I’ve actually never heard it used in a positive way. Interesting to hear that it’s being used that way.

“Oh, my god, cover her she’s HIDEOUS!!! Those CURVES, she looks like some regular woman on the street or something! Can somebody, I don’t know, find a tarp to put over her?”

Even as a kiddo I remember thinking that the beast was really mean and scary and being v. concerned for Belle when she ended up marrying him.

Remember to be semi-clueless but constantly positive and cheery, for your quirky personality will make this jackass SUDDENLY FIX HIS JACKASS WAYS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. TRU WUV.

ONLY YOUR LOVE CAN CURE THIS ASSHOLE #romance

Nope, I think it’s an author thing. That’s a teapot in America, too.

Maybe I’m remembering the plot wrong, but doesn’t it play that whole trope of “if women are just charming/adorable enough, the mean asshole will come out of his shell and love you because you give off some unoffensive aura”? Kind of seems to go against the woman who’s heading up a feminist book club?

“This one tells us that kidnapping, Stockholm syndrome and bestiality are all just fine, as long as the girl finds love in the end.”

I find many beloved children’s stories disturbing. This one tells us that kidnapping, Stockholm syndrome and bestiality are all just fine, as long as the girl finds love in the end.

To repeat what others have said: The judicial branch is made up of the supreme court, the justice department is part of the executive branch.

“EMAILS” is just the next “BENGHAZI.”

I don’t know about “google,” but I’m a lawyer and I can make a good case the FBI director falls well within those intended by the Hatch Act.

Last night I asked my husband if I could please just get and stay drunk until the 9th. He said no. Something about our 8 year old homeschooler not being old enough to take care of herself yet, or something. I think he’s just being a spoilsport.

They just want to make America great again! Like it was when white men could torture and murder black children with impunity.

Spoiler alert: these assholes are voting for Trump.

He flies under the radar because he looks like a racist ghost who died during plastic surgery.

Of course he’s going to sue them. That’s what he does to anyone who speaks up about his behavior. Contractor makes inquiry about late payment? Don’t pay them! Just threaten a lawsuit. Shuts them right up.

I actually worked for a time at another at-risk high school in the northern Colorado area as a sub for a few longish term stints, and my mom worked at the school at itself. I heard some problematic discussions occur there but when I addressed them with students they often seemed to lack understanding of what they were…

Good to know, thanks for the correction. That makes this all the more unfortunate, since these kids probably need school more than an expulsion. Doesn’t make their behavior less reprehensible but definitely points to different underlying issues.
