Solange has replaced Taylor and J.Lo in my Spotify most played list, thanks to all the mini-dance parties, BUT maybe that will change now that J.Lo’s face (literally) looms over me as I walk home from the subway. TBD.
At The Movies, The Women Are Gone : Monkey See : NPR
In many, many parts of the country right now, if you want to go to see a movie in the theater and see a current movie about a woman — any story about any woman that isn’t a documentary or a cartoon — you can’t. You cannot. There are not any. You cannot take yourself to one, take your friend to one, take your daughter to one.
There are not any.
Once upon a time, we had kittens and now they are big and off to find homes with someone else. :(
Yes x 1,000,000. One of the fun parts of working on teen books is making this feeling happen after every kiss, because you don’t know if it will ever happen again and it seems like all the forces in the world are working against you. A Guide to Eating Very Particular Feelings | The Hairpin
FEELING: The one where you realize you’ll never kiss a particular person again and even though it’s so trivial it feels like grief, it feels like someone has reached down your throat and is turning you inside out.
HOW TO EAT IT: Straight bourbon until you’re unconscious.
This times a million. So sad to watch Suburgs and Awkward go down the tube. :( Awkward.: Why Season 3 Has Been So Disappointing - The Telefile Blog - TV Shows & TV News - TV Reviews | TWoP
I feel about Jenna now the way I feel about Tess on Suburgatory. They are both ‘too big for their britches,’ as my elders would say, and I’m just tired of their whiny, entitled, boring shtick. They both started out as interesting(-ish) characters, but the ‘I’m so misunderstood’ and ‘I’m an outsider’ things obviously don’t ring true anymore, so what’s the appeal? Just another smart, pretty high schooler with a hot boyfriend. Color me not intrigued.” Hopefully the second half of the season will have Jenna, Tamara and Ming dumped by their admirers and back to square one, while Sadie rises to the top and makes their lives hell once again. You’re welcome.
Thank you, Charlesa, for the best (worst) way to break up with someone.

I wish this had been the case when I was growing up. Justices Decline Case on Graphic Abortion Images - NYTimes.com
The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a court order barring abortion protesters from displaying images of aborted fetuses in places where they might disturb children. As is their custom, the justices gave no reasons for declining to hear the case.
