It’s been barely two weeks since the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse broke free and reduced the earth to a smoldering pile of ash, but we’re still struggling a bit to keep up with the news in these trying times.

lol Johnny Depp is broke & just, like, okay:
“In December 2016, Depp was named the worst value actor by Forbes magazine, a title he also won in 2015.

They divorced in January.”
An Ask Polly on forgiving and being kinder to yourself that you might need right now.
