I didnt mind the ending but it felt unnecessary. Tris always had this self-defeating "I MUST DO ALL OF THIS ON MY OWN" mind frame that led her to where she is. Build up felt contrived. I think Roth was trying to demonstrate edge as an author and she could have done that by writing something real & compelling or…

These books are terrible. The premise itself is bogus. "Oh noezzz she's brave AND selfless. She brushes her teeth AND likes color green! Divergent! Dangerous!" What the fuck? If you ignore the premise, you are still stuck with a boring heroine who excels at everything at abnormaly fast pace & lacks empathy for the…

Thank you Jezebel, mother of a teen. After reading this, promptly had a discussion with her about Plan B, what it is and what it is not, how it works, and let her know that she can pick it up from a pharmacy or planned parenthood without parental consent—and also let her know that given the politics of slut shaming…

Well, believe it.

I think you have just introduced me to my newest hobby, hate pinning. Thank you. I am going to work on that tonight.

I think Mockingjay is fucking brilliant. I love that District 13 and the Rebellion is treated unsentimentally. For instance (AND MAJOR SPOILERS) I love that Katniss continues to be abused as the centerpiece of a propaganda machine. (This time the rebellion's.) And I love that we see Gale ultimately corrupted, and then…

OH MY GOSH MAGS. Any time she was on screen I whimpered a little.

Gotta be a tie between "You can get HIV from having anal sex, even if your partner doesn't have the HIV virus" and "Condoms cause cancer, so don't have sex until you're married so you won't have to use them." Freshman year sex ed, public school, California, early 2000s.

Dear asshole,

There is a special place in hell for people who mistreat wait staff. This is a HUGE RED FLAG and should never be ignored or justified. I once walked away from a first date mid-bite b/c the guy I was with was mean to our server. I told him I was going to the bathroom. What I didn't tell him was I was going to the…

'Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these,you did not do for me.'

Problem is, your emotional toolbox is all rusted and laced with tetanus. And since you're a dumbass, you never got your booster shot.

I just want to understand his pants. Why? Can someone just give me the why?

Yes! This! At my Express (8 years ago) on top of only wearing current jeans, we HAD to wear jeans for the Saturday shift (to encourage denim purchases for Saturday night outfits — jeans and a dressy top are more expensive than a dress). Which means, with the style turnaround, I had to buy a new pair of jeans literally…

Here's the performance that elicited the best audience reaction of all time. You can watch it below if you feel like being embarrassed forever. Update: Apparently the Smith family jaw-drop was prompted by Lady Gaga's performance. It's still an apt reaction to the show as a whole.
