I don’t know the details of their adoption (& I can’t stand Julia) but it can happen quickly if you’ve been pre-screened & approved. I have a friend who went through all of the home checks & clearances in CA to get approved, got a call the day her kids were born, & brought them home the next morning

I love sweater weather but hate the time period where my body temperature is self regulating for the season

Not Christen Press making me sob at 9:45 in the morning

I’ll never forget her scoring that header against England in the World Cup & lifting her hands to the sky in tribute to her mom

What a gift she’s been to the game with her play, kindness & drive to get the USWNT equal pay

Thank you, CP23

It’s sooooo tempting. Speaking as someone who has owned her first house for almost a year, it’s good to get to know the house first and buy the big ticket items little by little. I’m still working on decorating 😔 Doesn’t hurt though to buy those little things as treats along the way!

Would like to see both takes, please and thank youuuuu

Also, big thanks to Mariska “Noah Benson Stabler” Hargitay, the biggest EO shipper of all

Of course she’s publicly blaming Leah. Of fucking course. I get she’s “standing by her man” but this is not the way to go about it. If she cared about her husband at all, she’d remain silent or at least not have her first public words be mocking Leah

I think she’d be a safe bet. I also have the feeling that the SR also would not put up with that either. The star definitely has more power to make that studio act quickly, and I have a feeling she’d definitely use that power for justice

Yeah I saw Eric Christian Olsen was one of the people who escorted him off set. And I do think that there are good people on that set with a lot of sway which helped the situation a lot. Based on her post, she seems to be doing okay, which is the most important thing in all of this

Yes, it should be the standard which it sadly still isn’t in that industry. I’m not going to speculate on why it happened so quickly (although I have thoughts); I’m just glad, in this case, she no longer has to work with him.

Karen @chasingjava.bsky.social · 8d

Is it bad that I’m more surprised they did ANYTHING and very relieved for Leah that they acted so quickly? I hope, most of all, that she’s doing alright and feels supported and believed

Listen. ONE of the reasons I rock with Dolly (Capricorn Gang) is because she’s always proven to me that integrity may cause you pain, but it will never be the reason you suffer. Which is not to say that suffering won’t come, but it’ll never be because you abandoned yourself. That’ll keep you going.

I hear she has supported school bands as well: www.thepinknews.com/2022/10/10/d...

Dolly Parton paid for band uniforms and instruments for kids at majority Black high schools with zero publicity, a writer has revealed.

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

Look, it makes sense logistically now that they’re reairing OC’s season right after the current season of SVU. You don’t want new viewers even more confused about the timeline and worry about matching timelines for hopefully future seasons 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
