I'm in love with Bolshevik Mean Girls. I'll have to check out saved by the bell hooks.

Oh yeah, Little Mermaid. Although they're talking about striking a deal so she can get Prince Eric to fall in love with her. Do Mrs. Potts and Belle talk about anything other than Beast?

I think it's more vacant than sad. If don't use your brains eventually they drip out your ear.

What I really love is seeing the little boys (and girls) in my life getting really into books with girls as the main character. Or going for books that are clearly marketed to the other gender. In my day if a boy got this from the library, he'd be teased mercilessly. The kids I know don't bat an eyelash.

Or a standing ovulation?

Or maybe both. It's nice for everyone to be able to take charge of their own fertility. I know there's condoms (and STIs), but still- two lines of defence are never a bad thing.

Yay, pill! You got rid of my cramps and kept from becoming anemic from blood loss! Better living through chemistry!

I don't either, but collectively we put so much pressure on parents to be individually responsible for their children.

Does it though?

Are you saying she isn't a black a woman? When news is reported do you want fewer facts? Should we go to completely genderless and adjectless sentences in the news? We'll have to come up with neutral pronoun then because we wouldn't to say something like "he pushed her." How about "Someone pushed Someone...…

Clearly it's all Viacom's fault.

The French do this better. They have all kinds of strict rules for business v. personal letters and the sign-offs are intense.

those textured walls, tho. Had a place that was all stucco. Nightmare!

THIS. Finally I started clingwrapping the place Dexter-style to help with fucking mess, but I felt so guilty about all the single-use plastic. Now I just sit in a darkened room with all my cats and meditate on the many ways to hate men. It fills the void in my cold, bitter heart without having to deal with the…
