You got to warn your fellow Jezzies about those weirdly sexy, murderous-time-bending-wizardy-guys.

Would marry Sully just for the lifetime of epic cuddles. He’s a walking teddy bear who would hug you back.

*And* Abe is well read, conscientious, and isn’t all hung up on Liz

Mike Wazowski hardly counts as a monster. He’s just that nerdy, nervous guy you dated in college who was so much more fun once he relaxed.

Make sure you break up with him before he makes it (almost) to the Dark Tower though. Because, uh, you don’t want to be there when he meets Mordred.

Nope, I have no idea if she really means outing in the way I assumed. You could be very right and I could be jumping to the worst conclusion. My post was a knee-jerk reaction to the concept of publically outing a person as LGBTQ because it’s an issue close to my heart and not really a judgement on Mindy Kahling. I…

I agree on that. I’m jumping to conclusions and assuming it meant, “your friend who is not out is a bad person”. Which, granted, could mean a hell of a lot of things besides that the person is bad for not being out.

Not that I’m aware of. Can you even update Facebook with texts anymore? I thought that went the way of the dinosaurs when smartphones became ubiquitous.

Don’t out people. That’s shitty. No one owes you or “the movement” a coming out just because you think a person doesn’t count as LGBTQ without being out, loud, and proud. It’s quite possible you don’t actually know best for another human being.

Oh thank god it isn’t just me.

I find it a lot more upsetting now, honestly. When I see all the parts of my identity that have been considered expendable by society and by myself and I really look at everything I gave up to keep those around me happy it just infuriates me.

I’m realizing just how many decisions I made as a young person that sacrificed my happiness just to keep everyone else around me happy. Too many of them are irreversible at this point. It highlights the importance of teaching young girls that their happiness is valuable, too, and that they shouldn’t have to repeatedly…

I eventually caved after being married for three years and not taking a firm stance on keeping my name. I kept my middle and maiden name as two middle names and added his last name as my surname (which has cause way more HR confusion than it really warrents. People have two middle name, sometimes, it’s not that…

You know, I heard the term years ago and I’ve read the definition of it but I’ve yet to be able to identify shoegaze from all the other genres that rely on lots and lots of pedal effects. It all blurs into one big mess of meh for me.

Good. Good.

I’m old at heart and not-all-that-young in years.

You know when you read about a bunch of bands and play the “are they not that famous or am I more out of touch than I thought” game? This article. All of it.

Just for reference:

Sounds like those upset parents are tasting sour grapes over not being able to vicariously be the homecoming queen.

I think a lot of it comes from people who were spanked as children who have loving relationships with their parents. They don’t see it as harmful and it is so normalized within spanking families that it is actually very hard to be the parents that don’t spank.
