I don’t even understand what he meant by this.

But where’s Guillermo del Toro?! He’s the one I’m most excited to see. Maybe another brother? Or an uncle? 

How wasn’t it entirely charitable? Not wanting to waste food and thus giving it to people who need it is charitable! Good on you.

For the last five years or so I have only worn dresses and skirts (brief flirtations with shorts and overalls for some events). I started by using Body Glide for chafing, but then turned to bicycle shorts, and then shortlettes. I also own a couple skorts for around the house, but now they confused me as everything…

While I enjoy Cardi B, why are policios flocking to her? Is there some reason beyond the usual attempts to be cool?

*Ahem* I think you’ll see it was actually Fox Kidz that did the takedown.

My husband and I talked about this. If he were ours, I’d be publicly disavowing him. He’s old enough to travel mostly alone, he’s old enough to face consequences.

Making sure the lights match. It weirdly infuriates me driving around this time of year when houses use both warm white and cold white bulbs, or their colored light strings are different (eg. a red, green, and blue string on the porch, and a red, yellow, and blue string on the trees in the front yard). 

You failed to mention Miss Japan also had a costume-in-parts! Girl came out in a transforming ninja-to-Sailor-Moon outfit.

Tomatoes are Communist.

I’m an aunt only (at this point). I went once for Grandparent’s Day (grandma and grandpa were not in town that day). It was good. I’ve volunteered too. I can maybe see lunch on a birthday or something, but daily? Even weekly? You’re just asking for your kid to be socioemotially delayed.

Ok, but I have Celiac. The easiest shorthand for me in restaurants is that I have a gluten allergy - most servers don’t know what Celiac is, and even gluten is stretching it some places. 

I fairly recently left STL, and have a lot of family in Southwestern Missouri. The whole state is fucked up in its own way, and in all my time there I never figured out why the whole state is as racist as it is. Does it have to do with the split status during the civil war? Is it because you’ve got two (fairly)…

While not completely seasoned, I’m a professor and I’ve only asked students to stop what they were doing once. They were talking in the back of a small classroom to the point I couldn’t focus on lecture. I told them they were fine, but take it outside if they needed to talk.

Not exactly connected, but I conducted research even on mental health trained officers (CIT) in STL County before and after the Michael Brown shooting. In the 12 months after the shooting, welfare check calls went down by half - just for CIT officers. We can’t tell why they went down (were the calls not made, or were…

The last period of these women’s lives was terrifying. Chained. Dehumanized. Drowned.

Fair episode, but I just want to mention I freaking hate the term “stride of pride”. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but it seems...juvenile? Simplistic? I can’t pinpoint it, but can’t we find another term for it?

I knew Tammé was going to have a bigger role this season, and I loved seeing her come over to Debbie’s was great. She sold it as far as not reveling in Debbie’s stumble (which I would’ve done, the way Debbie’s been), but just a laid back “hey, fondue and wine” thing. 

I let out a long “bitccchhhh” at Debbie’s last line.
