Actually, didn't she request protection? Or at least hint about needing it. I remember Varys talked about making sure she wouldn't be hurt again (especially after the incident where Joffrey made her beat Daisy bloody), and her seeming relieved about that. She was terrified of Littlefinger, as she should be (dude's the…

I am still upset about Ros. I insisted to my boyfriend that Ros would be smart enough to find a way out of Littlefinger's grasp, move on to greater things, and end up telling her grandchildren all about the horrible people of King's Landing...and it would all be scary but far away—like Old Nan's tales.

It's kind of sad that since nutritionist isn't a protected term, I really think that someone should appeal so that it is. My mother has a Ph.D. in biochemical nutrition, but she worked mostly in developing nations helping lower malnutrition and, later (in the US) helping people with metabolic disorders manage their…

Look...during the trial of Pussy Riot's main members, their sexual history and anything that made them seem "strange" (by conservative Russian standards), was brought into court as a reason for why they should be punished. This would not have happened during the trial of 3 men.

Nobody needs to respond politely or seriously to a comment like the one OP left. Just because Lindy is a feminist blogger does not mean she has to engage every person that disagrees with her, especially if their comment is just "you're wrong; men do hand shaking like this, and you will never understand what it's like,…

I'm sorry, but I really do not believe that men are some magical species where ALL of their handshakes convey meanings of dominance, enthusiasm, competence, blah blah blah. That's the way it is for everyone!

Jesus...I understand that she may have antisocial personality disorder, but does she also have an attachment disorder? Her ways of acting out sounds a lot like one to me.

Steampunk really just means Victorian era (or Civil War era) with anachronistic tech. Whale oil is hella Victorian. It was used so widely that a whale oil crisis happened...and that's what caused the use of new forms of fuel and ways of powering things. The steampunk genre is based on the very quick and innovative…

I read the first 4 books when I was 9-10, and for some reason I imagined Cho Chang as a white girl with black hair and blue eyes. In hindsight, this is pretty hilarious, but, I grew up around a lot of mixed-raced families (like mine), and families with adopted kids, so as a kid I didn't really attach a certain last…

I hope this is your actual dog. Because that dog seems awesome.

Perhaps it's because I'm near the end of college and had to live through 4 years of losing several friends because they turned out to be this crazy but I now have no tolerance for such bullshit. That wedding semi-invite a a friendship deal-breaker. Break up with that bitch!

When you're a teacher—in a primarily black school—racial prejudice stops being a personal belief/thought/opinion, and starts being something that will stop those children from excelling to their potential.

I'm half-Dutch and moved to Groningen 4 years ago for uni. I grew up with the whole Zwarte Piet tradition but blackface was never worn (I grew up outside of NL in a majority black country). I hate hate hate when Sinterklaas rolls around and I end up having arguments with other people about how racist the tradition of…

I thought Wonder Woman wore a toga/tunic sort of deal when she was just Diana? I could be totally wrong, but since childhood that's always how I imagined her pre-uniform. Perhaps I watched to much Xena when I was a kid...

Well...I guess you could rationalize the bikini choice as something she'd wear "at home", but it definitely doesn't make sense in the setting of battle. Amazonian = tank, and tanks should wear a lot of armor.

While I see and appreciate the different body types this game has available for both genders, the clothing differences are GLARING to me.

Both.

When I was 7 I had a nightmare that the covers slipped off my feet at night and that some monster slithered from under the bed and nibbled on them until they were nothing but bloody stumps in the morning. The nightmare terrified me and I would think of it every night before I went to sleep, making sure my feet were…

This is not all that new...

While everyone is giving boob advice, I'll leave this here: http://sameatschildren.tumblr.com/post/459629155…

A friend told me about this and now I feel that it's my duty to pass it on to anyone else that has bra-problems.
