Oh. My. Gosh.

IMDB tells me Renae Plant is also an unsuccessful actress. Because of course.

Minor point: back when Miss Sky was in a series of posh preschools (because it was that or a place where the play room was the furnace room, with explosive chemicals on top of the furnace and no guard rail around it), all of them had outdoor lunchrooms. It’s LA. It rains very, very rarely, little kids like eating…

To the point about “attractive” bisexual women falling into hetero relationships, I think a large part of that just comes down to numbers. If you’re someone who is attracted to both men and women, there’s simply more straight men in the dating pool than queer women. Better odds of finding your connection when pulling…

“On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. ‘Tis a silly place.”

“The sisters weren’t convicted of any crimes, rather their sentence was punishment for their brother’s elopement.”

Their brother is responsible. They’re just the objects used to shame him.

Gun owners are 32 times more likely to kill someone without cause than to act in self-defense.

10/10, would watch on TLC

I think Japan, Australia & the UK need to hold an intervention at this point

“We care for you. We can’t see you keep hurting yourself like this...”

Oh, the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court that ruled that gay marriage was legal? That Supreme Court? Good luck with that, you ignorant fuck.

I still don’t understand how someone who has been married four times can say with a straight face that it undermines her religious beliefs to allow gay people to marry.

Stamina in the pool will more than likely come from improvements to technique and the resulting energy efficiency. Front crawl is 80-85% arms... make sure you kick from the hips, even if it feels very ineffective. Powering from the quads, knees and feet will drain you so quickly. Gasping suggests you aren’t thoroughly…

Eggbeater kick is your friend. This is a descent tutorial. I always taught it by having a swimmer sit on the edge of the pool so they can feel the water with their feet. Then it’s just about getting used to the wax on, wax movement.

I was a water rat when I was a kid but the older I get the less I like swimming. You have to change clothes and then swim, which is fun, but then you have to dry off, change clothes again, go home, shower, change clothes again...ugh it’s just not worth it.

What makes Rocky the greatest sports movie ever made is that he doesn’t win the title.

A trophy will be forgotten, and it’s not really the point. It’s to be able to hand it to a kid and tell him how proud you are of him/her.

Yup, all of this.

I coached youth basketball for years, everyone got a participation trophy. It’s not necessarily about making every child feel good (even though that’s a happy side-effect!) but more an appreciation of their willingness to try.
