Quiet, a very good character who plays a pivotal role in the story, sports a sexy yet impractical outfit that’s given a rather unsatisfying explanation. Considering Kojima’s penchant for breaking the fourth wall, I almost wish they hadn’t bothered, instead having her just turn to the camera and say, “Fuck it, we…

I remember them! Those books were great as I was a little bit older than the AG target (like 5-6 grade). Also whooo more diverse characters!

I think I read a couple of the books as a kid, but I don’t think I saw the dolls. Their clothes are very cool.

I read the books and never had the dolls as a kid. I loved Molly and Addy!

He was so sweet. I told him that when I was little I was sad none of the dolls ever looked like me, so he bought me a Josefina to fulfill a childhood fantasy. Now he gets American Girl catalogs in the mail. lol

I really hate how they appear to have completely stopped attempting to include any diversity in their core dolls. All I see are white, blonde dolls. Kids get one token “slave” period doll as though black girls don’t exist in any other period of history. Ditto the token latina doll. And I think there is like one Asian…

I got my first American Girl doll a few years ago when my husband bought me Josefina. I loooove Josefina, and I hope that they continue to create some diverse characters, especially for their “Girl of the Year” series. Most of them have been white (2-3 aren’t, I believe?) and that’s a little disappointing.

Sometimes I miss neopets.

Because with a new name, we can pretend it’s not an antiquated concept.

She’s channeling Princess Leia (sans hair) and I dig it.

So a week after I started this job, a guy who no longer worked at the publication I worked for died in a car accident. I never met him, and he was a copy editor so it wasn’t like I was familiar in any way with him through what he wrote.
But nevertheless, the EOC said everyone needed to go. So I went. And somehow the…

I’ve been wearing high-waisted skinny jeans EVERY SINGLE DAY for like two weeks and no one can see how cute the waistband is (three buttons! so cute!) and that is a CRIME.

I’ve been known to scream “OMG BABY DOG” at dogs being walked by their people as a passenger in a car. This is applied to all dogs, whether they are babies or not.

This was him. He used high heat on every stove burner for every dish. He never cleaned anything as he went along. I would be cleaning up the kitchen after he cooked and find little pieces of vegetables behind the appliances because he chopped like it didn’t matter where little pieces wound up. Like... you don’t know…

Last time I was seeing a guy, one night I asked him to help me make the bed before we went to bed. I handed him one of the corners of the fitted sheet, and he was like, “I don’t know what to do with this.” He genuinely had no idea how to put a fitted sheet on the bed. He’s in his mid/late 20s. And he thinks he’s a…

I broke up with an ex boyfriend that I loved so much and was my best friend because being his girlfriend was like being his maid and mother. He has ZERO life skills. I refused to be the sole person doing laundry and he didn’t want to do any, so he would take his laundry to his mother’s house and have her do it. He…

Answer: Yes. He probably could. After he ran out of clean underpants and had to resort to the emergency “Smiley Face Boxers”, he would probably do a load of laundry..but it would never make it into the dresser. He would probably use the same glass over and over. Grocery shopping would consist of food for our kid,…

Adultosaur is busy writing their friend fiction.

my friends parents breed dalmatians and to ensure they’re properly broken into human contact sometimes I get invited over to play with entire piles full of puppies and it’s really exactly what heaven is.

a) not in the us b) i mean, my point is you hate me viciously because i don’t use capitals or punctuate here. i just thought if your vitriol was going to be there, it should be backed up, sweet flower.
