Yes! I’m reading it now, and it’s so interesting/horrifying. I would highly recommend it for anyone who read the Little House books or is at all interested in that period of history. It’s made me realize how romanticized the other depictions of that era that I’ve read or seen are.

I don’t want to die, but of those options...

• It is not a feminist act to divorce the world’s richest man and acquire 50% of his assets.

I’m into the beard, but bleached blonde hair is always a mistake

I have gone soft since becoming a parent, and can’t watch movies where anything bad happens to children. I will have to read spoilers to find out what happens to the kids before I can watch this one.

I’m so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful dog!  

I’ll miss you Harron! Let us know where you’re going so we can keep reading your writing.

It is so common for people to over-generalize disability like this. My sister has impaired mobility and sometimes needs to use a wheelchair. When she’s in a wheelchair and we go somewhere together, people will often speak to me instead of her (for instance, waiters asking me what she wants to order). They assume that…

But what did this hot woman wear in the national costume portion of the pageant, that’s what I want to know.

Same. Having toxic, narcissist parents (or other relatives) is bad enough, you don’t need to maintain a relationship with someone who only cares about themselves and will make your life worse. 
This asshole’s behaviour has made it clear Meghan made the right call by cutting off contact with him.

My five-year-old won’t watch any movie with dead parents, which excludes almost all kids movies. Even the new Mary Poppins movie includes a dead mom backstory! WTF Disney, what do you have against moms???

I highly recommend Gabrielle Union’s memoir - the title makes it sound really lighthearted, and while it’s funny in parts, she is also brutally honest in talking about her experiences with racism and violence. She is smart and insightful and I hope she keeps writing.

When my grade 2 class went on a trip to the school library for the first time, the librarian asked if anyone in the class could do the splits. One girl could, and demonstrated for us. The librarian told us that leaving a book open and face down all day is the same as asking a person to do the splits all day. This was…

I can’t believe that someone would lie about something like this! Sex offenders usually confess immediately and take responsibility for their actions, right?

BD Wong has been great in a lot of roles, but nothing is more memorable than his role in Oz, especially the musical episode:

The British Board of Film Classification’s website is helpful to anyone who wants to avoid triggering content (or if you want to know if something’s okay for your kid), they have fairly specific details on anything that might be problematic in the film. Here’s the Star is Born rating info, for example, which warns you…

That is terrifying.

I wish Hillary would just refuse to answer any questions about Bill. Why does she still feel the need to defend his shitty behaviour?

I love that tiara! It’s so beautiful, and different from what other royal brides have worn.

Prince Philip is clearly a zombie.
