PSA: Real Chicago pizza — or the best Chicago pizza, I should say — isn’t actually deep dish.
It’s tavern style: thin crust, crispy & square cut. Trust me on this one.

it’s a testament to rhoslc’s fantastic editing that this wasn’t immediately discernible, as a lesser franchise shoves confessionals in our face because the ladies refuse to fight their battles in the moment.

i don’t really disagree but there’s also a comfort in the “new” alexis being almost entirely the same beneath the surface. she’s a remnant of the time when HWs were too blissfully unaware to hide their unsavory traits! the biggest issue is her edit lacks depth since shes a friend

iLove the new iCarly guys. if my review can’t convince, here’s a screenshot of my notes to convey why this is — somehow — the definitive reboot of our time
“iCarly” is back with cursing, drinking and the same off-the-wall comedy that made the original the definitive children’s show of a generation.

i actually think gatekeeping the right way to be gay and arguing any member of the lgbtq community is less queer than another is simply repackaged homophobia disguised as some enlightened theory. get a grip
queerness is so much more than just not being cishet and a lot of you don’t realize that you don’t qualify for the queer label if we are getting technical bc there’s nothing radical abt your existence and not championing for minorities in and out of the lgbtq community

Contrary to popular belief, the majority of viewers watch the Real Housewives to be entertained. Not to see “MEAN GIRLS” targeting people every year.
