*fangirls forever*

I was so pumped about the third Cormoran Strike novel because I’m the biggest Potterhead in the world and I’ve read every word JKR has ever committed to paper (yes, even the lame short story about what dicks Sirius and James were as teenagers), and loved almost all of it. The book starts out as a fantastic thriller,…

Don't scroll down if you don't want to be spoiled.

I found this (blog) article very interesting, especially because I've been reading about one particular near-miss in Bulgarian literature and wondering how many more are lost forever, here and everywhere else, because of various regimes' censorship (as is the case with the author I've been reading about) or just…

Last night in the evening news here (Bulgaria) we were infoirmed that Aniston was pregnant with her first child and will be raising it alone. They said the actress confirmed to OK!. I suspect our newspeople could be seriously underpaid.

Does anyone know whatever happened to that blocking people business? I heard it mentioned several times at the advent of one of the bazillion interations of Kinja but I can't seem to find how to do it, if it's available. Help? I'd love to block some annoying trolls who get dragged out from the greys way too often.

I just want to say I took the time to report a bunch of photos of Hitler with swastikas on them, with attached Nazi glorifying commentary, to facebook and got a reply that the photos did not violate their community standards and weren't removed. When I reported a photo for pornography a while ago (and it was really…

Why has this 2-year-old article about bleaching your vulva been the top story for a fucking month now? I get notifications about it constantly. Dozens of them every day. It's really annoying and I'd like to know whom I can blame for it.

Well maybe I should have expected it, but it's been a very long time since I visited a forum with any tolerance for pro-life idiocy, but here it is, comparing people who have abortions to Hitler. And this is not an exaggeration.

I'm sick of self-appointed literary scholars shitting on Jane Austen. It ruins my Goodreads experience and Goodreads is my favourite thing online these days. It's a new rite of passage - express disdain for Austen to prove your literary credentials! And I'm dead certain if she were a dude they'd be praising her…

I really tried! I'm on episode 4, season 2 and I've been trying hard since the pilot. But it's ridiculous! First of all, it's exactly like Grey's Anatomy and that's not a compliment. (Cyrus is totally Cristina and the only difference between Fitz and Shepherd is the actor who plays each although there isn't much of a…

I can't post, comment or like and it doesn't seem like I can see all the updates. Anyone else? Or has Zuckerberg singled me out?

I started watching Scandal. I'm on episode 3 and they've been saying "leader of the free world" in every episode so far, multiple times. I fucking despise that phrase. Your president is NOT my leader! How arrogant is this epithet?! I usually seethe quietly when I hear it but this is getting too much, JUST STOP SAYING…

We're going to Greece. Originally I was supposed to go with my boyfriend, my sister and a friend of hers, but both her friend and my boyfriend had to cancel and we offered our parents to come along and they agreed.

And he hasn't even read a book of hers. But he's convinced she writes sappy stories about women's sufferings. And that in a gushing review of Wuthering Heights. There's only so much stupid, ignorant and ironic I can take in one sitting. I told him he needs to read some of her work first and he said "Oh please, of…

Shit, I wrote the entire post and Kinja crashed when I hit post. Trying again.

I just got a negative reply from a job that fit my qualifications exactly and I'd gotten fairly excited about as it involved doing something I thoroughly enjoy but is very rare to find on the job market. I feel like the most incompetent and unambitious person on earth, because I didn't do my best at the interview. I'm…

I'm exhausted. We've been having 8 days of anti-government protests. I've only been to two days because I was out of town before, but I already have huge reservations. I support protesting because our government is ridiculously corrupt, like, cartoonishly so. But the protests have been framed as the voice of the…
