It kinda seems like a cool idea once I get past the nightmare image of my hypothetical baby falling 15 stories. And apparently it's still done today in Hasidic communities in Williamsburg!

Back in MY day I got fifty cents per tooth, and I horded those precious coins like Gollum. My day was 1998, btw. But thanks to Tooly McToolerson who sat next to me in class and got $5 per front tooth and $10 per molar I knew there was no Tooth Fairy because she'd never be so unfair.

Because power imbalance, not to mention a long and sordid history of white on black oppression. We don't live in a vacuum- it's not simply an act of one type of person taking on the appearance of another, it's white people yet again co-opting blackness. Which has been done for ages, historically in minstrel shows to…

Finders keepers!

*Look at each other* CHAR-LIE.

Maybe seriously consider if you want to keep the happy VM feels and just skip season 3...? It wasn't the worst thing ever conscripted to film, but it definitely left me feeling deeply disappointed in the show. Just... how they handled some stuff.

Not so great :( I could definitely bear some more tain- oh. You mean like defect! Eh, it's going okay.

So fuckin' hot!

My little brother bikes around town wearing a helmet decorated with pro-choice and gay rights stickers. I love my brother.

My mom freely admits I was born in February because of Immaculate Conception. I'd challenge her on that, but I don't really want to hear the true story.

Yep, this. I mostly read them because I was bored and my parent didn't let me watch TV. The lesson: always lets your kids watch TV or they'll be forced to read real shitty books. There's some stuff a 10-year-old can overlook like bad sentence structure, but you said it about the ridiculous 'scary situations'.

I totally agree! The horror didn't come from the aliens or the Nazi doc, but from the time period itself. Apparently the 60's were terrifying! Mental hospital "treatments" that were totally legit at the time, the nuns' idea of compassion, and the general treatment of women. The show wasn't demeaning to women, it just…

I have a thing for big, lanky goggle-eyed freaks. Especially if they're also on the skinny and scruffy side. Send 'em my way!

Eh, I mean it's all good fodder for nostalgia now, but even at the time I knew the books kinda sucked. The biggest problem was every main character was basically the same person, and a totally hateable giant pussy at that.

Woah. You are such a Claudia! From The Babysitters Club. Did you also stash junk food in your room and turn weird garbage into earrings?

NOOOOOooooooOOO!!! My heart is now broken as well. How could you, KA Applegate??? Maybe that explains why the Marco books were always better.

I don't know, they were so formulaic it was probably just like a big Mad Lib.

Yes!! I CANNOT allow Taylor Swift to sink her claws into Ron. I will avada kedavra that bitch so hard.

I think what she's saying makes sense, but it just reminds me of the mom and dad in Gone Girl where they're so grotesquely wrapped up in their epic romance for the ages that they don't notice their kid is a full-blown sociopath. But I know quite literally nothing of marriage, so. Probably not all of them involve…

Only if you're a ssssssssnake.
