Except that bubonic plague (if identified and treated quickly) has pretty good survivability, and it’s already endemic to the US.

Eh, I’ll watch anything with Hugh Bonneville, though I think he’s best as a landlocked singing pirate.

And also, it means God wanted it to happen and wants her to keep the child because everything happens for a reason after all and it’s for her own good

Yeah, I thought her Met Gala look was great! I thought it did a decent job fitting the theme — it was just an OTT, exaggerated, campy version of what she’s known for (“wet look,” nude illusion gowns).

And who is exactly the right quantity of upset — a stoic person is obviously just regretting slutty consensual sex, while a hysterical person probably isn’t in her right mind and ought’n’t be believed.

That’s enraging.

Absolutely. Good girls don’t go to bad parts of town. Or leave the house after dark. Why would she be walking by herself, anyway? She’s obviously looking to get into trouble.

C’mon. We ALL know that if a sexual assault doesn’t happen:

Yeah. Kardashians and I generally have 0% style overlap, but I would 100% wear the newsprint skirt/tank combo.

I tried this as written and the cookies barely came together — the dough was dry and crumbly and had to be squeezed together to form balls. I should’ve used the whole second egg, used all brown sugar, or perhaps kept the browned butter covered while simmering it to keep a higher water content — but I prefer to whisk…

He died an impoverished, STD-ridden alcoholic and was buried in an unmarked grave.

It was definitely one of those “take a deep breath and count to five before responding” kind of moments, haha. I love her to death and know she wants only the best for us, but she was raised in a super fundamentalist culture (bordering on cult) so her entire identity is tied up in performative motherhood and…

It has nothing to do with my husband not helping (because he’s fucking awesome), but everything to do with the quote:

If you count laundry (gathering, sorting, loading, unloading, folding, putting away), dishes (rinsing, loading, unloading), and picking up after one smol human, I probably do 2+ hours a day. And that’s before factoring in the weekly/monthly cleaning responsibilities, like bathrooms or mopping.

This.

Found Jennifer Love Hewitt

Even the black tuxedo gown had a bit of a fit flaw — the gown didn’t smoothly flow over the ruffled crinoline underneath, instead getting visually interrupted a bit (in a lumpy way) over the ruffles underneath. When wearing a crinoline or hoop, you shouldn’t really be able to tell that it’s not a perfectly smooth…

Sure, but for all of Charles’ and Anne’s formative years (Anne was ten when Andrew was born, iirc), Anne was “the spare!” That would’ve made for a decade-plus of Charles and Anne being subjected to all the attendant privileges/burdens of heir & spare, including a more complicated relationship with their mom-Queen. By…

I think Edward is the baby (and the one whose wife is quite chill). Didn’t Andrew marry Fergie and cause lots of trouble?

Yeah, I’ve read that Andrew is the Queen’s favorite (despite his general asshattedness) because he was her first child (versus heir/spare). Makes sense to me.
