I have actually been seriously considering this. Like I was in Walgreen’s today for face soap and had to debate with myself whether or not to buy a carton of unfiltered Camels.

Only if we can exile him to North Korea.

The thing that makes the statues of the FFs and others of that era different and that should keep them out of “conversations” like this one is that they weren’t on the losing side of a secessionist movement. The Confederacy was a movement of traitors, full stop. They revolted against the government of the US. If…

I’m surprised Clinton didn’t pull a muscle giving that side-eye.

*snort* I was sitting here thinking “longer keys would be useful, but how do you swap out the emery board?”

Yeah, but as someone with floppy ankles, I dread the thought of someone suggesting that we put stumbling blocks in at the sites of our massacres and betrayals. I’d break my everything.

This could always be code for “we’re just going to let it die in development.” You never really know with HBO.

No, we’re not. I’m trying to tell you that it is past the point where it’s our duty to tell you “you is kind...you is beautiful...you is smart...” like some kind of character from The Help and you are insisting “but we sill just don’t get it, I need you to hold me by the hand and pat me on the head and explain it to…

No. Do you like being proselytized? I don’t. So why would or should we do it to them? If someone is wavering and wants to talk or if someone religious wants to ask us about our lack of belief, fine. But don’t be just as obnoxious as they are, just without the religion.

Some of us have alcoholic parents and siblings. Religion, lack of religion, what have you...it’s got nothing to do with whether or not someone chooses to drink or do anything else you might consider to be a social behavior bound by the “rules” of some religion or other.

It was the list for me. No, the Easter Bunny isn’t real. No, Santa isn’t real. No, the Tooth Fairy isn’t real. Well, Noah and Noah’s ark was um...I mean, it probably wasn’t literally that way. And Lazarus was...uh, you’ll understand allegory when you’re older... On and on like that. And like Goat, I was a hell of a…

No, it has been 240 years since Abolitionism in the US was first a talking point. You have no excuse to not know that, and you have no excuse to need to “keep being educated.” If you don’t want to know, no amount of talking to you (as people who look like me have learned over 240 years) is going to make one damned bit…

It is evil and looks like a hairy bowling ball.

Again and again and again. Since the Abolitionist movement. So apparently 240 years isn’t long enough for us to get it through their heads, imaginary. We’re supposed to just keep on with the handholding.

The problem is, a lot of them won’t listen to us, while they will listen to Dorian. So the signal boost is appreciated. (Of course, a lot of them will probably attack him, too.)

You two have clearly never had a good sugar cookie. What have you been eating commercial cookies only? Sugar cookies should have vanilla and cinnamon and a little lemon zest and be crispy and NOT BE FROSTED. You all need to make friends with a baker.

Hey, the less of you that like raisins, the more cookies for Roo and me.

Hell fucking YES I WOULD! Take your raisin-disrespecting ass somewhere. I bet you eat okra and coconut too, don’t you? ;p

Lover of the big girls.

And it wasn’t so much that Cersei promised them power and superiority, it was that she specifically promised them Highgarden and all its territories if they sided with her over the Tyrells. They weren’t in it for “better than those people” power and superiority, they were in it for actual power and even more economic…
