Shit. I've always worried that I'm too sincere. Now confirmed, I'll be cowering under a pile of ballasx.

You poor thing! I outlawed Pinkalicious. One book and I was out. Nancy, however, is not my favorite but rather tolerable. At least Fancy Nancy is vocabulary-centric.

I have only had one child, but have had the blessing (?) of taking care of my siblings' children at various points.

That is fucking insane. I don't think I have words beyond that.

"Once you stop feeling sorry for yourself and take those days in your stride, you'll find it's easier to keep smiling and even tempered."

Of course men's restrooms should have diaper changing areas. Their absence is a throw back to the notion that changing diapers wasn't on the list of men's responsibilities.

Yes! It's also been noted in immunology in the instances of enveloped diseases/viruses that are stored in lymph nodes alongside the DNA of the person who transmitted them.

I completely agree. I think that what the modern viewer sees as eccentricities and charm were actual mental illness brought on by years and years of stagnating in that house with her mentally ill mother. Given half a chance at something other than that, I suspect we would have seen an totally different version of…

I can see that. She absolutely exudes a certain East coast privilege that is quite off-putting - though often hilarious.

I don't know that she's a mystery so much as a product of her time and upbringing. I've always felt she was limited by her sex, her time period, her upbringing (women of lesser means became independent, though I think that was really frowned upon for her), the entirely gothic aura of lost potential and family ruin…

I know! My 90s punk grrl would be so proud of my thirtysomethibng self! I totally geeked out over it.

And ... Funny side note, I actually posted a comment to KG's instagram this afternoon to the effect of Terry was oddly occupied with your personal life and I found it unprofessional. And she freaking responded to me "awkward".

It's completely insane. I listened to the whole thing with my mouth open.

I read that, too. Weird.

Did you happen to catch the Terry Gross interview on Fresh Air today? It was a total shit-show. She asked Gordon questions like "what is your definition of sexy" and spent 90% of the interview discussing her personal life (particularly of late, the divorce, etc.) rather than actually treating her like the badass…

Haha! Mark is kinda manipulative that way. It's okay. We love love him, right? He needs to get his energy out. He's a man. Duh.

I think he has good intentions (i.e. his job $$$) and yet .... I worry.

I would rap Warren G and Nate Dog to my daughter. #notproud

Mark,

Early is so relative. Why even entertain the question?
