Oh yeah, I feel you. I forgot to mention we’re not American - and I speak our mother tongue with my kids anywhere and everywhere - and even though we’re fair-skinned and blue-eyed we’ve suffered quite a lot of prejudice on account of our nationality. I don’t want my kids to experience overt prejudice until they…

I think that ship has sailed.

Same. I don’t know what’s the best course of action here.

Yeah, it also took me all the way back to high school. Even one of my kid’s teachers who saw me struggling got angry and said to me “I wish these other mothers would stop behaving as if this was high school all over again”.

As someone with social anxiety who has never got in, I find myself re-living the awkwardness and despair of thinking I should connect with other parents but being shunned over and over again, or worse, being sucked into the drama of crazy parents. As my kids started in a different school I just decided to let go. I’ll…

Now that the demographic that loved Lisa Frank’s designs as kids or teenagers are grown-ass women who have purchasing power this unicorn fever doesn’t surprise me in the least.

Awwww thanks! You said “GG” and I assumed Gilmore Girls and went “ooookaaaay, I don’t think it’s gonna cheer me up but lots of people like that show, it’s the thought that counts”. When I saw the Golden Girls I was like “fuck yeah, now we’re talking!” :D My morning is 1000% better!

Well, it seems that whole “guy I’d like to have a beer with” thing really mattered back then. At least he lives up to his reputation!

Dubya sans Cheney sounds like a dream tbh.

RIGHT? Whyyyyyy?

Oof, that’s a nightmare scenario. I hope this morning went better for you.

Good idea, I’ll swear off the news today, it’ll curb the awfulness. I was reading yesterday’s Barf Bag and it didn’t help.

Completely off-topic, but I’m having the worst morning. Had to drop my kids off at school as my husband had an early meeting; my youngest screams “pooooop!!!” And I have to stop at a gas station for her to do her thing. We get to school late and need to get in through the front office to register the late arrival…

A fungal flight attendant would be the worst case scenario.

My first thought upon reading that item was “oh shit, there’ll be a sizable contingent of people losing their shit in the comments”.

What’s worse, the kids will wake up at like 6:10 on the weekends and on Monday you have to pry them out of bed with a fucking crowbar. I wanna kill them.

Nothing has been or will ever be more disappointing than missionary position having won the sex vs. chocolate year. That was shameful.

I know they’re of Korean descent and that not all Asian people are the same. If there’s an all-Japanese cast it’ll be the best case scenario but with the endemic whitewashing in Hollywood any visibility to Asian actors is welcome. If Cho and Dae-Kim were offered roles and declined I would understand though.

An all-Japanese cast would be the optimal scenario, though with the endemic whitewashing in Hollywood visibility to any and all Asian actors would be great.

Given that exploring Samurai World is a possibility, pretty please GRANT US THE BLESSINGS OF KEN WATANABE, JOHN CHO AND DANIEL DAE-KIM ON TV ALL AT ONCE.
