I need a break from how unbearably stupid the main couple is in the novel I’m reading right now.

Normally, I love this author; she’s great at those gut-punching angst moments. But right now I find these two UNbelievable and frustrating.

Also, I don’t actually enjoy best friends to lovers as a trope. Like, oh, you’re in love with your best friend? The person you’ve shared everything with since childhood? Your ride-or-die? And you’re not rejoicing? Because you feel like you’re betraying your friendship and/or risking loss of said friendship? Are you in high school? No, you’re literally a couple of 20-somethings in regency England? And you’re already married????? WTF.

if my guardian angel really has a message for me, why are they communicating it via advertising on tumblr?

Find An Open Shelter

If you are in immediate need of shelter during a disaster, use our shelter map to locate your nearest options or contact your local Red Cros

So the original tweet by Lynn Kawano is actually incorrect, the convention center is open to both locals and tourists. I say this only to correct the record, not to devalue the experiences of Native and full-time Hawai'i residents. Lists of shelters are available at the Red Cross and MSN links above (no idea if they’re a full list, but at least a partial). Evacuation efforts are focusing on having non-locals leave as soon as possible, while residents are being routed to shelters.

TWIGGY & WOODY ALLEN
My Generation (2017) dir. David Batty

“His first question was: ‘Who’s your favourite philosopher?’ My heart sank. I wanted to run off and burst into tears. I didn’t know any philosophers. And he probably knew I didn’t. When I said so, he replied, 'Oh come on, everyone has a favourite philosopher.’ It was such a cruel thing to do to a young girl.”

“I was desperate and trying not to cry but I turned the tables on him and asked him to come up with some names - but he couldn’t think of any either! Then he said to me, 'I suppose you’ve read Dickens,’ thinking I hadn’t. So I said, 'Yeah, I read him at school.’ In the end he said, 'Oh, I can’t interview her,’ and left the stage."
