For She Is What I Am

This blog is all about Mary McDonnell; occasional forays into liberal politics, The West Wing, 30 Rock, and Parks and Rec

Controversial opinion, but ur allowed to like things that suck

Like, sometimes there are just shows or books that are so goddamn awful for any number of reasons… But ya still like ‘em somehow, and that’s fine

It’s not required to write a 20+ page essay defending why you enjoy something shitty, you can just… Enjoy shitty things

Not all content is made equally and you’re allowed to like things that are far from perfect

Like, just, “This show sucks, but I like it anyway” is a totally valid response

“It’s comforting,” is a legit answer.

“I like reading about clothes,” is a legit answer.

“it’s brain popcorn, and I don’t feel like delving into something deep,” is a legit answer.

“I’ve read it so many times I can basically recite it, and it relaxes me by being familiar,” is a legit answer.

You don’t need to justify your taste.  Stop feeling guilty about liking things, or liking the “wrong” things.  Life is hard and bleak right now, get fun where you can.

It’s even funnier when I can’t tell which is which

Saudi journalist and dissident Jamal Khashoggi disappeared on October 2. Mounting evidence indicates that he was murdered in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.  

President Trump continues to defend Saudi Arabia, hoping to protect a relationship between the two countries that has directly contributed to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Yemen. 

It shouldn’t have taken nearly this long for the media to dedicate coverage to the  U.S.-funded Saudi attacks on Yemen.

Millennial culture is having two wildly different conversations with the same person on two different apps at the exact same time

[poorlytimed-deactivated20190607]

conversation 1: cheese borger

conversation 2: that’s why I think I’m so afraid of making myself vulnerable, because my father taught me I couldn’t ever truly trust anyone

sometimes u just gotta clean your room and apply an elaborate skincare routine and pretend that’s equivalent to getting ur life in order

why iphones gotta take two million years to turn back on after they die like you plug em in and you’re all ready to start texting again but they’re like “nope. i gotta take some time for myself. figure out who i am. you hurt me too much the last time. let me think.”

can u believe some people can see a cat & not immediately be filled with absolute unconditional love for that animal. they dont even get the urge to kiss them right on their little baby cat head. thats incomprehensible to me

Pros of being a Fandom Old: - never have to worry about my mom finding out about my porn fic - have seen it all before and give few if any fucks

Cons of being a Fandom Old: - forced to work at actual job instead of writing fic all day - have seen it all before and get regular “ugh not again” moments

Personal post! Reliving last weekend in Bonn and just a few days ago in Rhode Island. It was a whirlwind adventure, but it was so nice to meet some people for the first time, and be reunited with some of my oldies but goodies.
