First, who told Kenan he could speak. Shhhh, Kenan. Just shhhhhhhh.

To be fair, an atheist can also be a 'spiritual' person; atheism is simply a single position on a single topic, that being the existence of gods. Sects of Buddhism, for example, are atheistic, since they don't believe in gods. There are other religions as well that are atheistic.

It's amazing how backwards she has it. It's the Christianists like her who live in a tiny, grey little universe. The answer to everything is "God did it," with no further reflection.

Odd... the awe inspired by learning about the vastness of the universe and the microcosmic extremities of everything in existence amazed the God right out of me.

Maybe I misinterpreted the scene but I didn't get the impression that the pixie dust made Robin so he'd love Regina. Rather it went and found a guy who would fall in love with Regina if she actually had the balls to give up on her hate and go talk to him. The love is (or rather could be) real and the dust just…

I love Regina. Even when she's just evil for kicks, she's great. But to show her vulnerable in the way that they did yesterday was lovely.
Also, even with the terrible green screens, I like this season more than I expected... I think bc there is less Henry.

I seriously doubt that Smart "got over" her rape. We don't know her internal battles. She presents a polished front, but I bet she has her fair share of trauma. Your dad is being really thoughtless. People recover in their own way and time, but no one "gets over" being raped and just returns to the exact way they…

I think the problem is that the wrote themselves into a trap: The only logical way this story can end is with SwanQueen. Pull back from the story...look at the whole...all the story threads...and it leads there. It lead there the second they chose to create Henry and his two moms. I think they know the trap is there,…

The fact that there is any amount of snark and derision towards Jaycee Dugard is FUCKING ASTONISHING considering what site we are on. That little girl was not only raped pretty much daily for the better part of a decade, she was forced to give birth to two children. She was in captivity for 18 years, which is an…

:( will you accept an internet hug? i'm sorry your dad was so un-understanding. in my experience, there is no getting over but there is a slow getting past, if that makes sense/is any comfort.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. For your father. From his unfortunate case of cluelessness. Here's hoping he gets his clues back soon. Hugs.

Lying about WHO YOU ARE is completely different from enhancing (or even masking) your appearance. How do you not realize this?

This line of reasoning seems almost unreal to me - like if I met someone at a Star Trek convention, but dumped them when I realized they're not a Klingon. Or if you met someone in a tux, but one day you met them in sweats and think, "So this is the real you."

I'm going to say that a lot of it in her film is about HER experience, but some of the jokes are universal. The self-involved friend who makes it about her. The mom who thinks therapy is "fun" and asks if "you're going to talk about me." The coworker who doesn't like "angry women." The justifications some women (and…

In one of the linked articles, Lindy shares four examples of rape jokes that she feels "work". Not that they're "right," they work because they're making fun of rapists/rape culture, not rape victims. It's why, in general, jokes about George Zimmerman are funny but jokes about Trayvon Martin are offensive.

I swear to fucking god. She nailed it. The details are hers. But the omnipresence of the abuser - how it feels like a physical presence in the room - at work, in bed, on a date, at the market. I had this exact sensation just last Thursday and I'm so used to it, so attuned to it, it is just a part of my life. Years of…

Wow. Just.

What's your 5 year plan?

I put on make-up only when I want to look attractive, but I don't necessarily want to attract anyone. It's more of a vanity issue, so it's for me, but also not strictly for me; or technically for others but ultimately for me. You know?
