Ah yes, the flagship contradiction of the cishet patriarchy. The sheer amount of collective cognitive dissonance caused by this contradiction throughout the ages is truly staggering.
“my main form of coping with stress has been ripped away from me during a time that has been just really chaotic.” Girl. How I get you. I’ve mentioned this on your thread before in speaking about menopause…because I was you in a former life when I used to be able to run marathons. Two foot surgeries later and bone on bone now, I can’t ever run again. So, my advice…start a meditation practice and learn to be still during these times. It’ll save you as you age. You’re welcome. Because god, how I wish this was only taper week for me. (So run the hell out of that marathon! I am with you in spirit!)
But, damn, I just wrote about how Nobody Wants This was the only thing I have watched this week that didn’t make me cry, but I was probably lying - if it made you cry, I probably did but forgot 😂
Had me at increasing my word power, kept me at pumpkin bars, and Ms Rogers & Mr Bridges are playing us out? Wow-wee. Please give this person more money, everyone.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: fascists don't care if you call them hypocrites.
Also, love the Baptist Minister Rule. Another thing I've been saying for years is that "for American conservatives, an accusation is always always always a confession," but you wrapped that in a nice neat package and put a bow on it.
Also also: "a verbal Chernobyl"!!! Fucking brilliant!
OMG, did Nobody Wants This kill me? Yes. I am typing this from my grave.
It was like every one of my Jewish ex-boyfriends leaned into my ear and whispered in the sexiest way possible, "Still miss me, doncha?" FUCK. Yes, yes, I do.
While Robinson and Vance richly deserve the attention, I was hoping Melania Trump might be the nominee this week. Her new 'book' apparently asserts her support for abortion rights and that she is adamantly 'pro-choice.' This duplicitous bullshit coming from her at this late phase in the electoral cycle must be a cynical ploy to confuse voters. Flooding the zone, etc. Maybe next week?
"Eroticize in the sheets the same people he oppresses in the streets" - 🙌. I'm going to use this quote and say "As Lyz writes...".

For the record, Adam Brody was devastating us in "Gilmore Girls" when he was trying to date Lane, before "The OC."
Oh man, I haven't made it that far in the Gilmore Girls. I'm getting my aging Millennial mom card revoked.
Third season, baby!
We still have a few months left in 2024, but I think Vance is the leader in clubhouse for Dingus of the Year.

"a turducken of racism, misogyny, and homophobia" - brilliant writing.
this one caught my eye for sure.
So many great lines here!!

Possibly the greatest phrase you've ever written, "verbal Miralax for villains."
One of your articles also landed on the desk of President Joe Biden!!!

ooh, thank you for the Maggie Rogers/Leon Bridges!

You had me at the Baptist minister rule and you slayed me with the turducken of racism, misogyny, and homophobia. So good!

Ugh I have thought this same thing!
Let them rip, Lyz, so many great alliteration and quotes today, all repeated by my esteemed myamers. Immensely entertaining and so rewarding to read!
I was too old for OC, and have been enjoying Nobody Wants This and just discovered Adam Brody-oh my!
Belated Shana Tovah to all!
