There have been some really interesting (and disturbing) articles written on the careful linking of professional sports to nationalist ideology/symbology and the armed forces. I’m going to try to pull some links and post below.

I just bought a Michael Bennett jersey. I have been a lifelong Seahawks fan but I’ve always kind of despised the NFL marketing machine. I already feel like a sucker but I’m gonna wear it to my families Thanksgiving gathering to rub it in my Trumpet loved ones faces. Go Hawks and go Mike B!
I’m still so young, so I’m just having fun.
Around the time of “Coven,” there was a comment thread on Jez or Morning After about hopes for the next setting for AHS. I’d thrown out an idea for World’s Fair-era Chicago, complete with H.H. Holmes, Sinclair-esque meatpacking and slaughterhouses, immigrants, labor issues, and Communism. Kinda sad they didn’t go…
Denis O’Hare’s drag queen was Liz Taylor.
When “Se7en” first used the conceit of the killer metal dildo, they did NOT show the rape scene itself— they just showed a Polaroid photo of the weapon, after the fact, and that was enough to make absolutely everyone scream and squirm. That is how you do horror!
implies the creators do not trust themselves as storytellers, or maybe they’re getting lazy
Honestly, the easiest solution to this problem would be to have both a boy and a girl each wearing the costume on the package.
My daughter wore a “boy’s” Frankenstein costume last year. This year she wants to be Mickey Mouse, so she’s gonna wear a boy’s Mickey costume. As far as apparel in general goes, she’s young enough that there isn’t any difference between her body and a boy’s body. So she ends up wearing lots of boys clothes. ‘Cause…
My mom is a spitfire. She’s a tiny, fierce, mean, Irish lady. She had 6 kids in 6 1/2 years. I have a ton of great stories about her, like the time she bought a huge crystal chandelier at an estate sale several hours from our home. Lacking anything to wrap it in for the ride home, she stripped down to bra and panties,…
As a person, I say, “DANG, that’s cold, yo.” As an English teacher, I say, “DAMN STRAIGHT.”
Did your dad take photos of him smiling every animal he killed. I hope not. Because the fact that she celebrated killing is the sick part.
Clothing with names is the #1 thing that prevents us for returning it or consigning it
My goal is SUPER Paleo and boil the shit down 'til it is GLUE and I can use it to bind large bones and hides together to build a garden structure I can sell on Etsy.
Yeah, for real. It's not like poor people haven't been stretching what meat they can afford (or what bones they can afford . . . because I have purchased "dog bones" from the butcher and cooked them down for marrow, bone broth, and gelatin for eating) for generations.
I laugh heartily at GOOP saying that one roasting…
Amp up your bone broth with this one easy trick that doctors don't want you to know!
"It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that appropriately planned vegetarian diets, including total vegetarian or vegan diets, are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. Well-planned vegetarian diets are appropriate for…
Finally, one thing America is better at than Canada! Take that, socialized medicine and responsible gun laws!
I am devastated. After every election that Republicans win, I think I'll move to Canada, the paradise of national health care and good manners to the north. But now, learning this, I can't ....I just can't.
Once I took my mother in so she could have a day surgery performed. We were sitting in that pre op room and she was sitting in a wheel chair. Unbeknownst to me they had already given her her pre surgery cocktail. The nurse came in and put this foil looking space bonnet on her head. We sat there in silence for a moment…
