You know what? I think Grace Chasity did the right thing in having sex with Max on that football field to save everyone. I really she did the only remotely right thing she could've done in that situation despite it's severe weirdness. Because in the Old Testament, Tamar was actually rewarded by God (as an original genealogical member of the line that would make Jesus) for saving herself in her patriarchal society by (in last resort) purposefully getting pregnant by her father-in-law.

People say Tumblr died.
But it didn't, what happened was the most toxic people and the most shallow people left and others just moved on.

The Diplomat is sort of The Thick of It meets (a bit of) Downton Abbey meets The West Wing meets a very heavy dose of Spooks, which, of course, means I am in complete love with it. Also, it’s got a main character with messy hair who loves wearing black pants daily and has her hands in her pockets all the time, there was no way I wasn’t going to love her and it.
Also, bloody excellent portrayal of a long-term relationship on the rocks between people who have also been working together professionally for a long time. The way you know how the other person thinks, acts, and desires. And the way they managed to write some quiet beauty into the private scenes in between the politics and the shenanigans.
I have a feeling the median age of tumblr might just be a bit too much on the young side for The Diplomat to ever turn into a big thing here, but...if any of you liked the shows I named above, and haven’t seen this one...give it a try.

The peace of mind I have gained from living alone is priceless. I notice I'm a lot happier, I'm a lot less stressed out, and a lot more content with where I am in life. I've been able to accomplish a lot while living alone too, which is beyond invaluable.

I really loved that you asked me and I would love more if you would do more.
Unfortunately i don’t have anything interesting to say, but being honest is always interesting, right?
