What’s a hotep?

As someone from the area, I’d like to whisper that it’s named after its founder, John Lynch, who freed his own slaves and believed in the antislavery movement

Umm, Lynch(e) is an actual surname. Let’s not get ridiculous, now.

You’re a [10] if the first thought that comes to mind when you see a smoothie blender blade is a “seed-whirler.” Love it.

Playing against my usual tearing shit down and overall negative view of pop culture - I quite enjoy the choices she makes musically. And overall she’s not half as bad as she could be. So I’m OK with the coverage. They did it with her last record too. She wins in this bizarre pseudo feud with Katy Perry (who is a spaz…

east it wasn’t the wife’s name in the title. When it is your name, killing you off adds a fun little twist of the safe. In television, no one is safe.

I seriously didn’t know that the Love Comes Softly Series was a Christian romance. I read them when I was a kid, and enjoyed them greatly. It seemed no more Christian than the Little House books.

Yeah, I don’t know how to articulate it, but it’s always obvious to me when a story incorporates religion as part of the story versus when it shows religion to “preach.” I don’t mind religion as part of the story.

Yeah, he’s pretty much the best. I hit the parental jackpot, without question.

Women and MY DAD. I will forever find it hilarious and endearing that my dad, who works in a construction-related business, can fix anything, and plays poker with his buddies, likes to unwind with a good tearjerker of a Hallmark movie. When he’s had a rough week, my mom humors him by agreeing to watch one with him.

For what is worth, I *hate* the faithy parts , but they aren’t that big in the shows. I would actually disagree with the idea that “deepens her faith” is a big part of the stories. When they do bring faith in, it actually feels a bit fake and forced, and usually don’t last long. For me, its like anti conversion,…

Yes, let’s define the value of feminine pursuits by how much boys and men are or are not interested in it! Her son doesn’t give a shit, therefore it’s not valid! *Eyeroll*

Talk to your daughter about self esteem. She’s just 7 years old, afterall, and staring in the mirror that long is probably not so healthy, for her…

I just invented a new genre in my head - Hallmark Horror. I would love to see Hallmark’s take on a horror movie. The film would begin just like their cheesy Xmas movies - heroine has car trouble and has to remain in a quaint small town that is full of hot single men who all want to date her. But not all is as it…

Eh . . . in my experience, it’s not that dudes “don’t care about makeup,” because they seem to raise real issue with women who don’t wear any. (at least they have done in the course of my professional career) They just think makeup shouldn’t look “obvious” . . . so instead we should spend the hour and a half…

Not gonna lie, I watch the hell out of the hallmark channel from about October to January. I’m 27 and I find it super relaxing/very easy background noise for whatever I’m working on.

same.

I feel very unsurprised by this news.

Also, the Charisma Carpenter interview should have been the death knell in any idea that Joss walked the feminist walk.

It’s not that Loki said “mewling quim”; it’s how Joss talked about his joy over getting that line on screen in an interview.

I tiptoe on what I say about this issue. Because it involves private things, because guilty people think I might be talking about them when their situation is different, because it’s emotional for me.

“He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it.”
