This. I am so annoyed by the lengths to which moviemakers will go to ensure the man is taller than the woman. Women have literally been recast because of this idiocy.
I love that she's still wearing really high heels because he's not the kind of insecure guy to care that she's towering over him and she's not the kind of woman to compromise for a guy's sensibilities. Never been happier for two people I don't know.

I think it was Carl Phillips who said, “Poems are never finished, they are abandoned.”
“There is no ‘finish’ for a poem. A poem is open and unfinished to the last line. I put a poem that is not finished in a poetry collection.” @PoetKimHyesoon on the making of her poem in our new Summer issue. buff.ly/3Wc0g2m

This whole thread is punful.
For all intensive purposes, what idioms or colloquialisms do people seem to constantly get wrong?

#pitdark #PNH A photographer working in a small river town begins to see ghosts through her camera lens - and they have secrets to tell. A ghost story based on real ghost lore and history of Mississippi River towns in the Midwest, seeking representation.
