I won’t lie; I teared up A LOT reading that book. The creators, writers, producers, actors, etc at CTW were overwhelmingly dedicated to educating underprivileged children, and speaking to them in “their language.” The entire episode that revealed Mr. Hooper’s death is chronicled, and I recently re watched it online.

I think “#boycott” is my favorite part. It’s bold, principled stand that Joyce is making.

UGGH YES I used to work at weddings, and while I didn’t mind when people got crazy during the time (provided they weren’t breaking things, it was free entertainment for me, and everyone there already knew what an asshole they were), but I HATED it when they’d stay late and try to keep the party going because “we’re

By responding, the owner is letting the yelp-reading public know that the restaurant considers the comfort and enjoyment of all of their patrons to be a priority, and that obnoxious behavior is not welcome. If I lived nearby, this reply by the owner would make me want to go to the restaurant - reading only Joyce’s

Ugh, I had a horrible experience with one of those “We’re being loud? It’s a bar/club/concert/festival, everyone’s being loud!” people at a concert before. Bro behind me—who clearly wasn’t into the artist I’d paid dearly to see and probably won tickets by burping his ABC’s for a Top 40 radio station or something—was

Friggin’ Joyce. I hate Joyce.

JOYCE. She would.

Of course it was goddamn Bohemian Rhapsody, the official theme song of boring middle aged white people who think Applebee’s is a place to get drunk.

“Everyone else was having fun with us!!!111!”

I have encountered exactly one time in life that a random person singing in public was a good thing. A little tiny Italien lady at my local farm market/deli sings Frank (Sinatra) and company tunes as she cashiers - pretty quietly and totally not irritating. Every other time I’ve encountered it, my ears feel like they

I thought that was so weird, especially because of how fucked up she was during Season 1. I think her character makes more sense as someone who has never had positive relationships - and it makes her friendship with Boo more interesting. She was such a train-wreck monster that her development in prison into someone

And when you were a teenage boy were you a mad orgasm-bringer? Hmmmmmm????

Chang’s backstory was one of the best in the entire series, I thought.

All of those were great but Boo’s definitely makes my list! I loved seeing her in her element and then losing her shit on that homophobic kid. And it was touching...like, you fully understand why she didn’t compromise for her mom and simultaneously understand why she regrets it.

Okay, that whole backstory and episode made me break down sobbing. Ugh.

I thought Miss Claudette killed a customer who abused one of her girls. Unless that wasn’t connected to her...?

People who sing in public are the worst. No one wants to hear your out of tune ass serenade people trapped with you on a train or in a restaurant or a store. Unless it’s “Happy Birthday To You” and you are bringing me a desert with a candle in it, shut the fuck up and restrict your tone deaf warbling to the confines

To be clear, I called this last month and you all owe me $20 if it happens
