Yeah, my friend did that too, but her daughter still picks stuff up from the other kids at school, tv, and other places.

So- not trans, but I have a good friend with a kid that age and she introduced the subject to her daughter casually, like her daughter said something about boys vs girls (since a lot of kids really start to do the whole “girls do this, boys do this” at that age) and she brought up the concept of being trans. It was…

Ok, so I haven’t ever gotten into Angel enough to realize Angelus makes a come back. I’ll just watch those episodes...

This is the truest thing ever. Angel? Whiney and boring. Angelus? Amazing. I would have watched a show entirely about Angelus, but I cannot get into Angel to save my life.

Not to mention the tendency for popular YA sci-fi/fantasy novels to be written by a woman about women. YA fiction tends to get shunted to the side by award recognition, but it’s hard to ignore it’s popularity and that it’s often very good. It’s a trend that I would have appreciated a lot when I was younger and in that…

I was sitting here thinking what I would do in this situation and came down on the oblivious due to headphones side. I also can never hear anything on flights because of noise, so a row or so away, even without headphones would have been entirely oblivious as well.

Yeah, I’ve had similarly bad experiences on United. I’m white, so I get a pass from them, but I was flying from Dubai once and seated next to a woman from India. She didn’t speak English, but her son who she was flying to meet, had instructed her to show her itinerary to someone near her and a notebook with his…

She’s actually been on a serious righteous anger roll with this because she (and a bunch of others) had been saying that there was some major fuckery going on for years and people weren’t listening until now. She left the fold long enough ago that she’s basically come to terms with things that went on at her house (no…

Fortunately, they were removed enough from hard core ATIers that, although she had to deal with not being “pretty enough” personally, her parents didn’t actually encourage her to try to fit the Gothard ideals because they thought that bit was total bull too (totally bought into enough of the lifestyle though). It is…

Long afros aren’t approved/ considered godly. The hair has to be softly curled for it to be oked. Like, I have a friend who grew up Quiverfull and while her family didn’t totally follow Gothard (they were more Vision Forum people) she was basically told that her hair was too curly and she had to straighten it and…

Not a flowers in the attic fan, but I do love me some Game of Thrones.

I also always assumed that there would be a strong likelyhood that Tammy and Peggy’s boy would be attracted to each other.

As much a I want to know what happened to Peggy’s baby, I did appreciate the mention of him when Peggy was talking to Stan. It was a very poignant moment to me and honestly, I feel like bringing him back more wouldn’t have had the same impact.

That was my thought. In order to dance her train needs to be out of the way. Either bustle or get one of those wrist loops.

I’m not saying this is a goal in my life... but yeah, it kinda is.

This is how I feel. Those poor girls have basically no other skills but being Duggars, then their family started making a ton of money off of keeping them in the spotlight, and now, are probably going to get the blame for the collapse of the family empire, which they have been floating with their books, courtships,…

Her coverage of this is quite good- it’s her most recent post.

Libby Anne at Love Joy Feminism has some good insights as well.

I feel like I say this every time there’s a comparison between the Duggars and Kardashians- for all of the bullshit reality tv show fakery that the Kardashians do, they are significantly more up front about it and I respect that. First, the elder Kardashian sisters, who have been the focus of the show, were adults who…

This is a solid description of me as well, and that bubble butt makes low rise impossible. They don’t cover my ass. Like, they just don’t go up enough. The first time they were in style I was a block of solid muscle and ab-tastic and refused to buy them because I hated having to pull up my pants 20 times a day.
