When you see a negative comment about something you love, try this simple test:
1 Did you love it before the negative comment?
2 Do you still love it after the negative comment?
If the answer to 1 and 2 is “yes,”then:
3 Why are you upset? Go love your thing. No one’s stopping you.

It's definitely time to remind folks (again) that George Michael was a gay artist who took a lot of shit, stood up for us at a time when it was *really* needed, gave a great deal to charity and died way too young.

If you have posted “Turkey Lurkey Time” to any social media platform today, please turn in your theater fan card at once. Your fandom has been revoked.
Migrating this one over from the old place:
If “Turkey Lurkey Time” is a Thanksgiving song solely because it mentions turkey, then “The Egg” from 1776 is an Easter song.

Watched a video of #EastEnders Christmas break-ups and realized/remembered something: the whole chain of events that led to Keanu‘s death was started by Bernie telling Phil the truth about Albie’s fake abduction. Basically, if Bernadette had kept her big gob shut, her brother would still be alive.

Spot the irony in this work email:
"We plan to send the proposal out in its final version on Nov 30th, so please let us know before then if you see anything that we have missed or miss worded or that you think we should reconsider."

If Lucy and Jesse could only combine, I could tell you someone who would finally feel just fine, Charlie Brown.
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on, Charlie Brown?"

Looking at theater tickets in my area, and all I can say is this: if you’re going to charge a three-digit price for a regional theater ticket, it better come with a blow job at intermission.

This morning, I received an email from someone whose last name is “Kummeth.” If that’s your last name, and you don’t use the nickname “Iceman,” then what are we even doing here?
