Rape is primarily used as punishment just by the nature of what it is: Punishment for saying “No” to someone who feels entitled to you. That’s why it is so fundamentally dehumanizing.

Funnily enough, I felt like it didn’t look enough like the Cinderella dress. That dress is elaborate, suits high-definition video and looks very, very expensive. Belle’s dress looks like a modern wedding dress; I think with such a strong period style through the rest of this stuff they should’ve gone for a more period…

I wish they would’ve gone the prosthetic route rather than CGI. It would’ve looked much better.

No, a kettle goes on the fire/heat. A tea pot is the receptacle for the water that has been heated in the kettle, and where the brewing of the tea happens. In my non-expert opinion. FIGHT ME.

Original design concept for The Beast. They decided to go in a “less pastel” direction.

I do believe that we should be critical of things that we might have made exceptions for (like childhood stories) but also I still think Beauty and the Beast is one of the stories that you can make it seem bad if you want to but you can also make it seem really good.

My advice is to vote as soon as you can. These are legitimately unsafe times for our Democracy. The FBI is LITERALLY in the tank for Donald Trump. Think upon that for a moment and then go and VOTE.

I dream of the day Americans can claim some sort of refugee status from a system that basically wants them to die.

I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but Obamacare enabled me to get insurance at a time I desperately needed it. It is not a perfect law, but the bad parts are almost purely about making concessions to a profit-driven healthcare system. Capitalism and medicine should have nothing to do with each other, ever.

“ask Congress to convene a special session so we can repeal and replace”

how we are raising girls is not the problem. the girls aren’t the ones becoming predators.

Ah, thank you. I hope that that is the case, too: and apologise to the family for jumping to conclusions!

I read it differently, not that they were trying to clear her name from being a girl who had sex, but to clear her name from being a liar.

“But ultimately, for us, it was about clearing Audrie’s name.”
