Stages of a Harry Styles show

Stage 1: Before the show you might feel a little anxious and not too sure of what’s gonna happen.

Stage 2: In the middle of the show you begin to feel just an outright sense of comfort, love and joy.

Stage 3: Towards the end of the show you’ll feel like you’re a whole new person, like you’ve finally found peace.

Stage 4: After the show you’ll feel like the absolute best version of yourself and it’s all because you just spent the last hour and a half in a room full of people that love and support you including the man on stage you originally came to see.

Discovery / deposition humour is the best humour. Enjoy, lawblrs.

[emmeetslawschool]

this is the funniest thing i’ve ever seen in my life. holy shit.

[tinycanuck]

Still the most hilarious thing ever. Also, way too accurate. After doing enough discoveries, I can totally see how this is real.

the real victim in Pride and Prejudice is Georgiana Darcy, bc u know her brother spent at least two weeks lying around in his Regency Jammies eating Benjamin and Jerrold’s out of ye olde carton feeling sorry for himself bc his crush not only didn’t like him back but tore him to shreds in the process and Georgie had to deal with that and then said crush shows up at their HOUSE and she has to live w both of them probably stealing lovelorn yearning glances at each other the whole damn day while knowing if she even SUGGESTS to her brother that maybe perhaps his crush doesn’t hate his entire guts anymore he’ll just be all tragic about it bc “you don’t KNOW her Georgiana she dESPISES me and i DESERVE it”

Two Bossy Dames Podcast On LADY BIRD and Coming-of-Age Stories

Yaaaay! It’s a new episode of our Two Bossy Dames podcast, begun for Patreon, but continued now for all of you equally! In this episode, Margaret and Sophie discuss at length the perfection of Greta Gerwig’s Oscar-Nominated film Lady Bird, just in time for you to really dig in before the Academy Awards on Sunday (where it’s nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, and Best Original Screenplay, though not favored to win any). Then we extend the conversation by talking about some of our favorite coming of age stories.

Here’s the complete list of works mentioned during our Recommended Further Viewing & Reading section:

Rushmore

The Trouble with Angels

Strike!

Lucy and Linh by Alice Pung

Piecing Me Together by Renée Watson

The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and the Ruby Oliver series (starting with The Boyfriend List) by E. Lockhart

Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler and Maira Kalman

Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels, starting with My Brilliant Friend

One note: This episode was taped in late 2017, before Daniel Handler’s history of persistently subjecting fellow authors to a wide array of inappropriate sexual comments was widely known (though this is not his first offense in the realm of deeply problematic jokes). If we recorded the episode today, we would still have recommended Why We Broke Up (which is as much a credit to Maira Kalman as it is to Handler), but we would not have done so without making note of these reports. Hence!
