NO. Betsy DeVos DOES NOT get to be Ms. Frizzle!!!!

As an autistic person it blows my mind that people would rather have a dead kid than an autistic one.

Huh, my favourite magician has always been Harry Houdidn’tgrabmyass.

Out of the greys and a bump for this.

Around five years ago, I was a TA for an undergraduate literature course that had 300 students; there were two TAs and our job was mostly to do grading (sigh) and hand out exams and set up PowerPoints and stuff of that nature. Basically, assist the professor in all manner of tedium while she lectured. Due to a…

Dude, helpful ghosts can be incredibly nice. The ghost in our house was a dick to me throughout my childhood (I posted about it last year, but I would have to dig through last year’s entries to find my story), but after my father died when I was ten and my mother and her new husband got really, really abusive, that…

This story isn’t supernatural but it’s 100% true and probably the closest I’ve (knowingly) come to being in serious trouble.

Jurassic Park holds up extremely well, honestly. The female lead is wearing sensible clothes given her profession and no one stops her from doing her job because she’s a woman. The young girl is the hacker and Goldblum is the shirtless eye candy. All the dinosaurs are female!

I’ll have you know I waste time in myriad ways-putting crap on my face is just one of them, and it’s nowhere close to being the most frivolous.

Agreed. I like a lot of modern and contemporary art that involves techniques not traditionally considered “good.” I have enough of an art background to recognize that he’s clearly aiming to imitate and satirize specific artistic styles. I have no fundamental problem with someone choosing to paint a lot of Mannerist…
