please give it to a plus sized girl this time. It’s one of the reasons why she was bullied in the book and why they used pig’s blood specifically

ANYWAY, that's my 2 cents. Real weird, very mishandled all the way around from a PR standpoint, and also pretty striking that apparently you CAN tell the British press to stand down and they will if the princess you're trying to protect isn't Black. SO.

@reneecallier @JeremyWingert79 And then amended the statement with more specific language and examples.

One of my hottest wedding takes is that unless you are somehow already independent wealthy (or semi-wealthy), you should not spend more than $500 on an engagement ring. YOU WILL NEED SO MUCH MONEY TO BE MARRIED. Especially in 2023. Screw anyone’s opinion about your ring.

not to sound like a pick me but i actually like it when a man orders me around, whistles at me, has me live in his mansion and raise his 7 pretentious children while he mopes around with his WASP girlfriend until i earn his affection by putting on a puppet show with the kids

@JeremyWingert79 My dad (a Southern Baptist worship pastor who actually has good taste) refers to these as 7-11 songs. Seven words repeated eleven times.

Newsboys lyrics, 1996-2002: '96: Isabelle is a belly dancer With a kleptomaniac's restraint Tried stealing Helena's hand basket Made a fast getaway But McQueen she ain't '02: It is you we adore It is you praises are for Holy holy is our God Almighty Holy holy is his name alone

@dabbinbeebs I agree with lots that I’ve seen here, but allow me to add another couple: Pushing Daisies and Galavant. I needed so much more of them.

Name a cancelled TV series that you wish could be continued

@TheeDoctorB I just used @flareaudio’s Calmer earplugs at @emeraldcitycon, and they made a HUGE difference for me! I’m an exhibitor, and I get majorly over-stimulated by sound. My company makes commissioned musical works (@OBPmusical) so we always have music playing, which I LOVE, but +

@thatwarcleric I honestly have no idea where I’m going to hang all the art I bought. 🙈

I bought so much art at ECCC that I’m going to have to make a THIRD collage wall in my room

@JeremyWingert79 Borodin’s String Quartet No. 2, specifically the third movement. I love it so much I have a tattoo of Borodin’s signature with the reference number of the piece. Also, for other instrumental (some in a classical style), anything by @OBPmusical.

What is your go-to piece of classical music for calming and centering yourself? I love Brahms, Rachmaninov, and Barber's Adagio for Strings. I'll take any instrumental suggestions but I prefer classical at the moment.

@megnotmargaret The very best hand cream I’ve ever found is sadly not available in the US, but if you want me to pick some up while I’m in Vancouver and mail it to you, I will 100% do that. Meanwhile, O’Keefe’s Working Hands and Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula are right up there.

I was on dish duty last night and now I have lizard hands :( so dry and crackly T-T

@the_barbanter Relish 🤢🤢🤢

What is the WORST Condiment?
