I'm not sure if it's the glasses, the smile, or both, but he looks like Stephen King in this shot. Having a fairly shitty father of my own and being a big SK fan (SK is a doting dad and talks about his kids nonstop), this made me smile.

I am now going to show this statement to every SINGLE one of my friends who was convinced I was, and am, deranged. Bless you.

Reading this gave me a headache.

Right? I really like her in so many ways: I think if teenagers are going to take advice from celebrities, making natural clay toothpaste and spending time in nature are better than the parade of shitty alternatives.

That's crazy! We had a unit on it every year from the time I was in grade 7. In saying that, most teachers were very blasé about it and didn't spend the time on it that this one did.

1996? Disgusting.

"In some parts of the country (looking at you Chicago) you can become a school principal never having seen the inside of a classroom as a teacher."

Exactly. In Canada, a part of our Social Studies is dedicated to the horrific assimilation of the First Nations people. The best teachers I had brought in a lady who actually lived through it: she was sent to a residential school where they forced her to abandon her language, her culture, and her beliefs. She and the…

Just the best theme song EVER. I feel, legit, like I just time traveled!

I've been vegetarian since I was 12. My stomach revolts harshly when I eat deep-fried anything. But that deep fried butter? I know it's old news in the USA, but I've never seen it before. Andmytastebudsjumpedintheskyand holy fack-flip-flucking-flickker-facking-froopy-frippy-fack does that look good.

There's something about her that always seems dirty to me. Like she could shower a hundred times and still looked grimy and greasy. Abigail Breslin has the same effect on me. So does Katie Holmes.

Thanks for this post. It was so well-thought out and I loved how straight up you were. I get the heat when I say I don't really feel one way or another about Lupita Nyong'O (my eyes tend to glaze over when there's so much fawning over any celebrity. I have a low tolerance for second-hand embarrassment and the way…

I'm more puzzled about the arm. What the blankety-blank BLEEP is going on there? Is she fanning herself or what?

Here, here! This looks fantastic! Although I can't believe it's a period piece and it slipped by me!!! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE.

How did you manage to capture a fragment of a "I-ate-ice-cream-and-sour-cream-and-onion-chips-and-then-took-NyQuil-and-went-to-bed" dream FROM MY MIND?

Good call an good response. Have felt racism as a white person. Hoe refreshing to hear it exists from another person. Totally depends on your situation. I live outside of North America and I feel it ALL THE TIME. It does exist.

WHY IS THERE A PICTURE OF THIS THERE? WHY??

There's this amazing quote in one of my favourite Stephen King novels: "There may be fairies, there may be elves, but God helps those who help themselves."
I have all the compassion in the world for people who truly want help and take it. Lindsay doesn't seem to acknowledge its many faces. It's sad.

This is……..I…I am awed.

I hereby grant you the biggest, goldest trophy. How you did that….I'm awed. I'd have lost it for sure.
