The wife (white) of my boyfriend's cousin (Indian) was once asked this about her son (whose skin color is closer to his dad's):

Say you went with a rainbow theme, and watch your conservative relatives' heads explode as they say, "But that's what THEY ["they" being LGBTQ folk] use!" And laugh and laugh.

i'm getting married in the woods on our family property. we just planted wildflowers, so our colors are all the colors. my bridesmaids are wearing whatever. the plates are all floral plates being collected from thrift stores. if i had to pick a color it would be "floral" whatever that means

Grey and marigold! Bam! Basically, I looked through the sample weddings on martha stewart, picked the one I liked the most, and said THIS. the reception is going to be a cheap version of this. Then I got married at the courthouse, with a kazoo playing lady justice doing the honors.

You mean they made this the best nativity scene EVER.

my dog's not afraid, in fact, he pushes the cat around with his snout and the nibbles on him (that kind of light nibbling they do on themselves when they're itchy) - cat seems to love it, in fact he purrs the whole time, despite what it looks like LOL

Wow

I can't help but sing along. Hmm, my mother is looking at me funny now. I guess I should try to explain...

These videos always cause my dog to have have major meltdowns. She's currently racing from window to window, trying to figure out who's daring enough to get that close to her house. She'll pause long enough to do the head tilt thing at the really high pitched ones, then it's back to her investigation...

All parents that give their way-too-young kid an expensive piece of electronics that then causes my way-too-young child to beg me for one should be shot. And beaten. And then shot again. You are a terrible parent if you do that. TERRIBLE! And I hate you with the fire of a thousand suns.

I think the chicken head has warning signs written all over it.

the only thing worst than a list with insane wishes is the kid who just says "I don't know" when asked to make a list. If you keep that up Santa's going to get you a new cordless drill.

Er. If you've read the books, it becomes apparent that her primary interest is not the choice of mate, but survival.

I used to work in a vet's office and one day this guy brought in his widdle little bitty pug puppy in for a check up! Oh, that tiny face, and his little wee feet, all cold from being outside, as we front office staff all gathered 'round to keen and wail and rend our garments because we could not, COULD NOT BEAR the…

OH SWEET EVERYTHING thank you for articulating this clearly.

People keep talking about the movies as if the story is over. NO. The story is complete at the end of Mockingjay. Yes, you can argue about whatever is going on in Catching Fire, but jumping to conclusions about who Katniss "should" end up with now is silly…

Basically every point you made is the reason that I went from Team Gale in book 1 to Team Peeta by book 3, IF Katniss wished to choose that is.

Even once I put down Mockingjay I never really felt that Katniss chose Peeta over Gale. Honestly it just seemed like they grew closer together and their relationship naturally…

SPOILERS AHOY- BE FOREWARNED

I fell in love with the character Johanna and totally support this:

I like this very much. I am strongly in favor of open-minded thinking about what one's needs are, how one gets those needs met, and still maintains one's emotional autonomy. Being able to do all of this outside the usual structure of Normal Paired Romantic Relationships which have all kinds of hairballs of Dependence…

man i kept waiting for that thing to come out singing "hello my baby... hello my darling..."
