You know, i don't think she knows what she's doing but I don't think she's trying to hurt anyone. I think whoever was around her growing up failed her. I remember her coming out about sexual abuse as a child, she was thrown into the spotlight. She does need to step back though

For the record, I think Famous in Love was a cute, if forgettable show. Her storyline was one of the less interesting ones. I enjoyed seeing the background makings of a show, however fictionalized. (I should be more embarrassed to say that, but the truth it, I love shows like this that are a little soapy and a lot…

I was familiar with the name in the past, but had never seen her “acting” until I binged “Famous in Love” on Freeform (don’t judge...I was going thru a rough time emotionally.) Anyhow, it seemed to me her entire acting skills consisted of an open-mouthed duck-lipped stare.

So, normally the “older male celebrity dates much younger woman” thing grosses me out... but Pitt and his new GF are in their mid-50s and mid-30s, respectively, and that seems appropriate - at least he’s not dating a 20-year-old, like he most certainly could just by virtue of being Brad Pitt. (I don’t think he’s aging…

I can’t speak to actual scientific research in any way, but from a purely anecdotal perspecive I do think there is a benefit. I’m a pretty introverted person, not to the level of never wanting to go out or see people, but at the need more alone time than the average bear level.

I’ve been feeling this during the pandemic, too. Both 1) I can’t believe I did that to myself in my twenties, poor girl and 2) old habits slipping in. I’ve been WFH and schooling from home since 3/5. I barely move from my desk some days and so my appetite is low and it’s easier to tolerate or even appreciate the…

ok, i can understand this, but if no one’s invited you to anything in months, that’s a pretty sobering ‘read between the lines’ moment there, isn’t it, huh?

I’ve been to several outdoor barbecues this summer (all according to guidelines!) and the fact that social distancing means I can greet and say goodbye to everyone without having to hug and/or kiss them has done wonders for my general aversion to social outings. It’s really helped me to realize that level of…

Yeah, I’m not a researcher so who knows.

My issue is that as a middle aged woman who moved back to my hometown a bit later in life, an am divorced, a lot of my friendships are tertiary, or activity-based. Like I have a friend that I’d see movies with. Another friend who was always willing to try a new restaurant with me. A third friend who loved live theatre…

Things you’d rather not be doing but will because someone you care about has asked you to do so. Now, the key difference is that the events you choose to attend are not in service to an outdated social contract, but to the people in your life who matter.

I hate to see Dorinda go. It’s amazing, the way she’s willing to put herself out there (wasted and slurring on camera, wasted and loudly mean to people on camera). I wouldn’t be able to watch myself acting like that; I’d be horrified. Maybe having all of her money allows her not care how terribly she looks, acts, and…

I’m just going to choose to believe that she resigned. (I know it’s like putting my fingers in my ears and saying “LALALALALALA” but I’m okay with that)

Dorinda has been my favorite since Heather left, but it’s been hard for me to justify this season. It’s not good for her. I side with Sonja, who says that Dorinda needs to be shown some grace because she’s clearly in deep pain, but it’s also hard when Dorinda shows no grace. I hate it if she’s been fired instead of…

Dorinda has been my favorite since she started, but it has been hard watching her this year. This show can’t be good for her. 
I hope she gets some peace and healing. 

Agreed!! Another episode that always works for me when I need some sunshine is the gay penguins episode of Parks & Rec. There’s nothing Leslie Knope getting down at the Bulge can’t make better :)

This is exactly what I was coming here to write. The passive aggressive hateful comments that come out any time she’s drinking reveal a wealth of underlying unresolved issues.

That article on The Weeknd was long and well written and somehow Selena Gomez was your takeaway? You don’t read anything you comment on do you?

My next-door neighbor told me the other day that she has re-watched it FIVE times since the beginning of 2020. It was her favorite show before the pandemic, but now it’s just on loop as background noise as she suffers through holding down a full-time job while also going to law school full-time, all from the comfort…

Yeah, the thing about the Office is that even if it doesn’t tick all the boxes required of 2019 shows to be deemed sanctified by the sanctimonious, it still resonates with a lot of people.
