You know what I loved? That she didn't end up with who you expected her to, and her friendships with the women in her group were significantly more important than anything else. That's something we don't see often in movies and yeah, it was a little over the top but that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate it. Plus,

Let John Barrowman hug the tears away.

It's titled "Baby Bear Yoink" in my gif folder and it makes my day every time I get to use it.

LUTHER. Idris Elba being hot and badass. Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Sleep Walk with Me. Can Mr Smith Go to Washington Anymore? Teen Wolf is actually a lot of fun when you're in the mood. I love good old fashioned BBC drama/mysteries, so I love stuff like Doc Martin and Poirot.

I love this tip! Surprised to learn how few people know about it.

I know this is totally unrelated but with the new Kinja layout I'm noticing these things: Madeleine Davies that picture of you is lovely and I covet your shirt.

Bender is the BEST F-off inspiration because he LOVES himself and HATES everyone else equally (besides his friend the turtle). There's no discrimination in Bender, just universal disdain and a supreme confidence.

There was a great post today from a man who tweeted to the project "Going into the bathroom to change my daughters nappy and being unable to due to lack of facilities" or something like that. It had never even occurred to me that this was an issue, and I know it's not as serious as assault, but it reminded me that

I think it's so much easier to act when you see it happening to someone else, because protective instinct works differently for yourself than others. Anecdotal, I know, but as an RA and a student teacher I roared into full on grizzly bear when I saw boys and full grown idiots teaching my residents and students like

Maybe if these two team up he'll understand it.

Was just thinking the exact same thing. Thanks for wording it better than I could.

Oh definitely. And when the tour is over, there's this big bar where they know how to make your favorite drink perfectly and George Carlin and Madeline Kahn and Richard Pryor take over for Fred and Bob because by that time you need a giggle and someone to tell you the truth about things.

If you can wait a few days to donate, that's usually better. They need to restock in the week after emergencies, rather than right away. And if blood doesn't work well, you can consider donating plasma which is especially helpful for burn survivors, I've heard.

I'm helping the only way I can: I sent money to the Red Cross and later this week I'm going back in to donate blood. I continue to call out heroism and the astonishing goodness that I've seen in some people. If we all love ourselves and each other just a little harder because of this, it means something.

Having been saved repeatedly from terrible asthma and my own stupidity (yeah, belt sanders do a number on fingers when they tango) I have nothing but respect, love, and admiration for emergency services personnel. Every time I looked at a TV today I kept thinking "Jesus, look how fast they got there. Look at all

My favorite of his: Point out to children all the helpers. Show them the people running towards the chaos, the people who are loving each other and healing each other. Remind him of the good that people show in times of grief and tragedy. Most of the time we can't answer the question 'why' but we CAN answer the

I seriously hope so. When I called my dad earlier we both had the same reaction: tax nuts or gun nuts? Not that either would make it any better/worse than anybody else...but I want something to blame.

All I can say is Mr Rogers. There's a whole series of videos from him on YouTube talking about how to talk to kids about grief. I watched them after Sandy Hook, I watched them today. They helped me now, and I don't think as 28 years old I understand it any better than a kid would.

I came here just to ask if I can turn in my human card. I don't want to be part of this club for the next few days. I just need a break. I think I'll be this bunny instead.
