LOL. This is totally my plan if I ever win the lottery now.
They can’t tell her how to dress or wear makeup, so nothing should preclude her from showing up with extensive prosthetics, colored contacts, and makeup so that while she fulfills the obligation to appear, anyone who knows her would take one look and say, “oh, that’s not our friend Jane Doe; must be another Jane Doe.”
“Oh god! There’s a cat in that burning building!....... Ah! I know what to do!” *Throws another cat into burning building* “Now they won’t be alone.”
I started using Tumblr basically as a way to get interesting art, photography , and fandom geekery delivered to my proverbial door, and I’ve notice a LOT of discussion of Transgender issues being mixed in. A really distressing percentage of those seem to be screeds against TERFS and often by extension, feminists.
Yesterday when we were watching the halftime show, we all were complaining about his awful outfit. Someone suggested that he would be taking off that dumb moose shirt, and I believed her.
Seriously I was so bothered by how visually unappealing the performance was, especially compared with any recent shows. Even Coldplay’s spinning umbrellas were more visually interesting.
Something that can’t get lost in the discussion of this ho-hum performance is just how bad the wardrobe choices were. Timberlake looks so good in a (regular, non-camo) suit - why would you do this to him?!? Why would you do this to all of us??? The color pallet with the back-up dancers didn’t help anything, either.
My thought - and I could be wrong - was that all the characters are still in the afterlife, and this is a simulation, so all the languages/accents are still corrected like they were throughout the first two seasons. Michael and the Judge didn’t actually bring them back to life (right?) and go back in time/change the…
Amen. It’s starting to already verge on Ryan Murphy/Brad Falchuk level writing where by the second season the characters act completely different from episode to episode just to serve a crazy plot.
When they keep retconning the characters so hard there is no way to let character drive plot in a consistent way.
Service animals and emotional support animals are not the same.
Well... something WAS done. She docked his pay, moved the woman to another position, and forced him to go to counseling. She *believed* the victim and acted accordingly. Should she have fired him? Prooooobably, but this also seems pretty standard for 2008 HR-Department-Harassment behavior. I’ve seen guys who behaved…
Honestly, I don’t think I or most people would have passed Jason’s test. You’re told that the game is the test, but you win by refusing to play, which seems like refusing to take the test?
Is it weird that I was proud of Chidi for choosing a hat despite the comically long time involved? Baby steps.
All of their tests were ingenious, because they figured things out but they still failed the test (aside from Eleanor). Tahani’s test, especially, was harsh — because she got past all those celebrities and servants rooms, but as soon as she saw the room with her parents, you knew she was going to walk through it.…
I was a real snot-nose pseudo-intellectual teen and thought I was some hot shit for reading Brave New World, 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and the Handmaid’s Tale when I was still in high school. Early on in university, I found a “Utopian/Dystopian Fiction” elective with all of those on the syllabus and was like ‘hell yes,…
Oh, man. The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia totally shaped my ethics when a friend recommended me them as a teenager. I am a totally different person because of them. I was blown away that she was the same author of The Wizard of Earthsea, a book I had loved as a child. Her range and…
She bolded it, not me.
don’t even get me STARTED on what happens in Tresspasser
