I’ll never pass up a drunkwatch of that movie!

For sure! And it allows a showrunner to more easily challenge the “default” casting as well and have their roster filled out with POC, women, and LGBTQ actors/characters without necessarily having to comment deeply on it, because THE FUTURE! Which I’d think would really be the ideal situation for pretty much any…

Oh my god, I’ve never even heard of this. I must have been deprived in my youth!

Indeed, there’s a reason it’s called powder! :D

My mindblowing moment was when Lara Croft, after swimming, wrings out her ponytail.

That’s an excellent way to consider “perfect” movies.

I always said I’d take the coward’s way out in an apocalypse, ahaha.

I’m not the OP you’re responding to, but it’s a difference between academic and colloquial uses of the term.

Given that it wasn’t renewed and that felt pretty obvious in the “hopeful but quiet and still” sort of spin they put on an ending that felt like it was originally meant to be much more tense, I was actually okay with it. I can definitely understand not being okay with it, it was a weird ending for a show that was…

JLGL and Mike Mignola were two of the most formative artists in my own career, and I love their work dearly. Despite his work (both, actually, in different ways) looking more “simplistic” than some others, they were both artists who made me realize as a child that comic art was also “real art.” I come from a family…

Honestly, I think the first image up there does a much better job than the action figure—the proportions being so much more dramatically skewed in the forearms especially reads “what if this cartoon were highly realistic in the details” rather than “supersoldier gone wrong,” ahahah.

You’re certainly right (and I think it plays significantly into what Ta-Nehisi Coates says on the subject, that white people simply have an incredibly difficult time accepting that they can’t “have” or “do” something when culturally we’re taught that the world belongs to us), which I think also dovetails with…

Just a gentile here, but speaking of GI issues, my last Shabbat dinner with my friend (which is always AMAZING and consists of WAY TOO MUCH DELICIOUS FOOD) totally pushed me into a Crohn’s flareup from which I am still suffering.

I just don’t understand the mindset of WANTING to say a word that a significant portion of the population finds extremely damaging, rude, hurtful, whatever. (As least not once you’re out of the “rebellious teenager” stage, which is still not an excuse in the slightest, just that I remember wanting to make adults freak…

I will absolutely admit that is the immediate place my mind went. Not to mention....will these be living wages, enough to provide ARMED MILITARY PERSONNEL with enough food, shelter, comfort, entertainment, and so on in order to make sure that they’re able to fully dedicate themselves to this job and to maintain all…

Thank you. <3 It is something I want to talk with her about (it boggles me because just...she has kids! If they went to public school they would have gone to that school! That’s obviously not to say that we should only care about things that directly affect us, but DAMN, how do you not take that moment to reconsider…

Preaching to the choir. But that’s my exact thought, I just...the willful ignorance is astounding, and real, actual facts are so readily available. If we can talk on Skype, she can certain Google some actual statistics. It’s just mindboggling, and at the risk of surrounding myself with likeminded people, the vast…

A friend of mine lives right down the road; Jaelynn was her good friend’s daughter.

Entirely true.
