“The image of a woman suffering because of a man’s violence is, unfortunately, a timeless one. Practical Magic’s 19th birthday took place only two weeks after the Harvey Weinstein stories broke, and just a day after #MeToo rose to mainstream prominence. It’s relevant on its 20th birthday, too, with Brett Kavanaugh recently sworn onto the Supreme Court. The anniversary falls so shortly after women all over the country watched Christine Blasey Ford testify in front of Congress, already so sure of her own annihilation, forced to relive her trauma decades after the fact in an act of public violence. A community rose up for Blasey Ford around her testimony. That testimony and the conversation around it were a stark real-world reminder that we all live next to survivors of abuse every day, that the process of healing is a rough road, and that our moments of trauma still live in us, intruders in our lives.”

Jim Carrey Grinch said bitch, ate glass and threw a whole child in the garbage. He is an absolute champ and the only rightful heir to the throne.
I just love Nick so much, I don’t want him to lose his mom again. So I just wanted you to know: that one day – when he marries another lucky girl who is enough for you, and you’re playing with your grandkids while the Tan Hua’s are blooming, and the birds are chirping – that it was because of me: a poor, raised by a single mother, low class, immigrant nobody.
Day 24 features Bliss Cavendar (played by Ellen Page ) from Whip It (directed by Drew Barrymore ) 🖤 I love this gem of a film. It’s a coming of age kind of story set uniquely against the backdrop of Texas roller derby. It’s fun, full of puns and hilariously concocted roller derby team and player names, but it’s also a relatable story about finding out how tough you are, when you’re tough enough to be yourself 💪🖤
Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life—well, valuable, but small. And sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it? Or because I haven’t been brave?
