Fuuuuck.

Of course it’s not bad! They brought back the original director, writers, makeup and wardrobe people. Last night’s episode was fun and pretty tight. This doesn’t seem like a reboot or reintroduction after 11 years. I’m excited for the season.

You know who else didn’t want to be President? Bernie Sanders. Yet he ran anyway because a bird landed on his podium and he thought it was an omen, but he had birdseed in his pockets the whole time to feed the pigeons. Pigeons, man, who feeds fucking pigeons?

I was hit with a belt maybe once or twice, but I was older. At two you barely really understand what’s wrong and right and you’re still trying to figure out where the line is. I’m kind of disturbed by her continual justification for her actions. Like I’m not sure why she feels she can be an advocate of any kind. Also,…

I was treated as a criminal. I wasn’t given a chance to explain myself. I wasn’t asked: What happened? I was just thrown behind bars. I felt like I was seen as a monster.

In 1988, in Newfoundland, sex abuse charges were laid against a Catholic priest, and an orphanage run by the Christian brothers (a Catholic order) was investigated for physical and sexual abuse allegations going back at least 20 years. My memory is not exact on the timing, but the scandal and allegations started…

Reconciliation doesn’t have to mean get back together romantically. It can just mean he wants to be able to be friends. Given how respectfully they’ve spoken of each other since they split, it seems totally possible to me.

I have nothing but sympathy for people who can’t leave. But as a life-long Gulf Coast resident I have nothing but contempt for people who are have the ability to leave but are acting like this is the biggest surprise ever. If you live in a hurricane zone then you should have a plan in place.

Yep, my cats are currently enjoying the novelty of all the porch furniture being in the house, for sure. There was no way I was leaving them. But man it’s gonna stark sucking hard in a few hours.

After Charley, Florida counties rethought their no pet policies because so many people, especially the elderly, have only their pets, and would not evacuate without them. I would not leave without my pet, personally.

I’ve heard from a few people that the Disney resort hotels are absolutely packed with dogs right now, as they’ve opened up their policy to allow pets in light of what’s going on. (Apparently, it’s sort of a go-to for locals to check in, as hotels are built to withstand more than the average home.) Good for Disney for…

There is a Washington Post story (from July) about how unprepared Tampa is and how blind our authorities are to the rising sea level and the effects of climate change. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/health/environment/tampa-bay-climate-change/?utm_term=.0a8aa70a91fd

I agree that the models do as best as they can. There was NO conspiracy to tell people that the hurricane was coming to Miami and then change it at the latest hour. Nobody knew that the forecasts were going to change at the l;atest hour...however, I agree with her in her opinion that your state is unprepared. Isn’t…

Uh, what is this? Let’s base an entire article on hurricane Irma on one girl’s twitter rants? Lexi, weathermen use these things called models because it’s impossible to predict where a hurricane will go as it’s traveling hundreds of miles. I was sick yesterday and did nothing but watching MSNBC and CNN. The governor…

Until evacuation orders actually include physically moving people, saying “if you stay, you’re on your own” is not fair. Gas stations had no gas, flights out were canceled. This isn’t Harry Potter—people need to be able to leave to get out.

For the people without the means or option to leave, my heart breaks.

I’m still nursing my disappointment that Amy Adams isn’t playing TH. She’s a hella good actor and dude, google-image the two names and whoa, twinsies:

Friendly reminder that Sebastian Stan is playing Jeff Gillooly in the Tonya Harding movie!

Could this divide just generational? My mother (early 60-something) taught me (early 30-something) about feminism from an early age—and her perspective on this (being overtly sexual) is exactly the same as Sharon’s. My thought is that when you came of age in a time when you were expected to be sexual (but nice, pliant…

I’m not surprised Margot Robbie didn’t know anything about Tonya Harding. Figure skating is not a big sport in Australia and depending on the discipline winning the Australian championships can often just mean showing up and skating because there is no one else competing against you.
