“I could be Lebanese myself, I didn’t know that!” “I pick up sometimes that you might be Lebanese.”

It was on the cover of Time magazine like two weeks before the episode aired. Everyone knew it was coming. It’s part of the brilliance of the episode, that you keep expecting her to say it and it just gets more and more built up.

I remember when it came out and I legit cried and cheered in my living room. And then rewatched it as often as I could. It is perfect.

If you’ve never watched the HBO special she did like thirteen years later, which really marked her return to popularity in a lot of ways, she does an AMAZING opener about this whole thing and the years that followed, set to interpretive dance. It’s hard to overstate exactly how much of a career killer this was for her…

I giggle because it’s true.

THANK YOU. Couldn’t watch the trailer because I read the premise and went, “mmm, pretty sure the shark is the least dangerous thing you have going for you in that situation.”

Ugh that’s fair. That weird, sunburned feeling definitely had me refusing fabric on parts of my belly for a while.

For real, do not diss the mesh panties. They are amazing, especially when you’ve had a c-section and everything else is the spandex of Satan.

Thank you for finding me my next tattoo.

Whatever y’all are drinking over there that produced that amazing headline and first sentence, please share.

And I’m sure the maids weren’t at all concerned that they’d get fired if word got back to the boss that they refused to buy the kids’ lemonade.

All the good vibes are heading your way. Congratulations on the baby!

I hope Elizabeth gets all the supports she needs to move forward.

Yeah, I feel for her and hate that she’s outed as a victim like this, but if they hadn’t put her name and face out there it would have been harder to find her. It’s a shitty situation all around.

“If we are going to protect a woman’s right to choose, at the end of the day we’re going to need Democratic control over the House and the Senate, and state governments all over this nation,” ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO WILL FIGHT TO PROTECT A WOMAN’S RIGHT TO CHOOSE, Jesus Christ, Bernie, it’s not that hard.

Same. I had so many reservations about him, but I generally tried to keep an open mind. I’m done. I’m out. He gives a shit only about his agenda, and coming at economic progress from the whitest dude slant possible. Fuck progressives like that.

The makeover they did on him gets me every time. I know it’s a standard tactic, but man. They thought it THROUGH, right down to forward-combing his hair.

I lol’d.

In my thirties, have a child. Have only ever lived in progressive cities. Have been getting the question from strangers and people I know since I was EIGHTEEN. Stopped for a bit when I was in grad school, but picked up again right after.

Don’t get too excited about Chaffetz. Everyone hating him upped the chances of him being defeated by a more center or left leaning person. Now that his dumbass decisions won’t be central to the debate, it’s easier for a republican who shares his policy views, but is less known (tainted), to take over the seat.
