Kinja double post.

No, I don't think they're referring to grammar. The trans asterisk is a thing. Although considered a problematic thing.

I'm going all the way up to the Bay Area, so all farmland and open road past the Grapevine. Vroom.

Potions. I loved chemistry.

I'll be driving up the 5 in the near future. It shall be glorious.

I have chronic depression so I've been in the same boat. I never stopped caring about any of my friends when I was depressed, I stopped caring about myself. The way I look at it, if someone can't accept that this is something that you're going through and instead is going to make it about themselves, good riddance.…

I've been that person and it's because I have cycles of depression. Unless it's specifically stated, this behavior isn't necessarily about you.

As someone whose grandmother is constantly suggesting that I go to culinary school and become a chef like it's a viable career change, I really should copy and paste this into an e-mail and send it to her. Maybe that would get her to stop.

Whoa, that makes me a different kind of nervous! I'm glad you don't have to put up with anything I just described though.

I'm the rude one

People need to know when it's appropriate to approach a stranger at all. Generally this isn't appropriate in a non-social setting. It…

If you made it to the end of the video you'd know the video said "keep it on or shave it off"... soooo...

Were all these people trying to play the Crucible in Destiny?

You can. My friend works at a bakery so sometimes I get free cakes out of it. I've eaten the fondant before and it basically just tastes like a harder, flatter kind of marshmallow. It's not terrible. I usually peel it off though as it tends to get overwhelming and the bakery generally recommends peeling it off when…

TV shows submit information on diversity to the DGA and the WGA. The DGA diversity information can be found here (including a list of best and worse) and the WGA information can be found here (West, in PDF). No where near all shows have women writers or directors. In fact, there are 23 shows that have 0 women…

It also doesn't make sense when Pierce Brosnan is number 8!

Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen (described in the books as having black hair and olive skin)
