Probably because if you recognize that you can feel contentment for even a moment without bringing a deity into the mix you might start questioning the whole religion thing

Thank you! It’s not even difficult! People saying “ask permission first” are still missing the facts of power dynamics, people-pleasing, freeze response, and the pressure placed upon you to just accept unwanted physical contact. I'll say "no" and still have people argue and act wounded or angry that I don't want to be…

This “brilliant” casting is reminiscent of Jennifer Love Hewitt being cast as the lead in The Audrey Hepburn Story.  

No, I’m not okay with this exploitation. A woman, her unborn child, and her friends were graphically murdered in her home because the person who had previously occupied that house had hurt a megalomaniac’s feelings. He wanted everyone in the house destroyed “as gruesome” as possible — knowing full well that the…

John McCain did not “love people”! He was a curmudgeonly jerk.  It was his most likable quality.

I don’t want to see Biden stop hugging people either—but why can’t he just hug up on people who have asked him to do so? I know I would love a hug from Joe! But it would be really easy for him to keep his hands to himself unless he gets a request to do otherwise.

I don’t think it’s eating their own. If you propose to be a party of morals that is against racism, harassment and abuse, you have to hold your own members to a high standard. I know that’s unpopular with a lot of people, which I respect, and I can’t say that I know every detail about Franken and Omar well enough to…

There are still too many stupid ‘all or nothing’ progressive voters and too many people who would follow Trump off a cliff to believe that until the voting’s done. Or maybe I’m just too cynical. 

Poor Georgia could have had Stacey Abrams, but instead they get this shithead.

I’m not a courtroom lawyer but I’m 99% sure cops don’t have the jurisdiction to make sure someone is a really a lawyer in court. That’s the court’s job and only the court’s job. The cop is there for security and to bring criminal defendants in and out of custody. This cop should 100% be fired but I’m sure he won’t be.

She’s done that on the show too, adding brown sugar and either butter or bacon fat.

I’m shocked a woman who gave a 6-year-old energy drinks to get high to perform in pageants does crack. SHOCKED!

They should have been taken away the minute she decided to bring the piece of shit man who molested her older daughter back around after getting out of prison. I mean, jfc. Clearly she cares much more about herself than any of her children’s wellbeing. 

“This should come as great news to Dave Bautista, Draxin Guardians, who put all the controversy down to “a smear campaign by fascists #cybernazis.””

I’d always wondered if Andromeda, Narcissa, and Bellatrix Black were meant to be a little bit based on Jessica, Diana, and Unity, and that makes me think they are!

“No One Betrays You Like Your Sister”

I bought this book about 4 years ago when there were a lot of comparisons to the daughters on Downton Abbey. It’s sitting on my nightstand and I have a flight next week so maybe I will finally start it.

I am absolutely obsessed with the Mitfords, especially Jessica (who I met and who complimented me on a review I wrote of one of her books and I almost DIIIEEEDD yes I’m bragging because it is the most awesome thing that ever happened to me). Her memoir, Hons and Rebels (sometimes published as Sisters and Rebels), is…

Ah, the Mitfords.  My Grandmother used to say that if you lined them up, you could hear the sea whistling through their ears.  (She also has the belief that one should take every opportunity to piss on their graves on their birthdays)

Lisa Maria Presely said the same thing.  She said when the cameras were off he wasn’t this high pitched shy guy.  He was actually pretty aggressive and didn’t trust anyone.  And cursed a lot apparently.
