Too bad she didn’t get a fair-trade, home-grown lentil ring.

I have a friend who named her cat Khaleesi.

Agreed. I was all about the Lady Mormount fan club, until that tween was all, “oh, John Snow, IDC yr a bastard, yr my king.” Then I was all “sit your ass down, pipsqueak.”

It seems like Sansa could boss Robin around, so maybe??? Gah! I really am enjoying the fact that we are in uncharted territory.

I think it was a power play on Sansa’s part. We know that she and Jon did not really get along as kids. Sansa has been horribly tortured and abused. She spent a lot of very long hours with Littlefinger (and listened to Tyrion as well.) Sansa wants to be Queen of the North and she does not trust, that with Jon around,…

What the fuck is up with that scarf?

This is something I think about ALOT! I teach at an affluent public middle school in the Bay Area. It’s Lululemon central up in here for both students and parents. We have a dress code for students, which has gotten less sexist, but is still not great. I keep trying to remind my colleagues regarding: crop tops, that…

My mother used to tell me my tops were inappropriate, as far back as 5th or 6th grade. She herself was a late bloomer and just could not deal with a daughter who needed an underwire at 11. Great message for your daughter!

Those videos are the best. “It’s come to my attention...”

I also saw Babes in Toyland, at a smaller club in Chicago. I was a sophomore and dating a senior (he had a a car!) and was obsessed with Skinny Puppy. He spent the entire night telling me that he was the only person in the venue wearing a Skinny Puppy t-shirt. Cool story, bro. I got to meet Maureen Hermann that night,…

I still crank My Body the Hand Grenade in my car. That live version of “Asking For It” is a goddamned gut-punch. I’d listen to Live Through This except it’s scratched to hell. And my stupid 2004 car does not have an auxiliary jack.

Taylor needs some purple toner STAT. Girl, just because you are a natural blonde does not mean you can be platinum. Or yellow really. She is too wealthy to have such a shitty bleach job. Her ensemble is just no.

Ok, but Amanda Peet was EVERYTHING in Togetherness.

25% of funding comes from property taxes. And if your school is falling apart, you better hope the community has deep pockets and will pass a bond measure. Most wealthy districts have nonprofit education foundations to supplement enrichment programs. Every art, music and PE teacher’s salary in my district is funded by…

Nope, we are definitely still lagging. I teach in a wealthy CA district and I still have to supplement my $600 book and supply budget with my own money. I never had to buy my own pens when I worked in a cube. (But I love teaching, so for now I'll take the $200 tax credit. )

Dude. The largest district in my county (Sonoma) tops out at $89k per year and that is after 25 years, a BA/BS, an MA AND an additional 75 units of continuing education (and if we want units to count, we have to pay for them. It cannot be district funded professional development. I easily spend $1000+ a year on…

10 Things I Hate About You was on HBO yesterday, and I was struck by how yellow both Heath Ledger’s and Julia Stiles’ teeth were.

Definitely that episode.

I legit love Fresh Off the Boat and I am not a family sitcom person. My students disdain me for not liking Modern Family, but all of the delightful mid-’90's references AND Constance Wu are my sitcom everything. The Melrose Place episode was so good. So good. The kid playing Eddie does a good job with being a middle…

😂😂😂 nope, totally real. My uncle lives in Tampa (of course) and went to their shows all the time.
