and I’m still talking about it online so I guess it was pretty damn cute.
