Shondaland will once again remain the most illustrious amalgamation of TV shows in all the land, because all of them…
My favorite line from that section was when she talks about how she knows he would feel like they had to have sex regularly, because that’s what married people do, and it would be horrible and revolting. I can’t remember exactly how it goes, but it was wonderfully phrased.
Seven months on the other side of where you are now... it’s worth it. Do it.

Ted Cruz is a forgotten, water damaged, cardboard box filled with bibles and old Playboy magazines in a dusty corner of a dank basement.
He’s the reincarnation of Joseph McCarthy (& the Zodiac Killer), rolled into one.
his face said, chronically: I am about to take a dumpf
