I beg to differ. I forget my phone at home all the time. Sometimes I go a full day without it.

Came here to say just this! She probably comes flying in at the end, trousers and all atop her war horse Penny and kills everybody! With a flag! And then she has tea.

Looking at my state and am curious to know why the reservations didn’t show up brown? That seems... odd.

Dear god I wish. Unfortunately I was not quick witted enough to do more than ‘uhhhhhhh, yup.’

“I guess you do look like you could have some squaw in you.”

My grandfather in 1945. For some reason he was in Jinseu and decided to take a picture.

He worked at a gym called The Muscle Farm...

Oooooo, would not object. Admittedly I just want Dwayne Johnson to play pretty much everybody ever because he is one of my faves, but Jesse Williams is not a bad alternate.

Dwayne Johnson is perfect for Shadow. I’ve always said it and everyone I know agrees with me. Let us make this happen.

I pretty much agree with you, but just to be difficult, technically it could be considered a breach of a legal contract. So you might be able to take you spouse to civil court over it.

And as I said, it was problematic to cast him as Tonto, but we, as people who do not know him or his family, are not in a position to say he is ‘pretending’ to be a Native American.

I hadn’t read anything about that. Thanks for the link! It was a really interesting read.

When they make a biopic about his early years it should definitely be called Ungentlemanly.

Eeeeeeh, going to put my unnecessary two cents in here. Johnny Depp does have Cherokee ancestry, that is not in question, and he has been accepted as an official member of the tribe, therefore Johnny Depp is not ‘pretending’ to be Cherokee. This is a very politicized area of discussion with a lot of history of…

Do you mean Finnick? I didn’t catch any Gale lines in that.

Oh my god, it’s almost like when sex isn’t a big deal it really isn’t a big deal. Crazy. This right here is an argument for comprehensive sex ed.

Slogging my way through This Earth of Mankind by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. It’s really good but the translation is a bit stilted and I’m not that up on Javanese history so I don’t get all the references and have to take internet research breaks. On the lighter side I picked up my mom’s copy of The Secret Life of Bees.…

... nope. No it’s not. Because it didn’t actually happen to her. It was a choice that the writers made. They thought ‘hey how can these two bond over being monsters. Oh I know, we’ll make the guy not be able to have sex (worst thing ever) and the woman not be able to have kids (worst thing ever female edition).’

There are too many people saying this for me to reply to all of them, but I have to say it so I’m going to say it to you. It’s not really, for me, that she was sterilized and that she was upset by it. Whatevs, natch. The problem is that it was the only thing they focused on. Her flashbacks in the Red Room were 75…

Some of the turn of the century drama/romances would be pretty fun. Imagine Forster’s A Room With a View but in space!
