i'm glad there's a post about this. i didn't really know how to tie it in to celeb gossip to make a post, so i'm happy you did, OP.

this genuinely made me cry. nobody cares about how horribly puerto rico has fallen apart, not even most puerto ricans. neither govts gaf, mainlanders don't care, and it's fucking heartbreaking to see how such a beautiful country is rapidly circling the drain.

I only found out about it a couple hours. The demolition news was devastating so the news that there’s absolutely no going back now, that such an important piece of scientific history was left to this ending, is so, so sad.

it kills me bc they've been begging for help since cable 1 collapsed, and they could have gotten it. someone could have found some damned funding. but they just don't care about PR at all.

contact is a great movie

It’s my absolute favorite film. I’ve gone to pretty much all the filming locations except Japan.. and Vega.

My husband's too. He made our two sons read the book.

Also, we say, "I'M OKAY TO GO" like A LOT.

:D
