I explained shade to my parents and my dad said: “There’s a word for what your mom does?” He now rejoices in pointing out shade where he finds it. He’s extremely accurate.

Thank you for the book recommendation. I need something to learn about Taft other than he got stuck in the bath tub.

Obligatory seconding

Obligatory comment petitioning for revival of I Thee Dread.

I know it’s supposed to be Jinger like Ginger but I cannot help but pronounce her name Jinger like Finger every time.

Remember that SNL skit maybe a year ago when middle aged men meet their future wives, who turn out to be children when they walk out?

The time: 1950s. The place: South America. The fungus: Panama disease (fusarium oxysporum). The resut: bananapocalypse.

muscles freak me out to the point where i start dry heaving if i touch them, but Dwayne Johnson is probably the one single person in the world with huge muscles that i wouldn’t mind hugging.

A little trivia: Johnson is the first non-white Sexiest Man Alive since Denzel in 1996 and those two are the only two since this started in 1985 (or three, if you consider Keanu Reeves mixed race). I would agree that Johnson is pretty sexy, though I would think his lovers would be afraid of him crushing them.

The big difference is that the Beasr shows he’s capable of change and becoming a man worthy of Belle’s love. I have yet to see evidence Drumpf is capable of that level of self reflection and change even if he wanted to. Also, pro tip, typing on a phone wearing weight lifting gloves is fucking HARD!

I’m very annoyed by everyone constantly screaming “Stockholm Syndrome” when discussing this story, so I’ll just leave this link here. It’s an analysis of the behaviours of Belle and the Beast in the context of that lazy label that doesn’t really apply when you look at it closer. I hope someone reads it.

As a the biggest historic clothing nerd IN THE WORLD, I am so disappointed in that ugly yellow prom dress she is wearing. I wanted a scene of her finding some obscenely embroidered baroque/rococo gown in a dusty trunk or something—that silhouette is so different to the faux-Regency look, it would stand out so much.

Als…

That tea kettle and son are 10 times more frightening that the beast.

In line at the grocery this morning, I saw the new issue of People magazine. I audibly “tsked”. The man in line in front of me turned and nodded. His young daughter announced “WE voted for Hillary!” Her dad prodded, “And why?” The child answered “Because she’s smart and nice, and he’s dumb and stupid.” So these two…

The worst week of my life was when I found out that I was not only crippled for life, but that it had been done to me on purpose by a doctor who had decided to misdiagnose my injury (and the injuries of countless others). He did this because it allowed him & his practice to perform procedures that would make my pain…

Aren’t we all living in our worst week ever?

“A masculine blend of Orange Flower and Jasmine.”

I’m so impressed at how great and put together she looks. How do you suffer such a massive and public disappointment and be okay? I would be wrapped in a blanket guzzling wine like Tami Taylor watching Gilmore Girls for like a month.

Good for her. #imstillwithher
