Ah, Bild. But still, your newspaper stands generally have a pretty decent selection. Even in the middle of nowhere, I could usually muster a copy of the Financial Times. The thing is, to get news you can’t watch the 24 hour channels. Sure, I’ll listen to Rachel Maddow now and again, but most of my news is going to…

You also have the advantage of a multiparty system. If one of the larger parties becomes obviously corrupt, there are plenty of smaller parties willing to take them out. Although not constitutionally enshrined, there is literally no way a third party can take hold here. This is largely due to our lack of a…

I now want to see what Lin Manuel Miranda would do with the Scarlet Pimpernel....

Uprooted was optioned- I admit I have high hopes for this...

There were more girls than boys, but because HS is HS, only the social pariahs were in that group. If you were in the ceremony or received an award, you had to be in the first couple of rows, and so you had to walk with a boy.

In high school, girls were not allowed to walk with girls- we had to walk with boys. In 2000. I walked with some guy I barely knew. They were extremely strict about dress code.

College on the other hand? One of my best friends had a lei his parents brought him, all the Indian students had Indian flag drapes, and…

I spent my first week in Germany wondering what the heck those signs meant. I’m glad we’re finally getting roundabouts over here, but can we please have the yellow before green as well?

I said this in another post, but gods I hate what they did to Carol Danvers. I effing loved that character. I am currently pretending that arc never happened, and those issues are admittedly piled at the bottom of my “to read” stack....which will probably never be read tbh....

This has been said elsewhere, but the huge problem is the sheer number of crossover events, the fact that they are not being published in order so the aftermath happens before the end, and the large jump in prices.

Marvel used to have the largest percentage of my pull list. I effing loved what they had done with…

You forget Kasich is trying his damndest to close all of ours as well. Dayton only has one left, and it’s being held open by a court order too. We’re rapidly approaching a situation where all of the midwest/northern south is going to be going to Chicago.

I strongly approve this Laura Bailey *harpmusic* gif

This. I’ve read enough horror immigration stories- is there an active way we can help?

An Avengers-style intervention? Oh please yes.

FYI, they make foamboard with a dry-erase finish. I accidentally bought some of this for the Women’s March. They had it at Target, if that helps.

Some bikers moved in behind us. When I met them, they were wearing NRA shirts, smoking, and insisting I come join their barbecue in front of their Confederate flag. I was honestly a bit afraid to say I was vegetarian...and my dogs were extremely skittish, which never happens...

So yeah, biker dudes.

I still cannot believe he kissed Michelle Obama. Just...girl, you do not have to put up with that...

I know there’s no chance of this getting out of the grays, but I just can’t. I really hope she’s ok.

And my advisor keeps asking why I don’t want to go into academia. Umm...no.

Why can’t we just start a vaccination catch and release program? Establish a herd immunity?

So honestly, I hope he keeps this up. Goes to every city in the Midwest, and then tours the South. Why do I want this?

Because this douchecanoe shut down I75. At rush hour. I know Cincinnati doesn’t sound like the biggest place in the world, but shutting down 75 is Yooge. A friend of mine was stuck in this…
