I can share my personal experience: my great uncle, who played a grandfather-like role in my life, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer when I was 25. (He didn’t last long after the diagnosis.) It was the first time I and my younger brother really needed to step up to the plate as grownups in the context of our…

Please don’t marry her to Sam. I always thought their mixed-gender platonic friendship was very subtly progressive.

Actually, didn’t Sam end up getting accepted into a historically women’s college at the end of the series? With Clarissa’s penchant for video game programming, it’d be a fun dynamic if she grew up to be a…

Terry is not going to backdown from violent backlash. Terry is fighting the good fight. Terry is a fucking national treasure. NINE NINE!

This sums up 1996 for me pretty well.

your mention of a yin yang necklace brought back a distinct memory of Claire’s, which also involved mood rings <3

I think my first ever official tween girl outing to the mall, we were on a mission to buy yin yang and/or peace sign necklaces at Claire’s followed by lunch at Sbarro and dessert in the form of a giant jawbreaker from the Sweet Factory. Best $20 I’d ever spent at that point.

He died doing what he loved: eating shit publicly.

I don’t believe in god, but if I did I would say, “God bless these kids.”

RE: Starlene

If you compare some of this historic photos with scenes in The Crown - well, I think the show does her a huge disservice by rarely letting Claire Foy smile. When she’s photographed with Jackie O, she’s beaming. The young Queen had a lovely smile and the show pretends she never grinned.

Oh but you missed the best photo - where they are both LAUGHING

You know what's really good from a can? Hormel corned beef. The trick is to fry it up until it gets a nice crust. Toss that in an omelet with bacon and some cheddar and you're good to go.
