Just breathing my way through an anxiety attack over here. On Fridays you’ll find me softly crying in my local library. Let’s trade book recommendations.

Hi! Burned out crone here!
“Barely legal” is not a thing. It’s either legal or illegal.

But then again, Megyn also thought blackface was fine.
First of all, a 15-year-old is not "barely legal." The age of consent in Florida is 18. So sexual behavior with a 15-year-old is rape.

Megyn Kelly is VILE trash for saying otherwise.

And Megyn Kelly is confessing to having insider information about what Jeffrey Epstein was up to but stayed silent.

Searched for “pudding mit gabel” on Tiktok and watched a bunch of German teens eating pudding together in parks with forks.

Yesss. As a certain mayor-elect said the other day, let this be the last time we have to utter Kim Davis’s name ever again

How is that the last episode of the Gilded Age moved on so quickly from a high stakes shooting to endless conversations about who will attend a ball?

Oh shit, the Duke of Buckingham on Gilded Age was also the Christmas Prince!

That feeling when you are a person of color in a predominantly white space and you know at least one or two of the people around is just waiting for the opportunity to scold you or discipline you in some way to prove themselves more superior.

Watching “I love LA” on HBO. I feel like I have seen this show before but not specifically this show…

I would love to ruin and lay waste to all my workplaces like some kind of corporate Ozymandias.
