Thank you that quote made me do a double take as well. She clearly was not on the side of angels on that deal.

As long as the plot involves whichever characters Isaac and Pascal play making out at some point, I will be there opening night.

Please just let them all have facial hair. Especially Oscar Isaac. For... reasons.

I don’t understand the part about Charles not being invited to Canada “first.” He’s been here plenty of times between 1970 and 2017, and with both his wives. What am I missing? More importantly, WHY DO I CARE?

She also says she never had a “#MeToo moment”: “I wasn’t like those pretty girls with those nice little noses. Maybe that’s why.”

It’s funny.....all the adults who for years have shit upon Millenials (now adults) and other kids....complaining they’re lazy, selfish, absorbed in their phones, have no direction, don’t vote, don’t care about issues etc etc.

“Eat my ass!” a teenage boy yelled at the U.S. Capitol rotunda on Wednesday morning.

The First Four Years is almost an American re-telling of the Book of Job and I’ve tried to forget it. But glad it got mentioned, ha.

One of my favorite books as a kid (which I read shortly after graduating from the Little House series) is Running Out of Time by Margaret Peterson Haddix. It’s about a young girl who THINKS she’s living in 1840s Indiana, only to find out that her village is actually a tourist attraction and it’s really 1996. The novel

This picture brings back so many memories! It was in the book I had as a kid.

I wanted to make maple sugar snow candy so bad...but I bet it’s right up there with Turkish Delight in terms of sounding tastier in the book than it is in real life.

Wilder died in 1957, so she probably had a passing knowledge of cars.

Oh god, now i don’t want to reread them. I was obsessed with these books as a kid, so much so that I wore a sunbonnet and carried a tin cup to school (and this was 1992 so I don’t even have the show as an excuse). I was really hoping they would age well.

You know one bit I always remembered about the books? It’s in a later one, I think The Hard Winter, where the whole town’s celebrating not dying of starvation and disease by having a big potluck. The whole family gets dressed up and heads over to the meeting hall; Laura especially notes a big ham roast that she wants

Here I am, as some newbie ass naturalized American of Japanese decent who can speak and write japanese, reading her last name and thinking, “well, that’s a new African last name I haven’t heard”.

I feel this is a safe place to admit that I would read the shit out of Laura/Manly sexytimes fic. I have found one good one based on the books and not the TV show. I don’t have time for fic based on the TV show.

Yeah, the part where Laura watches the Indian tribe being driven off their land and fixates on the Indian baby with black “button eyes” and wants to kidnap it really freaked me out when I reread it. Also, in Little House, the family is illegally settling on Indian land and gets evicted by the army. WTF?? As a kid,

I have the same reaction to kids dressed as adults as I do to cats wearing clothes ‘AWWW, LOOK IT THINKS IT IS A REAL PEOPLE.’
