ALSO, I mean not the point, but having written my MA thesis on memoir...it is a legitimate and important form.

As I understood it, it was marketed as YA/adventure/dystopia? The covers, at least the hardback ones, were not at all romance-y. The movies were more sold that way but, that is a whole different thing.

Well since you haven’t *read* the book, you can’t really make that judgment. But, for example, gonzo journalism is not billed as “memoir.” And it is SUPER first-person. As I understand it, the book has a lot of factual information, a lot of interviews, a lot of research, all tied together by personal experience, which…

Journalism and academia are not the same thing.

Like the newish Bell Jar cover!?

Maybe she just felt a little woozy starting around 8 or 9 every day, not *drunk*, and figured that’s just how she feels at night.

Have you ever seen a physics major spend 10 hours a day in studio while balancing theory classes? I was friends w some art students (like, at a legit art school) in college, and they worked harder and partied less than any of the STEM majors I knew. The one I was closest to is now a graphic designer who’s won a…

My uterus just broke.

But he does wear a towel when he gets out of the shower.

Lots and lots of sunscreen every day?

For me it’s:

I think it’s a song whose historical context is very, very important; that same song written a few decades later would read wayyyy different.

How is that not an improvement? First of all, doing something consensual but feeling bad about it bc of social norms is way better than being drugged and raped, and second, of COURSE this would have gone against social norms in the 40s.

Well those two examples are SUPER different. It’s only up to you whether or not you go out. But if you are living together, doing some expensive home renovation is a together thing.

Like, if you live together, getting a pet SHOULD be a decision between the two of you. But “agreeing to” sounds a lot better/more reasonable.

This is what it feels to me.

Yeah, that the response has been unified is just not true. Lots of people support and continue to support Trump. When he spews his racist bullshit to his own crowds, he gets standing ovations.

I think she means the bit of projection R2D2 plays before Obi Wan sees the whole thing, i.e. her plans for the Rebel Alliance. When *actual* Leia first appears, she’s doing shit. And yes, I hate the gold bikini. But I love love love Leia and pretty much everything else about Star Wars.

uh, if by “big scene,” you mean the holograph of her R2D2 plays? Don’t say “fancy princess” so dismissively — she had actual political power, and was a leader of the rebel alliance.

If he has other partners who can support him through the job loss, and you want a one-on-one relationship, you are free to break up whenever you need/would like. And what does “won’t let you” mean?
