If the cholera didn’t get them they certainly would have drowned trying to ford the river. 

Also what’s with that weird ankle length? Like, if you are going to wear a pastel polyester sackcloth so Jesus doesn’t cry, at least have it cover your white tube socks and sad sneakers.

It’s actually even worse, if I recall correctly, Pa deliberately moved them out into Indian Territory because he was a white dude and figured the government would eventually just give him what he wanted and let him have a legal claim, and even the U.S. government was like “Nah, man, you got to go, this is Indian…

Oh, don’t get me wrong, they were all trash, but Ma and Pa were both fucking awful in ways that even Laura seemed to recognize, and I never understood people who read the books and thought that they were somehow delightful, folksy people. 

I don’t think I’ve ever watched one live, but that’s going to change this year. 

Yea, I hoping that they just put her in a normal environment (not the Diner of the Dead or that tech school or whatever it was) and let her come up with a good speech ahead of time. Too many people try to riff off of what the President said 10 minutes before and they always seem like they are scrambling. She’s smart…

I wonder if she will get tagged as a VP nom (assuming she doesn’t run herself this year) for 2020. She is pretty young, she could totally do VP, go off and do something else for a few years and then run for President herself.

Let’s hope they don’t do something weird like forcing her to sit in the diner of the damned like they did two years ago, or whatever the hell they did to Kennedy last year, or dehydrate her for four days ahead of time like the Republicans did to Rubio. I think she has the potential to knock it out of the park if they…

I hope this is a sign that the Democratic establishment is going to be giving Abrams a lot of resources going forward, because if she is the future of the party then that’s a party I would be glad to support.

I think white’s a good choice, because it will make them stand out more (I understand why they did black for #MeToo and #TimesUp, but all the dude’s wear black, so they just kind of faded into the background). Do they sit by party at the SotU? Because I think that would make for a pretty stark contrast between the…

Ma is a model frontier wife and mother: she coaxes delicious pie out of an unripe pumpkin, mends dresses, lets out hems when there is no money for fabric, and fashions new dresses out of flowered calico cotton when there is. She drives a team of horses and their covered wagon across a creek in a flash flood, saves…

I didn’t know the Hapsburgs were still around. 

Agreed, her color choices are usually beyond fabulous, and she can pull off so many shades that it almost seems like a waste for her to  wear black. That said, if she was wearing say, Danai’s dress in black I think she would look lovely. It’s really just this one weird half-suit, half-church lady skirt thing that’s…

It somehow shows a lot of skin but is oddly frumpy at the same time? It’s hard to make someone as naturally gorgeous as she is look dumpy, but this odd outfit somehow manages to do it. 

Lupita Nyong’o’s sexy blazer bodice and sheer, sparkly skirt by Vera Wang shouldn’t work, but it does, and well

Yea, I find it weird that one actor is being given all this shit instead of say, the people who fucking hired signer or the remnants of Queen who had their fingers in this pot, especially when I am pretty sure Malek signed on before Singer did, and Malek’s inability to get along with that creep was part of what got…

Wait, he was in Twilight? The only movie I’d ever seen him in was Night At The Museum (where, fun fact, a dude in the crowd asked “what was up with the white dude playing King Tut” *facepalm*). The only other thing I’d ever seen him in was “Mr. Robot.”

I’m also curious as to what percentage of adoptions are adoptions-by-strangers and what percentage are either within families or a step-parent formally adopting their step-children. My extended family has a handful of adoptees, but most of them were either children adopted by grandparents/ aunts and uncles (because I…

Seriously, prominent noses and dark hair is bascially my whole type for both men and women. Driver and Golshifteh Farahani both  had me swooning all through Patterson.

Maybe all three of them are dating.
