Very glad to hear you’re doing well! I’m envious of your name decision success; we are struggling with that. My partner and I have pretty different taste (generally, and in names) and come from different backgrounds
me: we should have three middle names, after ancestral family members, spelled in the proper old Irish…

My middle name is Marie, after my badass grandmother who got in barfights during her time in the Army.  Excellent choice! :D

Eleanor was my Granny's name. She was the most incredible woman I've ever known. Southern, poor as dirt woman from Selma, Alabama. She was the first feminist I ever knew and she didn't even really know she was one. Anyway, I miss her like fucking crazy. This is a beautiful combo of names. 

He speaks fluent English and made an "ugly" face. It's pretty clear what he meant. 

I’m so, so, sorry about your Mom. Suicide prevention hotlines also offer support to those who have lost loved ones to suicide. Please consider contacting them. Whatever you need to do right now is ok. Sending you love.

No helpful personal experience I’m afraid. Just sending lots of support. A day at a time is good, a minute at a time might be how it is for a while. One deep breath after another. Every feeling you feel is valid and appropriate.

Happy Saturday everyone!

I’m supposed to be on the dreaded family holiday with (amongst others) the nightmare sister in law BUT I’m home alone, full of vegan chilli and cold cider because, after almost a year of applying for jobs, BABY HAS AN INTERVIEW!!!!!!!

I applied last minute for a job which looks FUCKING…

He was talking about the way her face would look. That’s pretty clear.

I have such a hard time keeping the Kravitz/Bonet family straight because all I see is a collection of beautiful people — Lenny Kravitz, Zoe Kravitz, Lisa Bonet, Jason Momoa — and the ravages of age mean nothing to any of them, so they are timeless, talented, and beautiful and could mix and mingle and morph into each…

I mean, she could tear up her contract and become the Aimee Osbourne of the family. There are ways to reject the spotlight - Kanye did it for a long time, to a certain extent - they just involve pulling back a little from the severe enmeshment of that family.

Okay, “threatens” in a Weinstein context (and a journalistic context) generally means, I think, physical menacing. Saying “there are lots of errors in your story and I will expose them” is not really a threat.

I’m not sure I get the snark over William’s comments (beyond the legitimate discussion about the word “decision”). He acknowledged that the issues would be the result of society’s failures and that’s something we all need to work to change. Given the scrutiny Meghan has faced, undoubtedly in large part because she is…

I think I’m just going to straight up start murdering people for using the phrase “clap back.”  Really I see no other course.

I’m hoping it was a typo, and she meant “For one”? Maybe?

My husband doesn’t understand my love for the show but it’s basically a psychology class. Besides the narcissism, there’s a whole nother bonus chapter on people’s reaction to a friend’s sobriety. This shit is FASCINATING.

Seriously, was she self medicating that with alcohol? Because sober Lu comes off magnitudes more narcissistic than drunk Lu. She’s so insufferable, it’s almost comical. Almost.

I didn’t know it was possible to use the word “cabaret” so much.

I think he assumed the Chicago PD would be too lazy and racist to actually investigate a purported hate crime (not out of the realm of possibility, tbh) and he’d get all the press with none of the pressure.

There’s a term for it (well, at least there’s a term for it in one of my friend groups, wherein we had one such couple): dopplebangers.

Its incredibly stupid of you not to have understood that this is something they have mutually agreed on.
