Well, that was a groaner. :)

I’ve been doing that for so bloody long now that even when I hear someone pronounce his name properly, it’s instantly forgotten.

They don’t care. It’s a badge of honour for teenage boys to sleep with older girls/adult women. It’s a badge of honour for guys in their twenties to sleep with teenage girls (and a lot of people normalise that one, too, especially if said teenage girl is 16-19).

My two cents on the matter, and I’m totally willing to own up to it if I’m getting the grammar all wrong, because for me, that’s what it hinges on:

Yeah, one of my friends turned away to pick up a toy her son had thrown across the room, turned back, and little dude (all of four or five) was on the stove. So. Fortunately, the stove wasn’t on at the time. I guess it’s one of those, like, I’ve been told not to touch this thing and mommy’s back is turned so I’m going…

I don’t have kids. I know people who have kids, because I’m in my 30s. And the only family who hasn’t really had their kids in freak dangerous situations? The family who live by a very, very strict, severe code of attachment parenting. Like, the kids are five and three and genuinely get stressed out/anxious if they…

Oh, I have precisely zero doubt you’ve heard more about Knightley than about Ruffalo! I won’t say so definitively, since I can’t speak for the Hollywood-watching world at large, but I would be completely unsurprised if the vast majority of people had no idea who Mark Ruffalo was until he was cast as the Hulk for Avenge…

I was curious about this and checked their IMDB pages; Ruffalo’s first credit is from 1989, Knightley’s is from 1993. He has 61 acting credits, she has 54, and he’s also 18 years her senior. Knightley has had 2 Oscar nominations, 26 other award wins, 88 award nominations. Ruffalo has had 2 Oscar nominations, 27 other…

Yeah, microencephaly isn’t a big deal. The CDC says it can only lead to

It’s kind of like the whole thing with Hodor: we (the audience) and Bran know it was Bran who caused Hodor to, well, Hodor, but the people of Winterfell think that it was getting kicked in the head by a horse.

It seems as though any article about Trump, Clinton, or Sanders can have a lot of commenters talking about how “Well, I hate Trump, but I can’t vote for Clinton/Sanders because my ideals something something, so I’m going to have to abstain or vote third-party” or “Well, I hate Trump, but if I can’t vote for…

(I starred you for the Babylon 5 reference because it’s my favourite show and I love it when he it gets brought up here!)

There’s a brief shot in one of the trailers, that takes place seemingly at nighttime, with a black-clad mounted figure swinging fire-on-a-rope at what appears to be a wight, so, cross our fingers!

Okay, so...

Yeah... but no. I gotta say it: “My husband comes across/is super racist, but at least he isn’t Adolf fucking Hitler, that mass-murdering fuckhead*” is just... not a great bar to measure someone by.

He’s so damn hot that sometimes it hurts to look at him.

Maybe one day, I will be out of the greys here, but even if I’m not, I think it’s time for me to start posting something every single time trans people and bathrooms get brought up. So, here we go.

It’s weird to say, but I hope you’re right. I just don’t quite have enough faith in humanity to not believe that otherwise reasonable people will just start saying, “But these have all been hoaxes anyway.”

And so many stories like this end up being revealed to be false, if/when something truly bad happens, nobody’s going to believe it, no matter the actual evidence. People have gotta stop crying wolf re: homophobia in/from the service industry.

Welp. I haven’t seen that movie since it was released on DVD way back in whenever that was, and now I’m remembering that moment—oh! oh, and when Lavinia, standing up on that tree stump with the sticks in the stumps of her arms, opens her mouth and the blood comes pouring out.
