I was referring to the reactions in the comments, which I really didn’t make clear at ALL. The impression I got from a lot of them was either a) she shouldn't have said anything about the hit and/or b) had no right to criticize because she doesn't skate. B kinda implies that people who don't play (ie the vast majority…

Okay, let me see if I have this straight. Players who skate to injure shouldn't be called on it? By that logic, no one in the press should have said anything about Bertuzzi literally ending Steve Moores career with the dirtiest hit I have ever personally seen, right? Or Lemieux mangling Kris Draper's face? Yes, these…

My grandma is from Georgia. Mom told her off at least once a year for telling my sister and I not to buy various things because 'they look like something a n-word would wear' when she took us shopping. The only reason she tries to be nice to my brother's Gambian partner is that we've made it very, very clear that we…

If you can't handle rude students in a professional manner, you shouldn't teach. Period. Both MrB and MomB work as special ed classroom aides, and they have been threatened, assaulted, called horrible names, anything you can think of. And yet they somehow manage not to body slam any of their students.

Ugh, I was SO pissed off that they dumped the JMS script. He ain't perfect, but when he's on, he is ON. And let's face it, even a not up to par JMS script is usually better than most of what comes out of Hollywood.

I loved it! A lot was cut, but the acting is amazing.

The book bears pretty much zero resemblance to the movie, just so you know.

I would donate to a kickstarter for a documentary approach to WWZ. The book is so interesting (so much left out, like the flight that messed up air travel, the reporter who exposed the 'rabies' cover up, etc), there are a zillion ways Hollywood could have managed to avoid fucking it up! Instead, we get a cookie cutter…

Yeah, that sarcasm was totally fucking obvious. Stupid me, for not being telepathic.

Seriously, not cool. No one should be raped. EVER. Implying that non consensual sex is okay when it happens to the right people is perpetuating rape culture big time.

Yeah, people who touch me unexpectedly tend to get elbowed. Hard. And I have vary sharp elbows.

A scarily possible story from last year, called ILU-486:

Shit like this makes me yell about how Handmaid isn't supposed to be a fucking guidebook!

That's pretty much what I figured. Someoneis clearly buying this stuff, but I never actually see anyone wearing any of it! I can't help but wonder wtf is going on with that... Maybe there's some sort of alien demand for loudly colored/patterned/glittery fabric? Kind of like chocolate in the young wizards books, except…

I think there's another chain grocery store with the same name, just not in the Midwest/great lakes region. The one here sells pretty much what you can get at Walmart, without the disgusting union blocking bullshit.

I was lucky enough to have had a pretty excellent relationship with my father, but Shepard is right - cancer has a... clarifying effect on relationships. As much as he could get on my nerves, as much as we disagreed politically, we loved each other. I'll be forever grateful that the last words I said were 'I love you'…

Our local stores are good, but the one on 28th street in Grand Rapids is flipping amazing. The international section blew my mind - they have fruit pastilles and Cadbury fingers! No smarties or orange biscuits, but still not bad. Haven't seen the clothes, though, we stop by because it's right near the Costco on our…

No one at my Missouri college ever believed me when I told them how much better Meijer is than anything there.

My local Meijer actually has a pretty decent selection of basics in plus size - tshirts, fitted solid tops, pants - nothing to write home about, but good for business casual and everyday. They also have a wide selection of really hideous stuff, mostly with bright clashing colors and glitter, sequins, or random bits…

I read Catcher in high school and remember wanting to grab that little shit by the shirt and shake him like a rattle. Holden is such a a whiny, self - absorbed tosser.
