Sally Rooney's critically acclaimed novel "Conversations with Friends" has been adapted for a TV miniseries on Hulu, following the adapation of her novel "Normal People." It's set to come out on May 15

The piece mentions how she once posted a photo on Instagram and thanked her children's nanny by saying, "I can't stand playing with children so you've saved them and me a whole lot of boredom." Kirke says she got a lot of shit for saying that.

omg i forgot about that lololol

She's a little off the mark about overstating concerns about actor safety as inhibiting good performances, but I actually really like her willingness to talk about getting an abortion and her Instagram post praising her nanny. Let women talk about choice without shame and acknowledge the village it takes to help raise their children.

"As Kirke was reading the book, she said she thought: “This is marriage written from the perspective of a 22-year-old. I don’t think that’s good or bad. Her writing is beautiful but there were moments when I struggled to make something work.""

SCREAMING

This is HILARIOUS!

OP buried the lede tbh

She’s right and she should say it, Sally Rooney’s entire ouvre is just navel gazing, thinspo self inserts and apparently that’s all a basic white girl needs to do to make everyone fall over themselves with platitudes

[misoras]

She’s too serious for someone that fell into acting.

[mayjailer]

i've always gotten the impression that she views acting as something she does on the side, which probably explains her attitude and lack of "pr training"

[rihaty]

Yeah I think she’s more passionate about her painting than acting

[sudols]

I was just wondering this today, if she and Lena were close still. I thought not, since she wasn't a bridesmaid.

Also, does anyone know what the hell happened to Allison Williams? She's just been gone and unseen for two years. It's really weird. I know she had that divorce...but idk. It's so odd. Hope she's okay.

i was just wondering about Allison as well! getty has no pics of her in the last 2 years, she used to do a lot of fashion events

All I know since Get Out is that she got divorced. That’s all I heard

[ellyrianna]

Ugh still sad she got divorced because I looooved her wedding look.
