Yeah, even in American people will still shoot protected species like wolves on or around their protected habitat because “MY CATTLE!” In Malaysia (or anywhere really, name a country!) a tiger, nose to tail, will probably net a poor person a small fortune for a fairly low amount of work (hooray! we can eat! Also one…

If you’re up in this piece using it as the usual Certain-Kind-of-Poster platform to smugly use a blanket denunciation on all zoos as animal sadness factories making fist-fulls of cash I would like to invite you to go vigorously fuck yourself for maintaining a tone deaf and totally un-nuanced idea of how habitat loss,…

Actually...the Sundarbans tigers started catching on to that too. But it worked for a while!

Thank fucking G-d my parents stayed married into my teens so my mother had NO opportunity to spiral into this crap earlier than she did. The worst all out throat ripping venom dripping fight I had with my mom as a teen was not when I got caught smoking, or over any of the other weird teen stuff, but because when I had…

Ohhhh myfuckinggod. RABIES IS FOR REAL SHIT! Even I have a rabies vaccination I got as a precaution for a research facility I worked for where I had like 0% chance of coming in contact with rabies from a bite of a lab reared rat (upside: I was then allowed to do more stuff with less fear for wild animal rescue! I will…

I have been clinging to the stuff I bought from the “golden age” a few years ago where pretty much everything was what I wanted and the clothes I got were really well made and I could get my size on sale. The nicest best fitting pants I own I got on deep discount there. My magical perfect not-vintage sundress I can…

Ugh. That top picture is like, Peak Anthropologie. I like some of the clothes they stock (some labels bomb proof and really well made, some of it is cheap garbage at marked up AF prices) and cute and also often useless housewares as much as the next person (hedgehog measuring cups, that don’t actually measure the…

Nobody’s arguing your opinion of how well the house elf metaphor addresses real life slavery. Even knowing it’s leveld down ultimately for its target demo (kids), it’s pretty fucking dark that in addition to being enslaved (and surrounded by people who are like “meh, we’ve always had those slaves! What do you expect…

So, in a fantasy world because the slaves in question aren’t human, it isn’t slavery? In the books we see House Elves are thinking, sentient beings forced in servitude of other thinking sentient beings who use them as uncompensated and often poorly treated labor with little to no freedom. That shit’s slavery.

There are wizard slave owners in the current books! House elves :( I’m guessing there were probably a lot of big hearted German/occupied countries magical people (in my imagination) who worked as hard as they could to help as many people as possible, like all the real people who did the same thing?

This was a really dumb move for her, from a PR and basic respect perspective to just all around a bad piece of writing (IMO - NoMa.j is SO CRINGEY) How tone deaf do you have to be to be a person from the colonial culture that kick started where Native Americans are now, and shoot off a half blurb in a climate where…

If I have learned anything about Ruth and her historical exploits its
A) Ruth is amazing and I want to be her friend and do escapades (CALL ME RUTH! But only after I’ve had time to detox from caffiene because I’m not strong enough to go tea/coffee free for MONTHS RN).

(Bad jokes ahoy!) I suspect it’s more of a hyper literal Human Resources office, as in “So we need to source another class of storm troopers, can someone get on uh ‘recruitment’ and have 30 by Friday? Also I have like 5 captain reports on insubordinate feelings incidents to get through. Ugh! Mondays am I right?” And…

I was kind of torn on it, especially with every additional “light saber tantrum” incident, but if he’s as young as he looks and volatile it makes sense, but imagine being the Storm Trooper who walks in on your console all jacked up from light saber. There is NO HR contact for that.

I’ll admit I LOL’d in the otherwise silent theater when he took his hatmask off because like, he’s totally normal looking. I was expecting something horrifying (at the LEAST like, one face scar) and it’s just like, a person with shampoo commercial hair who looks in no way (IMO) like he could be Leia and Han’s kid.

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT. MOAR GRITTY WEIRD SHAKESPEARE. Have your Baz Lurhman Romeo and Juliets, and as many fluffy fairy stuffed Midsummer Nights as you want. A Macbeth that looks like Game of Thrones had a baby with a bleak, weird costume drama is my JAM. But this is coming from someone who still clings to her VHS…

He could get it when I was a young’n with my first TV crush (TM), and he can get it today.

This is true, we’re not in Tina Fey territory overall-thin-lip-wise, but Lena’s clearly working with her original lips and she looks awesome. I get why white girl lips aren’t going to be kicking out their own kit any time soon, but I’m down to celebrate on behalf of the lush lipped (naturally or otherwise). And I’m…

Is this the makeup compliment to the “lips like Kylie” challenge thing that was essentially “put your lips inside this shot glass and create a vaccum by sucking the air out and BOOM looks like a lip injection coz you’re lips are now inflamed and fuuuulll of blood and also maybe a little damaged but OMG so plump!” And…

I just came here for that perfect Cersei utliziation. Every time I think I want to *maybe* dip my toe in the lip plumper pool I see Lena Headey and think “It’s ok to be a white girl with skinny lips. It’s how your genes rolled out. You can still be fabulous.”
