Are fan campaigns a thing?

Carrie Coon is a phenomenal actress. Gone Girl, The Leftovers, The Gilded Age, The White Lotus. She COMMITS, and she’s one of the working actresses that you hear her name and you can’t help but be excited to see her work (or maybe I’m biased because she’s one of my favorite actresses).

She’s been getting rave reviews for The Liberation and is entering the discussion for a Best Actress nomination. I feel like she would deserve the nomination more.

My department was specifically told not to come in that first day. Almost a month later, we were told to use either sick pay or vacation time in order to get paid, which we did. I used sick pay. Two months later they're now telling us we have to give up a days pay or vacation time.

Can they actually do this? This fucking infuriates me.

I love everything about this scene. I love it, so. so. so much. Laurie's monologue especially. Her beautiful and brilliant monologue.

Potential hot take. I feel that Laurie, Kate, and Jaclyn were judged more harshly than they should have been. When the season was airing, the comments were all about how fake the women were and how terrible friends they were to each other. The three women have a complex and resilient friendship that goes back to back to their high school days. That's at least 25 years of solid history, and that's a rarity. Even most marriages don't last that long. Relationships are fickle, and we got to see this point of their lives play out after being apart for so long, shocked and surprised at how different they've become and letting it manifest a worser version of themselves to put on display, and yet by the end, their love and bond are both apparent.

Jaclyn's line "Most people judge me for my superficial defects. You guys judge me for my profound defects," spoke volumes about how she really feels about Kate and Laurie. Their fights were insignificant to her.

Kate compares her friendship with Jaclyn and Laurie to a garden that blooms after a long period of watering and nurturing the soil of it. Again, she said it: their friendship is her garden, and the girls themselves and all the significant achievements in life are the flowers. Their time apart still allows them to grow together.

Laurie and her brilliant and beautiful monologue, in comparison, speaks about how sad she's felt because her mistakes felt transparent after being with them for the week. She wasn't talking about the fact that she knew the other two were gossiping about her, but because they've both achieved a place where they're happy and content with how their lives turned out, while her own is on extremely shaky ground. Her "belief systems" (love, work, motherhood) fell apart, but Kate and Jaclyn are her true constants in life.

You would swear they hate each other, but look at how they speak at the end of their trip and the season. Their friendship survived well into adulthood because they accept that they're growing into different people constantly and they're allowing themselves to grow together, all their fights and squabbles be damned!

Very rarely does a scene or a monologue sticks with me, but Laurie's monologue in particular resonates. I know it hasn't even been a year and a half since the finale, but just being a year older than I was when the finale aired (32 > 33), her words feel more truthful now. You do have to justify your life choices and stuff, but it's exhausting having to do. If religion gives you meaning, great. If love gives your life meaning, great. If it doesn't, that's okay. She's right that time does, and it's great to be happy to be at the table. In turn, it makes me think of my own friendship with my best friend of 8 years and all the good and bad and ugly we've been through and now we're states a part, we're growing as people and it's letting our friendship grow.

Mike White is one of my all time favorite writers. He has a real knack for writing realistic and complex relationships. Makes me real excited to see what season 4 delivers.
