Oh hello, I'm BB. Don't expect that much.

This is a text from the man I planned to marry basically my entire childhood. Then he came out as gay. But! I’m just showcasing my impeccable taste in men either way.

R has decided she hates school now. This has been going on for about a month and I swear gets worse every week. Basically what we think happened was all her friends left for the summer plus new younger kids started. I could've put her in camps this summer but for 12 uninterrupted months she's purely loved every single day of school so I thought, no I'm not going to mess up THAT good thing.

Annnnnyway. Every morning is like a heart wrenching agony. It's fun! Hopefully this phase lasts all summer. It's not at all draining me of my will to live.

Controversial opinion: a straight man who styles himself like this is a belittling asshole. No I don’t have the raw data at my fingertips but…

Basically he didn’t like her speaking to people in public he didn’t approve of and he’s using “therapy speak” to shame her and manipulate her

She posted some texts that were pretty emotionally manipulative and at the bare minimum revealed him to be a controlling nut job.

I just have to say, once again, my deep mistrust of men has paid off because I have been thinking this guy is a HUGE asshole for years. He just did not seem like a nice person to me.

Eta: oooof the texts from him she’s posting on her stories are diabolical gaslighting

I’ve been thinking of the bear off and on all day since we watched that second episode last night. Not like, WOW I LOVED IT but more like it just keeps floating into my head. So that probably means it’s good.

It’s not like she hadn’t already altered her face by the point of this photo being taken but in retrospect this probably was the place to stop.

We’ve started watching the bear and I absolutely hated the first episode because it seemed so try hard but mainly because it went out of its way to be so “Chicago” and the main character talks like he’s on the Sopranos. I’m not saying I need pristine regional accents all the time but come ON. But then I watched the second episode and I was like…it’s kind of good. Maybe the accents were toned down or something.

I know I know Zuckerberg v Elon Team Asteroid but it’s funny

Follow me if you’re joining! Although I have no idea if I’ll post

I could not be less invested in the status of Tamra and Shannon's relationship. I'm not the biggest Shannon fan but it's very obvious Tamra will continue to fuck her over and they'll fight and then Shannon will (inexplicably) forgive her. Shannon is such a doormat.

You guys remember when Shane almost died from covid? Ok maybe that's a slight exaggeration but he was hospitalized in the early stages of the panic when they were shooting that cursed covid season. That was part of Emily's timeline on this show!

Nazi Ryan (Tamra's son) on his "life at the ranch*:" I'm in my own little world up there.

Uh-huh. Well somehow he still has time to post about drag queen being groomers on his instagram.

*he's a cowboy now

Everyone’s saying the Kyle and Mauricio divorce/not divorce is the new “Scandoval” but I fail to see how. I mean they’re a long time married couple and the majority of their kids are adults (the last one almost is) and they’re breaking up. It’s kind of sad (depending what you thought of their relationship he has long been gossiped about possibly cheating) but it’s a thing that happens. Idk. It’s no Scandoval. Now maybe if it came out Mauricio has been having a years long affair with Lisa Vanderpump…now I’m interested.
