Like sanctions. But with your vagina.

If just applied to writing in general; I hate being told that, I never liked being told it at school and now; years later I repetitively hear an extension of this adage by being told to write about my life.

So that's what a Pinterest divorce looks like.

Like a company owned by a Jehovah's Witness could refuse to provide health insurance that pays for procedures that require blood transfusions.

I have zero problems keeping the GOT characters straight, but I do not know my multiplication tables.

LATE CONTENDER

My my, isn't this exploitable...

I've yet to see a picture of that baby where she didn't appear to have serious qualms about the situation.

I can get behind these Creationists. As reigning office champion of waste paper basketball, I DEMAND TO KNOW WHY I HAVEN'T BEEN FEATURED ON ESPN'S SPORTS CENTER!

I'm going to dispute you by citing Ursula K. LeGuin, who likely outranks you or I in writing chops and fantasy world creation.

This is especially dumb because there are so many ways these themes could have been explored non-offensively. Like, she gets adopted by her foreign family members and has to get used to living in and eventually loving another culture. I'd love that show because there are no prime time shows as far as I know that don't…

Yes, help me contort myself into something more acceptable! THEN MAYBE SOMEONE WILL LOVE ME.

My advice for number one: Just respond with "I guess I'm just not as insecure as you are."
