Maybe It Was Actually An Unspoken Instant Agreement Between The Four Women On The Balcony: No Woman Should

“Maybe it was actually an unspoken instant agreement between the four women on the balcony: No woman should pay for the accidental death of that particular man. Maybe it was an involuntary, atavistic response to thousands of years of violence against women. Maybe it was for every rape, every brutal backhanded slap, every other Perry that had come before this one.”

— Liane Moriarty, Big Little Lies

“I resent you for the childhood I had. I resent you for your impatience for being scared of doing my homework without being yelled at. For all the kitchen cabinet doors you slammed, for slapping me, for all the bruises. I resent you for not feeling safe at home. I resent you for being ashamed of me. I resent you for all the sex I started to have when I was 13 to prove to myself that I could be loved. I resent you for my wanting to beat the shit out of everyone. I resent you for making me feel so fucking worthless.” Big Little Lies (S02E06)

I love that there’s this new sub-genre of movies being made about historical writers that were secretly lesbians (Vita & Virginia, Wild Nights With Emily).

But…where’s my Rachel Carson biopic about her love letters to Dorothy Freeman? These two wrote such intimate letters to each other that they met up once to specifically burn a whole stack of them for fear they would be discovered. And while their love was never confirmed…come on…read a few of these letters and tell me they didn’t love each other.

We could call it Hyacinths for Rachel. Or Summers on the Sea.

what? coconut smells great. it makes you calm and relaxed.

Are you–– I mean, are you angry at me for some reason? I’m angry with myself. If I had just told the truth, I would have gotten off, but you said he slipped, and everyone else joined in the fucking chorus
