Oh my gosh, I’m definitely getting this for my little cousin. Poor thing is surrounded by nothing but pink froo-froo and damsels in distress.

Princess and the Pony is sooooo cute and good. My three year old son laughs and laughs at the pony. And it's a super sweet little story too.
That looks awesome. Thanks!
My daughter (4) got this book for her birthday and it quickly became one of our favorites!
Good for her. I loved the white-boys-and-dogs books we read in school, but I was a little white girl who loved dogs. Elementary schools need to have reading programs with as much diversity as possible, as early as possible, because reading is pretty much the single most important thing you learn in school, and…
“Oh, for God’s sake, stop lumping white people together. I can see if this was a panel of all white Americans. Then you would have a reason to complain. But it actually was an International panel with people from America, England, France, Italy, Poland and Germany. To just call this a “white” panel erases the cultural…
I was in a bar in Sydney when a group of men and women sat down to my left (it was a all around bar so everyone faced inwards). One of them overheard me order a drink and I get the standard “you’re an American!” opener. Then they moved towards me and kept talking about how funny/cute my accent was to the point that I…
Yeah I found the same thing when I was in Europe in college after being just OK in the dating scene in America. Over there, suddenly I was exotic. It sure as hell wasn’t racism, because I’m white.
Spending time in London I only had to open my mouth, and their eyes would widen at the accent. Then I said I was from Los Angeles, the reactions were priceless.
I hate to tell you this, but all women get hit on more when they travel. The reason is simple - a traveling woman is a low risk, high reward target.
This is a well-written, thought-provoking article.
I’m an Australian living in the USA but originally from Europe. I find myself having to defend Americans from the Australians and Europeans I know (“Americans are so dumb, hur dur”.... umm yeah, but most of the best universities in the world, and ground breaking research is happening in America) and defending/shutting…
He is a police officer. He chose to take the risk of putting on the uniform. He does not get to transfer those risks to civilians.
That’s why he’s being charged with manslaughter, not murder. It’s negligence, not willful intent to kill someone.
I am less concerned with the nonsense this person is talking and more with the gullibility of those who mindlessly agree with or support them. I’m really frustrated with the lack of critical thinking I’m seeing in the comments these days, jezebel has been becoming more and more light weight for the last couple of…
I’m so pleased to see so many experts on Australian culture, politics and history in the comments! Canadian experts at that! seriously wtf are you all on about? perhaps you think you are well informed, and unsurprisingly there are plenty of people unfamiliar enough with Australia to agree with you, but in reality you…
That is genius!
Hmmm....the person who dismissed you wasn’t particularly nice about the way they phrased their point, but I think it’s a valid point, and I’m glad they brought it up. I’m sure the OP was not criticizing the tone of this article or anything, and I’m sure he had nothing but the best of intentions. But you can have the…
Preferably said in a Scottish accent!
Yeah, I’m a sucker for angels, and the Devil. I don’t know what it is, but a good portrayal of the Devil is like chocolate. Viggo Mortensen in The Prophecy makes the most of his minutes on film, still give me the chills. Mark Pellegrino was just plain fun on Supernatural. Tim Curry may not be playing the Devil in…
