I just read them aloud to my daughters, and they do hold up well. I did find myself doing a lot of editing, though. Particularly in the Horse and His Boy. Great story, but incredibly racist. I dropped all the physical descriptions and it worked out ok.

The boyfriend and I also recently powered through the first 2 seasons. She is amazing. I cannot believe how completely she embodies each character. They're so distinctly different from each other. The only thing that makes me sad is that Tatiana Maslany doesn't actually have a bunch of real life clone sisters because…

I'm obsessed with her acting, it's amazing. In one episode a clone needs another cone to pretend to be her, and Maslany is so perfect it blows me away. Like, Maslany is pretending to be someone pretending to be someone else. She has to replicate the speech and mannerisms of someone, but through the eyes and ability of…

I was so skeptical that the show could make it believable that each clone was their on distinct character when I started the show, and now I they are so very much their own person that I forget it's the same person behind all of them. I marathoned the first two seasons recently, and ugh I can't imagine how much worse…

Do you even bowhunt??

Also, is this *not* the sweatshop system? It's not like we have any way of checking the working conditions, coercion, or abuse in these places. The grand old tradition of the British workhouse was supposed to be an alternative to prostitution, too.

If you're an old old school Who fan, like myself, I highly recommend the First Doctor 'Lost Stories' Boxed Set, with Farewell, Great Macedon. This was the first set of lost stories they recorded that didn't come from the 6th Doctor's missing 23rd season (which would likely have been just as problematic as the 22nd)…

You can never be too sure - plus, I wanted to make sure people didn't conflate them with Audio books, which are decidedly not what most of the Big Finish Who products are.

She looks like she's doing some potty reading.

It really is quite tragic to see. It's hidden away at the bottom of many pages.

I did this! I would take them on day trips with me in rotation so they all got a turn, and would arrange stuffed animals at night so that each was touching the pillow in some way, because if they weren't partially on the pillow they would be sad. I remember it very well. Mom tells me I was this little face sticking…

Was anyone else one of those uber-sensitive kids who ascribed feelings to their toys and stuffed animals? I used to play with all of my toys on a rotation because I was afraid of hurting their feelings. I kind of did that with my clothes too - I would feel guilty if I didn't wear my red shirt for a while because I was…

I can accept thin mints at one, even though it is wrong wrong wrong, but putting goddamn trefoils above tagalongs?!!! Were you people fucking high?

What bugged me is the FDA insisting they independently provide statistical proofs of their tests' accuracy. What people seemed to not understand is that the chip they used for this testing is the Illumina HumanOmniExpress Plus, a common brand in wide use elsewhere in America, by a lab already licensed for performing…

I have the exact same wrong opinion as Kate! My ranking is definitely somoas, tagalongs, thin mints, everything else.

This is pretty low. A cover letter is supposed to help you show the hiring manager what you can bring to a new job, and this woman wants to use skills she's gained in the past to be a victim advocate in the future. This is probably an entry level job for her, or she'd be talkinga bout her criminal justice experience.…

For reference: 50-75% of pregnancies end in miscarriage before the woman knows she's pregnant. I learned these are called chemical pregnancies today.

Yes and Santa Claus is real.

Pardoned? For having a miscarriage?! This case has been in the news in Latin America for years. In the case of Guadalupe there was an alleged malpractice and that's when the doctors started throwing the "abortion" word around and eventually she got convicted. Despicable!
