And there are no guarantees. It isn’t just the red states.

i read the biography by ron chernow and oh yesss, they were at the very least, having an emotional affair. when hamilton wrote to laurens to tell him about his upcoming marriage, he would write about eliza in such a way as to not make laurens jealous! very interesting, indeed!

I saw someone refer to Hamilton as a fanfic, with all the wishful thinking and inclusion that often comes with fanfics, and I think it’s one of the best ways to sum it all up. 

What became much clearer to me with the intimacy of some of the shots is that Hamilton’s tragic arc with Maria Reynolds is set up by the implication that he is terrified to leave New York City and possibly consummate his emotional affair with Angelica upstate.

you made a great point about impact vs. intent, and boy you are right. It’s important to be conscious and informed.

In the movie “All The President’s Men”, Frank Wills, the security guard, was played by... Frank Wills.

I had a food truck at my wedding because it was less than half the price of any of the other options I had quoted. The venue I got married at (an old town hall) didn't have a kitchen so any conventional catering company were going to charge me as much for all the equipment to set up a kitchen as the food cost. In the…

They’re fucking effective is what they are.  No seating charts or planning tables, people can mill about, the food doesn’t get cold.  Only thing better would be a pot-luck

I haven’t read the article yet, but I am a giant weeb so my guess is that it’s the hentai girl bukkake face

My i3 automatically puts itself into park when I press the button to turn it off, and if I try to leave the vehicle with it in Neutral or Drive it yells really loud (and may also put itself into park in that scenario, I don’t remember).

RIP Anton Yelchin

Skipping from the “Ain’t Anyone Here for Love” to the comments. That scene is so HILARIOUSLY subversive I’d forgotten how amazing it is. Those nude trunks with the black trim that looks like bondage gear. Jane and her INSANE body acting like she’s never worked out in her life, and not a man in the room paying ANY…

I know of someone that did this. The surrogate had a life changing event that caused a lot of family heartache and big time debt to go along with it. She was able to do this and get their family back on track. I believe she thought about it long before their family had issues, but this gave her the reason to move…

That fanfic mess was 15+ years ago. I think Cassandra Claire is a cruddy writer, but as far as I know she gave up plagiarizing when she started getting paid to write.

Kenyon reportedly became preoccupied with fantasy writer Cassandra Clare, filing a lawsuit in 2016 claiming copyright infringement and other offenses, before dropping the central but difficult to prove copyright claims.

The way people talk about the romance genre upsets me so much that I just try to avoid thinking about it too much. It’s the best selling genre in the world, a huge number of smart women read these books, and people act as if it’s the dumpster fire of publishing. There is obviously a lot to unpack in this particular…

this is gonna DESTROY me, im gonna be a bawling sack of blubber and i havent even dared watch the trailer, but my massage therapist/psuedo therapist thinks that i still need to have a good balls-to-the-wall cry session after my breakup a few months ago, so i look forward to seeing this and ~letting go~

We used the BPL during MLS classes to talk about stakeholders, and our group project involved mapping them out prospectively for a project involving underserved populations. It was my first experience with Boston libraries, and I’m madly impressed. Yall have your own music librarian, who is an actual composer. I’m…

Fellow Brooklyn resident here. I love that the Brooklyn Public Library hosts Drag Queen Story Hour in its branches, sometimes while bigots stand outside and say things like, “We are not against loving who you want to love, but just don’t take away our kid’s innocence. Kids shouldn’t be raped in bathrooms by men who…

IMO, as a non-public librarian, the fact that my public-facing brethren help close the digital divide is one of the most valuable things about public libraries. In my old job, only a few years ago, I had a young 20-something student who didn’t understand computers to the extent that she thought something saved on her…
