Looking forward to their response. BTW, it's Forrest in their house, not Lee.
Whoops.
Oh well. Confederates are all the same to me 😉

Hi y’all. I’m 25, big Instagram user, make fairly good money, and I do enjoy trying new products to treat myself. So especially shampoos and face products. So when a shampoo commercial tuned to my likes showed up on IG stories, I offered some feedback to the retailer and their 301k followers.
Let’s see what happens.

As horrible as Jill looks, she obviously spends a lot of time trying to look nice, twisted as her definition of nice is. It’s a shame her husband doesn’t reciprocate that with his appearance at ALL.

Salt and Straw usually has some unexpected flavors. My favorite is the pear and bleu cheese, but I also like their strawberry and goat cheese. One thing great about them being in LA is eating more than whatever the hell slop Jill and Jessa are cooking in Alabama. In my opinion, food is what opens the most doors to various cultures, and food is also something that can open peoples minds.
I mean, Joy and Austin couldn’t even drink sparkling water and eat fondue without expressing their shock at the “exotic ness” of it all. Meanwhile, fondue’s completely edged out of the trendy and exciting food categories!

The geotag for where they ate dinner is awfully close to West Hollywood...

Does anyone in the Seattle area know when this episode will air locally? A local special was on last night in its slot.
It aired at 10pm instead

Anybody watch Amy’s last IG story? She’s cleaning out her grandma’s closet, and posted a very heartfelt verbal thank you to anyone supporting them. She looks like she’s just spent the last few days mourning and has just made peaceful with the situation...meanwhile Jill is happily posting a bouquet of $10 flowers she got from somewhere

Speaking of the Bates, that little Bradley is the cutest kid I have possibly ever seen.

From the Instagram stories, this wedding is looking really beautiful. There’s also a video of the bride and groom practicing their first dance.
Gonna not comment on them also practicing a High School Musical style duet to each other.

Omg I’m an evil librul living in Seattle and I don’t know if I would dare wear the mesh crop outs in front of my fam. Love it on her though.

I got off a 12 hour flight from Seattle to Beijing on a four hour flight delay and headed straight to the Cinema.
Holy balls.
So much to unpack, but the part that gave me chills was when Thanos was so terrified of Wanda straight up destroying him that he ordered HIS troops to be fired on, just hoping that it would take her out.
“You took everything from me”
”I don’t even know you!” 😂

Maybe I’ve watched too much Legends of Tomorrow and AOS S5, but I don’t see how Steve staying in the past won’t completely blow up the timeline. Unless if he changes his identity and hides on a farm for 50 or whatever years, but then Peggy would still have to be living her original time line, or SSR and SHIELD will be gone. And I doubt Steve will sit idly by while Korea and Vietnam happens. So the only logical conclusion is that he dies, as Cevans doesn’t have any more films, and they can’t just write Cap off without another mention after this.
scuse me, gonna go sob in the corner now

Ooooh on the topic of age - AOS proves that the Kree should have longer life spans. In 2018, Cassius’s father looks to be human middle age, but in 2091 (?), his sons look mid thirties. Coincide that with the fact that Cassius has been at the lighthouse for YEARS, and still seems young...they probably live for much longer and age slower.

FYI there are still men (and even other women) that nag us to "dress more feminine".
Oh I know. My first boss demanded that all her girls had hair and makeup done nicely every day. To work at a bank.

Also - looks like prior to Vers and Hala, Maria and Carol were spending a lot of time in SoCal...which is where National City is. What I would give for a MCU/DC teamup where Carol Danvers met Kara Danvers... 😍.
Then she can date Alex Danvers.

1 hour ago, Dani said:I actually thought Wonder Woman was very feminist. That big difference is that because of the time period Diana faced more overt sexism while Carol faced a more modern and insidious form of sexism. The sexism is Wonder Woman is easy to condemn but the sexism in Captain Marvel is easy to justify.
I like Wonder Woman but it is telling a very different story than Captain Marvel. Diana’s story was a woman who already knew her own power and who had to keep asserting herself when dismissed because of her gender. It was a story of a god becoming disillusioned with humans.
Carol’s story is a woman who was continually held back and controlled who had to embraced her full power. It is the story of a human who realizes she is a god. The media is focusing more on “girl power” because Carol’s story resonates with many woman.
Diana is a woman that girls can look up to with awe but Carol is a woman that girls can look at and see themselves.
I want to be clear that in the next paragraph I am not addressing anyone specifically. It is response to the overall tone of much of the criticism.
I do agree that it is unfair to dismiss any critical voice as a “whiny male privilege fanboy”. The thing I don’t understand is why a feminist agenda is often dismissed as a bad thing. Why is there a problem with a female driven movie? It is hard not to look at the backlash and wonder what is wrong with my experience as a woman being the agenda.
YES.
Captain Marvel shows the modern, systemic sexism that we still see, and that is why I think people are turning into, dare I say, “snowflakes” about it. In WW, society tells Diana to wear a frilly crinoline and dress, that women shouldn’t go to war, and that love and compassion is not enough. These aren’t really things that I can relate to, as a modern day 20 something woman, but I can respect and revere Diana as a strong female figure and hero.
Carol got catcalled. I got catcalled last week. She was told to sit down and control her emotions. Hillary, AOC, Kamala...they’ve all had their abilities questioned because of their so called female emotions. Meanwhile men on both sides of the political spectrum are screaming and howling. Carol was knocked down and ridiculed by men at her profession, something we have all endured. When she finally found herself - the man told her that HE is proud of HER success, and that she needs to let go of her innate abilities and talents, lower herself to his level, and prove herself to him. He changed the rules right as she won, invalidated her victories, and took credit for her success. Which reminds me of Taylor Swift’s second AOTY Grammy win, where she encouraged girls to not let anyone take credit for their hard work and success.
Sexism is ugly. Sexism hurts. Sexism comes in the form of microaggressions and societal norms that are not there to help us as a gender. Captain Marvel subtlety put those sexist moments in their film, the same way we see them in our day to day life. Nobody is beating us around the head with a bat labeled SEXISM!!!, but those little things here or there are.

I was very overwhelmed by this movie, so I’m not ready to write about it quite yet. Everything is so beautiful right now that I want to take a moment and let it all sink in, and then write a real review. But my beloved Captain Rogers may have been finally dethroned as my favorite Avenger. That beautiful man held on for a solid 14 or so movies, but Carol 😍
That being said, two things.
Season 1 Glee fans, get ready for a hilarious casting moment. Nobody could understand why I was laughing so hard at a moment so devoid of humor, but um...Ken Tanaka
Second - the MCU banner broke me. I started tearing up the second this all began...I was expecting some sort of tribute, but not that.

Can a singer such as Jackie Evancho sing in a "normal" way? I'd like to hear it if yes.
I too almost cried at sand art lady. Unbelievable.
I am now obsessed with Sons of Serendip ... so so so good.
We prefer the terms “classical crossover”, or “pop style” 😉
She’s not that great...I think a lot of her success really still comes from the novelty of it all. She still sounds like an amateur compared to Katherine Jenkins, and she’s 18 now.

The clothes and items she has on her site are actually very on trend for the Instagram basic women generation! I see a lot of pieces that I like, but those prices are CRAZY!

OMG, you are right. That is one fugly looking dress. Who designs this stuff? It is perfect for the Duggar gals, it looks like one long modesty shirt.
I’ve looked at Amy’s site and she actually has some very cute (overpriced) stuff on there. Joy gravitated to ugly like a magnet was pulling her...

These five should’ve made an album - they sound better than the little girls by a landslide. There are fan accounts for how hot these boys are on Instagram, never underestimate the power of 5 mediocre white boys.
I mean...they sound better than One Direction when they first started. And now they’re all millionaires (and quite talented, I love all of their music except Louis’s)

Mick’s character has grown so much. He went from a murderous thug to a reluctant team member, to Chronos, then to his midlife crisis stage where he betrayed the team for a bad time. He’s now in the early retirement stage - drinking and embracing his life as an author.

The Duggalos: Jinger and the Holy Goalie
in Counting On
I don’t think I can blame them too much. When I was younger we NEVER ate out, and if we did...it was a buffet. We weren’t rich. When I got my first job and moved out I ate out SO MUCH. I’m still learning to cook again regularly. With her childhood the way it is, if she wants to branch out and enjoy some new things then so be it! Give or take a few years, it’ll all get old, and she will learn her own likes and dislikes.
My hope is that the cousins see the charmed life that their cousin Felicity lives in LA, with her fancy toys, expanded palate for cuisine, her “beautiful” parents (comparatively) and realize what a shit hole they live in. That they’ll want to get themselves out the way their aunt Jinger did.
