Yeah I figure that too but I don't know just something about her. I'm sure we'd get along like fine but just not someone id want to hang out with

Yeah, I’m a bit cynical about the whole thing but anyone who never had a grand “everyone’s a phony” moment didn't fully experience adolescence.

I was pretty cynical about Essena’s decleration’s against social media, but now I’m totally on her side. Fuck this noise. If you’ve gone from 15-22 without a week where you try and remove all representation of your former self (including two days ago) in some sort of existential protest about capitalism/feminism/the…

Yeah but Hermione really should have been explicitly a WOC, imo. It wouldn’t only be good for diversity it makes sense with her storyline.
And I think JK Rowling agrees with that (she has favorited tweets about it).

She could add more POC as main characters, but the HP series wasn’t completely devoid of diversity. It’s been awhile since I read the series, but off the top of my head Dean Thomas, Angelina Johnson, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Blais Zabini, Cho Cheng, and the Patil twins are all POC.

I wonder what they’d say if she hadn’t met with them, too. At this point I’m just starting to accept that there are Clinton haters out there that are going to go out of their way to cast her every action in a negative light.

Two bit cynicism strikes again. It was a two-hour meeting, not a five-minute photo op. It was a two-hour meeting, far superior to zero meetings. It’s important to show this issue is something that she is taking into account.

I don’t actually need the details of their discussion, because I can’t imagine it is ever anything but painful for the motherhood to talk about their murdered children. Snark aside, I keep them and mothers like them in my prayers. No parent in the world should ever endure this.

Giving birth ripped me apart and destroyed my identity. I was 100% sure it was a mistake.nto have become a mother. I love that we can admit this now, that hormones are stronger than us and we might need time to adjust.

Proud of this teen.

I want to snark and make some silly comment about how I’m renouncing my internet presence for a more serious life of scholarly contemplation and that I’m actually a 75-year-old married housewife, etc...

Wait. Social Media isn’t real? Young lady, that baked chicken & rice dish I posted last night was real and it was goddamn delicious!

Good for her? This is a very young woman who is making a (for her) huge change because she believes in something. Why would we belittle that?

Sometimes, hugs are just tolerated.

I hate the very idea of this so much it makes my skin crawl and I feel all punchy and kicky. I imagine I'd have reacted with violence already at this point.

My advice to get people to stop hugging you is to stop bathing. Works like a charm.
