And don't forget Jane Espensen. The minute she gets a writing gig, all your favourite characters are about to go through a lot of turmoil and death.

But Frannie is a product of her upbringing. She's got her horrible mom and idolises her dad. Some women do come out of that sort of upbringing as MRA sympathisers. (though it would have been nice for her to grow out of it during the book)

The most misogynist character King ever wrote was the sister of the main character in Tommyknockers. Her establishing shot in the book is her masturbating in a hotel room with a dildo and the information that she was still a virgin. This was how we knew she was a baddy.

It is? Wow. Had no idea.

Meth is not so big in the UK. But then there's not so many other drugs that might be responsible (Ketamine? PCP??) and they're not so big in the UK either.

And all because fashion designers can't be bothered to learn how to sew 3D patterns. Learn to sew darts, you lazy sods.

Wind farms. It's all about wind farms, right?

I'll bite: what happens if a child catches a glimpse of a stranger's boob behind a baby's head? What happens next?

I remember her saying something similar a long time ago about how sometimes American shop employees give her the same treatment if she's not looking as glam and they don't recognise her.

I always wonder if that is what they are told to say by the lawyers or if it's caused by the same problems that cause them to harm people. Who is doing the cold calculation that this will earn sympathy?

I find this really frustrating too. I find it crazy hard to find workout clothes to fit me. Oh, I found some once in a sports shop and bought loads. Then at the counter the lady said

Ive tried that and while I lose a few pounds, I plateau despite still being overweight. I have a wonky thyroid, asthma which causes respiratory infections every few weeks and insulin resistance.

God, I love that guy <3

I love his face when she calls him a "good boy". It's like "Really?! I guess so."

Exactly!

The girl I sat next to in high school maths had a tiny brooch of baby feet. I asked her about it and she said that they were the 16-week foetus sized. I was pro-choice back then too but I had come from a Catholic school so I knew enough to STFU.

The member of staff is REALLY good at standing still, I would have taken a half step backwards and raised my arms to make blocking easier.

Aren't animals from hot countries not bothered by the heat? Like, how many tigers do you see at the gas station in line to buy an ice cream sandwich? VANISHINGLY FEW.

Magic? Or cauterisation? Or magical cauterisation?

This made me cry with laughter.
