I want this movie to be amazing and true to the book at least as much as you do, so please don’t think I’m being condescending when I say this (even though it’s totally going to sound like it, for which I apologize):

I am so, so wary, and I am going to be so heartbroken if it’s bad.

Sansa dressed like a normal twenty something at a music festival and I am here for it!

*acknowleges this show is problematic AF*

There’s a .01% chance of pregnancy, and a 5% chance that your periods will stop altogether. I don’t know the stats on cycle changing, but I’m sure it’s way high.

Including a trans mom in a lesbian relationship, where they are both the biological parents of the kid. I also liked that they included a Korean woman who is a single mother - that is still a big deal for a lot of Korean families.

It’s that 5% Catholic Guilt they put in it for moisturizing.

Seriously, that was unexpected. Love it.

Yeah, I’m gonna go ahead and ignore the snark in this article and instead give them a thumbs up for including a trans mom.

When I was pregnant with my first, I asked my mom if she thought she’s done a good job with raising me. And her answer was “Well, you’re alive, right? So I guess so.” “But remember when I almost got carried off by that Rottweiler?” “I got you back, it was fine.”

I wish a some of my friends and family would want me to know it’s totally okay not to be a mom. I could do without their sad sighs. I’m okay, stop being sad because for the 10 millionth time: I DON’T WANT TO BE A MOM.

I am 34 years old, and this is still a perfect illustration of drunk me.

Lol the cordial. Diana is druuuuuuuunk.

The way you guys talk about the NY Times reviews and how people perceived this show at the beginning makes me think about Jennifer Weiner and how she (rightly, IMO) argues women’s fiction is automatically slapped with a “Chick Lit” label if it involves any kind of issues considered “domestic.”

I’m not one of those people reflexively against remakes or sequels of anything, but even I’m getting to the point of where I’d prefere to see more original tales.
