One of my favorite things about Charlotte Stein’s My Big Fat Fake Marriage is the joy and pain of discovery Hazel goes through when she realizes Beck is who he says he is, but even better because he doesn’t know how amazing he truly is. It’s making me laugh and feel weepy too.

we seem to have started another day with this administration where even its fiercest critics refuse to name white supremacy's role in all of this. RFK JR isn't dumb. He is a white supremacist trying to justify starting up work camps and child separation. Call the thing what it is.
