There’s a picture of me at my 2nd birthday and I’m picking frosting off a cake and my face is already completely covered in blue frosting from the same cake. It’s one my parents have always had framed and family members had copies of themselves; it’s a very memorable moment because they all thought it was pretty cute…

am I wrong for not totally getting the point of this piece? Like the tone feels like “this is bad and over-indulgent because babies” but honestly
To have your cake and destroy it too is to parade the fact that such a luxury is disposable, as beautiful and sometimes expensive birthday cakes are made into babies’ playthings in smash cake photoshoots.
“I tell parents if your baby’s not getting dirty and doesn’t like to get dirty this is probably not best for you, as much as you would love to have this,”
Do people consider this a new thing? I’m almost 40 and this has been a normal part of my family tradition since before I was born, I’ve seen pictures of my dad and his smash cake on his 1st birthday. I think the new part is parents paying a ridiculous amount of money for a photo shoot. Seems like a waste of money, but…
Hey Mickey you’re so fine
Mickey the Idiot, indeed.
This is fucking heartbreaking and infuriating. I absolutely love the character of Mickey on Doctor Who, and it fucking sucks that’s now been tainted by Clarke’s actions. I hope whatever consequences he is due for his serial harassment and assaults is fully rendered unto him. His victims deserve justice.
Is Clarke a bigger deal in British TV and film than I know? I mostly only know him from Doctor Who as part-time secondary companion Mickey. I’ve seen him in a few other things, but I didn’t get the impressions he was some major celebrity.
Why would Catherine not been Queen consort when William takes the throne? William’s great-grandmother was Queen consort.
Military personnel are trained with the full awareness that any misstep might cause an international incident, and if it’s bad enough, the US government will leave them to hang in order to avoid jeopardizing foreign relations.
Maybe it’s the stories I read, but I remain impressed how the people we train to go overseas and fight can handle this type of shit so easily while cops lose their shit if someone so much as looks at them wrong.
This is absolute TRUTH, without a doubt. You can tell from his tone of voice and his body language he expects her to be unable to respond with a cogent, assembled and considered list of things. He literally thought, she’s just saying it’s racist, etcetera, because everyone else in their party is saying so. We do this…
John Kennedy is the perfect encapsulation of every bad faith white guy who “innocently” asks why a problem is racist or sexist. They don’t want an answer. The question is designed to deny oppression exists. Misogynoir is also crucial to Kennedy assuming Stacey Abrams would not be prepared to school him. After all she…
Kennedy pulled a “oh you like sports, name every player ever” and Abrams was like “Would you like that Alphabetically”
The Power Broker is just a title... like The Dread Pirate Roberts
I’ll gladly join you in that minority! Sharon Carter had two small roles in Winter Soldier and Civil War, and yet people are acting like this is some grand betrayal of the fandom. She’s a minor character given a hefty new direction, and I think that’s great.
I might be in the minority here, but I actually like Sharon’s heel turn, and it makes sense to me. After all, the woman was declared an enemy of the state and was basically a wanted woman, seemingly for the entirety of the blip, all for the crime of trying to save her country from an internal infiltration and support…
