@ycsm1n and men are rarely judged harshly if they DO leave a woman who is sick; if a woman chooses to do that? scorned and spat upon by everyone. and staying when you don't want to, and not being and endless well of perfect empathy and cheerful selflessness? also scorned and spat upon

I worked in bookstores forever. Here are some 100% true stories from holiday season. Guy comes in, says his daughter needs a book called The Shrunken White Elephants of Style. We can’t find anything by that title. He doesn’t know the author.

They’d say “just tell me what it’s about!” so they could fake like they read it at the wine lady book group. I’m not proud of this, but I started telling them totally fabricated, wildly inaccurate versions of the books

He’s SURE he got the title right, and says we’re idiots because apparently all book people know it. It’s for writers. Then it dawned on me - and I was right. This is what he wanted.

Everyone talks about how bad the Ally Sheedy makeover is in BREAKFAST CLUB but the one that fully enrages me is how they did Annie Potts dirty in PRETTY IN PINK. I hate the way her selling out to be yuppie scum was sold as an upgrade, the proper thing to do. THE WORST!

Before we called them “Karens”, they threatened to get me fired because I was out of the hot William Wegman or Anne Geddes books on 12/22. Because there’s NOTHING a Karen loves more than a dog in people clothes or an infant in a flower pot. The fury! They NEED that book NOW!

My primary source of joy the past 24 hours has been the local news story about an escaped monkey called Momo. He’s on the loose, running amok and evading capture, drinking beer, occasionally biting people and generally causing chaos. I hope they never catch this hero.
