you mock, but what have YOU done to save the world recently? I mean, have you even bothered to kick a puppy?

Nice! I don’t think The Bell Jar or The Handmaid’s Tale made it into any of my hs classes, though we did get The Bluest Eye in one. I’m guessing maybe it was more parental trickle-down?
(I also had to read Rabbit, Run in some asshat’s class and write reports on it and such at one point, which: STILL PISSED OFF ABOUT!…

(seriously? I knew dozens of people in jr high/hs that had it on their shelves with sci fi and fantasy, who’d never heard of The Yellow Wallpaper, and, at best would have been proud that they knew “Awakenings” was based on Oliver Sacks’ work [kidding/not kidding]. Dunno if it was partially because of Atwood’s…

Now you’re just being Foxist.

ahahahahah I totally missed that and was like, ‘typo? where-omglolz,’ so thank you!

(omg, right? It had never occurred to me to think about, but just realized how irrationally bummed out I’d be if she was a jerk IRL. <3)

omg, right? Working dogs need work! Unemployed working dogs are ornery and disenfranchised! And they have so much trouble unionizing, what with their lack of thumbs and all!

A waaaay-too-long answer about breed-specific rescue orgs:
(tl;dr: so people who REALLY have their hearts set on a [Basenji/Pug/Great Dane] will get a pre-owned & discarded one, rather than buy a puppy and leave the others to rot. [Also, ime, easily 60% of the ‘purebred’ rescue org dogs are mixed, anyway, but have…

Bingo. They are also the same people who made Border Collies the most popular breed in the U.S. after the movie ‘Babe’ came out - then filled shelters with them, because [gasp!], it turns out that dogs bred to run 5 billion kilometers around sheep every day need a good amount of regular exercise, without which they…

Holy crap. Had never heard of this distinction. Super retroactively freaked out now...

Omg, this needs to be printed out and framed as an office inspirational poster SO BADLY. Maybe if he’s looking at his reflection in a calm lake, it could slip under the radar?

but what if she was such a HUGELY mature minor that she was basically a major? Bet you didn’t think of *that,* huh?
Y’all are all just haters that couldn’t get a broad like Ivanka to look in your direction even if she was your daughter!

Good point, but there’s a right and wrong kind of witchhunt. We’re living in a time where *men* can be seen as the ‘witches,’ which means nothing good can come from persecuting them!

(I totally thought the same, until I read the timeline when they would have had to have boned [unlikely], then saw pictures posted of Mia when she was Ronan’s age, which: twinsies. It made me think the Farrows just have some STRONG genes - and he’s Mia’s only bio kid with Allen, so there’s no real way to compare…

I also feel like he dates way above his intelligence level, which shows at least an attempt to be/act smarter (e.g., ‘If I’m lab partners with a genius, I’ll totally pass this class!’)? Demi may not be a particle physicist, but she’s no dunce, and Mila Kunis is, from everything I’ve seen and read (some questionable…

Dude, that pun hurt. What did I ever do to you???
(I also hope you extend the spelling courtesy to the individual islands. It changes how they sound, which can get kind of grating to those of us who use/hear them a lot!)

Oooh, I feel like I know part of that (which is exciting because I know like 4 things about Oasis, total)! “Beady Eye” was[is?] the name of Liam’s post-Oasis band. The pig face bit, I’m in the dark on.

Aieeee, THIS is what Justice Potter meant when he said he knew obscenity when he saw it! No joke: I have seen triple penetration and blowjob/vomit gifs that are 100x less repulsive than these - and not because they were artfully done. I mean, really, good luck finding an ‘artful’ vomiting-from-oral-sex image...
