Not really on the "Neil Gaiman writes strong women characters" train. I think he, like Joss Whedon, benefits from how poorly most men write women. Their female characters appear three-dimensional by comparison with the standard issue cardboard girlfriend/wife/daughter roles or the mega-sexy-hot heroines that a lot of…

"This guy from Bering Sea Gold: Under the Ice — a television show, apparently — kind of looks like a version of Jensen Ackles that never left Texas because he got a girl pregnant in high school and he knew he didn't love her but dammit he was gonna do the right thing so he got a job at the local Texaco station and…

It will happen, in time.

Because she wants the world to see what happened to her. That's why she did the interview in the video. The video is not showing up in the post, or that might be clearer. Sorry about that.

My friend (and fellow Jezzie) is a trauma surgeon. She apparently tries to educate these anal insertion folks on the size and shape of the object they desire and where to purchase said object, but most of them firmly contend that they "just had an itch" or "passed out" only to find themselves so fixed. Obviously she…

SHOT GLASS (BROKEN)

When I was ten, I was scratching my ear with a pencil eraser, which promptly broke off and became embedded in my auditory canal. When I went to the hospital, the ER receptionist asked my mother how to spell eraser. Snotnose that I was, I aggravatedly spat the correct spelling. The receptionist looked at me and…

There are no cats in america... and the streets are paved with cheese!

Well, had I described myself as "small" you might have a point. I would never describe myself as small. However, taking into consideration the context of this story and this comment, the point is that I am not a plus-sized woman, I have absolutely no difficulty fitting into any piece of furniture anywhere, so it makes…

We read The Invisible Man when I was a sophomore in high school. There was one black guy in my class (which is a whooooooole other issue, given the percentage of the student population at my school that was black), and sure, yeah it was a liiiiittle bit awkward. But I also think it was super, super important to read…

Can I just say a preemptive FUCK YOU to all the trolls and their insensitive comments about women's vaginas.

I can understand this kind of invasion of privacy if the authorities had a reasonable suspicion and it was done infrequently. But to be done on a daily basis? It becomes abundantly clear that the searches were done for no other reason than to harass and/or violate the prisoner. Atrocious!

Is it just me, or is Inspector Lestrade the yummiest?

I just want to beat the shit out of Sherlock for putting Watson through this. I want to destroy his lizard face.

I can't. I can't. I am simply unable to can.

Yup. I also got annoyed when I read "Donna must gain the confidence to believe in... the best in those around her, especially one surprisingly decent guy (Jake Lacy) who just might make this the worst/best Valentine's Day ever."

Dude, I want to see a movie in which a girl/woman who is in a happy relationship decides to get an abortion. Abortion is always portrayed as a last last last last resort to avoid some kind of tragedy. But I want to see a girl getting an abortion because she wants to continue her education as a non-pregnant person. I…
