Relatable AF.

ME: Well, I finally watched A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE. What spare, evocative screenwriting! And every frame looks like a breathtaking piece of apocalyptic French art. Have you seen it? You know I am an entire sucker for good disaster films and litera--

FRIEND: DOES THE CAT DIE????

I'm now working the only job I've ever loved, which is part of an Ivy League institution that tortured me for six years via a different job. But otherwise? This sentiment totally tracks.

Happy National Siblings Day to everyone who has brothers and sisters they didn't grow up with, learned about late, and may or may not have met because papa was a rolling stone.

I’m an only child, but as a huge fan of all three Greenidge Sisters, I’m making it a #lifegoal to have a gracious, slightly awestruck interviewer probe how I became such a dynamic novelist, playwright, and historian, which (s)he will refer to as “greenidging.” 

Per Poets & Writers via WGBH on YouTube: “In this Open Studio With Jared Bowen interview, playwright Kirsten Greenidge; Kerri Greenidge, historian and author of Black Radical: The Life and Times of William Monroe Trotter (Liveright, 2019); and Kaitlyn Greenidge, author of We Love You, Charlie Freeman (Algonquin Books, 2016) talk about growing up together as sisters and how their work often overlaps.”

nobody on this site is ever ever EVER going to top running a blog dedicated entirely to posting cute pics of sweet old dogs in a shelter for a year and gradually becoming one of the most recognized blogs on the website, then without warning dropping “i just want to get dicked down again =/” with 0 explanation and abandoning the blog. not deleting it, not explaining anything, just leaving the whole thing as a monument. fucking flawless posting. literally the best of all time.

Nya would never second guess her insistence on meeting Tinder dates in extremely public places again.

Tamlyn's future looked back at her with smiling eyes. Not only would she be a badass mermaid when she grew up, but she'd also be a black woman who gave zero fucks about getting her hair wet.

Shai, a proud born-again virgin, went a little overboard when she decided to do her part to bring chastity belts back into fashion.

Keely was pondering her tight budget and a $7 jar of almond butter in Whole Foods when she heard Kanye ‘Stronger’ West telling her to "go ahead, go nuts, go apeshit." The critics were right. Rap music was dangerous.

Aquanetta and her dad shared many things -- a love of bad jokes and small animals; an unspoken hatred for her mom’s rice pudding; and a complete lack of rhythm on the dance floor. But it would be years before she’d be able to teach him to light a photo so she looked more like herself and less like one of those things that dragged the villains away in ‘Ghost.’

Days later at a hastily scheduled performance review, Serena was willing to concede she might have been a little overdressed for the annual staff retreat.

Carol had a sinking feeling as she read her book club’s latest selection.... 

              How to Tell If You’re a Character 

                      in a Terry McMillan Novel

A siddity family member has married, cheated, or had unapologetic sex with a white person, but is being allowed to keep their race card on a probationary basis.

Budget beer or the finest merlot? No matter. Somebody’s been drankin’.

A good man is not hard to find. He is merely married, too young/old/poor/ fat, or being cockblocked by Mr. Right Now.

An olive branch is extended to an estranged relative or a dear friend with whom you go back like lawn chairs. They may or may not owe you money.

You overhear a squirrely male acquaintance noting with approval that an unhappy but fit and attractive woman of a certain age is ‘keeping it tight.’ Your eyes roll of their own accord.

An ex-lover’s sexual prowess is being referenced in either a mocking or wistful tone.

Someone is eating their feelings. They taste like chicken.

"You're too young to remember this magical thing called 'the internet,'" Darla explained to Joshua as she held up the papier-mache tchotchke with a nostalgic smile. "But before the zombie apocalypse, it was a massive global system of interconnected computer networks powered by cats, lots and lots of cats."

Zombie apocalypse.

Killer viruses.

A boyfriend barbecued by cannibals.

None of it mattered.

Nothing was going to keep Sasha from making sure her eyebrows were always on fleek.

Even Bethany's accessories reflected her fear of commitment.
