I Am All In Rewatch - Episode 2x17 (Part 2)

And boy did she rally for Luke? And I just I just fell so more and more in love with her character. Like what an outstanding episode for Lorelai. I mean, I think she could murder people from here on out, I'd still love her...Like mom, you don't understand what real life is all about and what loving other people is about, and opening your heart to an entire community of people is about. Where their status is not involved, money is not involved. It's real feelings, it's real values, you know. It's like treating people well no matter what station of life they're from. -Scott

Its obvious to me when people who post about canaries in mines have never met a canary. Like yeah the miners had a special device to revive the canary because canaries are one of the most adorable creatures on the planet and they make adorable little chirping sounds and honestly probably loved the sounds of machinery and people talking so it was probably loud and friendly with the workers. Whatever though maybe meet a canary sometime and youd understand

It's just an American robin but it looked so pleased to have that leaf for its nest.

Hey, also? Disliking certain gender norms (NORMS! Norms are not universal!) because you're either personally uncomfortable with it or because you have genuine societal criticisms is NOT "Misogyny!" A woman disliking another woman for personal reasons, because SHE as a human being disagrees with/is annoyed by HER as a human being is ALSO NOT "MISOGYNY!" Making harmful GENERALIZATIONS about "women" IN GENERAL is Misogyny! Words mean things!!!

Women do not have to get along with every other woman just because they're women!!! Women do not have to agree with or support everything that every other woman does just because they're women!!! Because WE ARE JUST PEOPLE!!! We have the full range of human emotions and unique opinions just like everybody else!!! I'm not a "woman" first and a "human" second! I'm allowed to have my own tastes and opinions, and I'm even allowed to be annoyed or angry sometimes! Women can be wrong or mean or selfish sometimes because they are HUMAN! BEINGS! To deny that a woman can be those things is to deny her full humanity!!!

I’m in my first ever semester of community college, I was super nervous the first day but seeing your quote helped me calm down. Thanks for being quotable I guess

I'm glad I was there.

Kill the mentality that a female character is “weak” if she is in love with a man. Love is not weakness.

Also kill the mentality that a female character is “weak” if she is kind and sweet. Kindness is not weakness either.
