And of course, let’s not forget who two of those Kingsguard knights were: Ser Gerold Hightower, the White Bull, Lord-Commander of the Kingsguard; and Ser Arthur Dayne, the Sword of the Morning, the greatest knight in the realm—and Rhaegar’s best friend.

Oh what the fucking fuck is that kind of fuckery? Goddammit, white people...

I recently came across the term “Toxic Ally Syndrome”, via Jim C Hines’s blog: someone who is “so determined to be an ‘ally’ of Group X that [they] ignore or argue with members of Group X because [they] know best. This is often followed by choruses of, ‘Why are you getting angry at me? I’m your ally! Fine, if you’re…

Ever since getting each of the DVD box sets on their release dates and slowly retiring my carefully recorded-off-the-TV VHS, I have re-watched all of Babylon 5 (well, minus much of season 1 and a few other episodes here and there) every summer. This last time, all I could think was: “I wonder if people would be…

As a queer teenage girl, it was wonderful for me to have Xena and Gabrielle, Babylon 5's Ivanova and Talia, and Buffy’s Willow and Tara in my collection of pop culture. Then, as a queer adult woman, having a franchise like Dragon Age with a big, colourful parade of sexualities is also really great to have in my pop…

They don’t know it, and the worst of it is, they don’t listen to the people who do. Since, clearly, lots of people who were alive in the forties and fifties are still alive! One of my cousins is an anti-vaxxer, and my parents were alive, our other close aunt and uncle, and our last living grandparent were all around…

I said this in the Gizmodo article about the HPV vaccine, but I think it just bears stressing based on your friend’s news: just because people so righteously guard their daughters’ “purity” doesn’t mean she isn’t at risk. It takes two individuals (or, hey, more!) to spread STIs.

And of course, there’s also that one tricky little thing: no matter how much certain parents freak out about and so vigililantly protect their daughters’ “purity” (bleah), and even if these sweet little angels really don’t have sex before they’re wed, that can’t protect them from the dudes they’re gonna marry.

Um...?

If Dude A saw Dude B walking down the street dressed in full basketball player gear, even if B had a basketball under their arm, and A grabbed him off the street, dragged him to a court, and then repeatedly threw a basketball at B until he agreed to play...

Clearly I’ve been online for way too long now.

I look great in a fedora and everyone else has ruined it.

Oh God please help me because I’m not surprised to read that there is hentai with shitting dick nipples

Ah, interesting, interesting. Good to know.

One could always make the assumption that since Chewie initiated the hug with Leia, that anything of an emotional/physical nature is on his terms because he’s 8 feet tall and can/could rip people’s arms off if he loses a game of space chess. Therefore, if he was radiating “Leia, I can’t with this right now” then she…

And his linkedin is already gone. Hmm. I suppose the overgrown manchild doesn’t want anyone harassing him/contacting his employer because, IDK, privacy or some bullshit. Can dish it out, can’t take it, etc.

Does this mean I’m no longer in charge of The Great Bathrooming of ‘16?

WHICH I DID. It was 2:00am.

Ooh, that’s an excellent point. They should probably have separate bathrooms or something (she said, tongue planted FIRMLY in cheek). We need to keep everyone from being anywhere near genitals that don’t match their own AND from being anywhere near someone who might be sexually attracted to them. It’s best if we…

I’m Canadian. I find all of this baffling. Canadian voting regulations dictate that you must show ID when you vote. You can use a driver’s license, your provincial/territorial ID card, or any other government-issued ID with your photo. OR, you can use any two of a very large list of other forms of identification, but…
