listen; have presence

Didi points to where he was standing when the terrorists arrived the night of Nov. 13, when he was on duty as a security guard outside the Bataclan concert hall. The gunmen massacred 90 people that night, in a killing spree that lasted nearly two hours. They were “shooting when they arrived,” Didi says.

“There was nothing you could do,” he says. “I told myself, I’ve got to quickly get as many people out of there as possible because these terrorists have come to kill as many people as they can.”

Didi, 35, doesn’t want to give his last name for fear that someone involved in the attacks may try to find him.

WOW, it’s almost like it’s everything tumblr’s always talking about wanting!

it is seriously, genuinely funny

it’s really honest about friendship and female friendship in particular. the two talk frankly about sex. they have uncomfortable moments but are usually so believably comfortable around each other. in one episode, the proof of their friendship comes with sharing their food.

one of the stars is golden globe winner gina rodriguez, basically considered by everyone to be the best new star of the 2014-2015 tv season.

she’s otherwise known as the woman who gave the amazingly inspiring speech about trying to represent latina characters in the media. 

the other star is kristolyn lloyd, who is equally funny and beautiful and talented in this!!
