I was a youth services librarian for years and the only people I heard refer to books as “girl books” or “boy books” were parents and the occasional shitty teacher (most teachers are not shitty like this). Once I recommended a book to a woman that was right up her kid’s alley and she turned up her nose and said, “He…

Hell, if the way this woman dresses has cost the company she works for even one contract, who do you think her boss would support? This might be the reason the guy doesn’t wan’t to tell HR. “Yeah, so the Client from last week, the one that said they are considering signing with another company. He/she told me Suzy was…

My hometown is one the last places that still does busing, which they were required to do in the 60s to segregate our school system. It is heavily debated every year. While in graduate school I was scrolling through some of the oral history interviews available in our library. I found one interview with MLK which was…

It makes sense considering how often she felt like she didn’t belong or wasn’t a true Northener. Ned once said something to her like, “You’ve raise four northern children, you belong here” but she was never so sure.

But she would never go to Littlefinger for advice because she knows his game. It’s more likely she would have talked to Brienne OR HER OWN SISTER because any of their beef could have been settled by a conversation that clearly happened offscreen.

Yeah and this was the first time she’s really sat down and listened to his council instead of telling him to fuck off. She was playing the game of faces with him in that scene, but I don’t really know why becae they really didn’t need much information to validate killing him.

They need to hire a full fucking staff of women to write the last season. They are shit at this.

Exactly this. The drama should have been about how they pulled off the double crossing, not whether or not the Starks were unified. They made them look stupid for multiple episodes and then thought the audience would be fooled by these people acting totally out of character. I liked the Littlefinger confrontation…

If you are actively working against a community while posing as a supporter of that community and getting a larger platform because you also represent that community then, yes, you are a fraud and deserve to be called out for it by the people you are hurting.

What gets me is that Tyrion felt moved that she didn’t kill him, like maybe they are still family. Then they hash it all out and Cersei pledges to join them in the fight. Tyrion probably feels like he has his family back in some form. But, turns out Cersei only kept him alive so she could double cross them. Had she…

The show is so much better when they give the characters room to breathe. The performances were a lot better too.

I know a lot of fans hate his portrayel of Euron, but I absolutely love it. I’m ready for more.

Yes, I’m trying to think of how they could have better pulled off the Littlefinger twist. I think trying to make us think that Sansa or Arya would actually betray their family after everything they’ve gone through always rang false and it just made them seem stupid. It’s clear that a lot happened off screen and it was…

She’s not a fraud as a trans woman, she’s a fraud as a trans ally.

Yeah, I would not want to be that idealized woman in his mind. He says he doesn’t care about her history, but that rings false for me. He wants a woman he can put up on a pedastal and expects her to fulfill all of his sexual desires and fantasies. I would run the fuck away if a dude started on about expectations like…

Your comments wreck me.

just white noise to me.

The first time someone tried to make me taste fireball was at a Kentucky bourbon festival and I am still offended.

I loved band, but between not being allowed to try out for drumline because I was a girl (even though I’d always been 1st chair percussionist) and the hypercompetitiveness of our director, I ended up quitting after my sophomore year of high school. I just wanted to play music, but we weren’t allowed to participate in…

I used to come home black and blue from getting hit with mallets. The boys had it worse, they had to wear cups to school during marching season because the other drummers would tape a roll of quarters to a drumstick and hit them in the nuts with it. That’s just from the other students. Once I collapsed after the band…
