I mean, the men weren’t much to write home about either. Every single prince is a straight up dope. I always read it more as having higher expectations of yourself, regardless of gender, than trying to be something other than a princess, and striving towards manly pursuits. Cimorene thinks that most of the men are…

I had a really hard time discerning the ~point~ of this article. The title suggest that Improper Princesses are a problem, the conclusion just talks about how Beauty is different from the rest of them (which I don’t entirely agree with, having read a lot of IP books in my day). Is it just a literary critique and…

Then in 1980, there was Tamora Pierce’s Alanna: The First Adventure about a girl who disguises herself as a boy and takes her brother’s place in knight school.

I really loved Patricia C Wrede’s Enchanted Forest Chronicles. I’ve reread them several times as an adult, and I am so glad someone got them in my hands as a young teen. I definitely understood from reading those books, and from Ella Enchanted, that the overarching theme in Improper Princess books was that being…

I am really sad that this reality-tv idiot is replacing Bruce Lee’s son as Brandon Lee in pop culture lexicon.

Because of your picture I am reading this in Linda Blecher’s voice. 

Doug Judy: [to Jake] You trying to get your freak on with my sister?

Is she ‘diva-ish’ for the sake of portraying an in control image, or is she a general asshole? I’m very curious, I always liked her charity work. 

“I will pay the bail!”
“We don’t have a bail system.”
“That doesn’t matter. I will pay it.”
“But we don’t have bail.”
“Oh, so he can go?”
“No, I mean the system.”
“Yes, I will pay it. Even the most bigly of cost.”
“...”

I seriously believe 45 thinks he can do whatever (a president only has as much power as Congress and the courts give him) so it’s the same for other countries, if not more so.

You know the end of the world is near when Justin Bieber is schooling the POTUS. Oh, well. We had a good run for a few years, there.

Normally I’d agree but I think the ending is perfect. One of the few romantic speeches I actually find romantic. And having them be the final couple in those vignettes made perfect sense.

I don’t need Dem candidates in Red States to convince me; a latte sipping Coastal Elite living in The Bay to vote for them. I need them to convince people living in Red States that voting for Dems will not be as awful as Fux News will have them believe it will be and help us place this country back on the road to…

Seriously. I actually think the way she worded that statement is fairly crafty. She’s not saying “I love Trump”, she’s talking about what people (erroneously) thought they were voting for (lower drug prices, less corruption) which *is* what Turmp was promising. And McConnell *is* opposed to what Turmp promised. It’s a …

No.

He’s white. The kid’s white.

How any human being, let alone a person who calls himself a judge, could not look at the circumstances of this case and not be horrified, but instead feel sorry for the monster who did this is hard to wrap my head around even knowing how fucking misogynist this world is.

Narrator: sadly, they were not fucking kidding.
