This is a really nitpicky thing, but considering the anti-semitism that this group of fuckwits has incited, can we maybe avoid calling them golems, an inherently Jewish thing?

I get so angry with “gal pals.” But I also hate it so very much when straight women refer to their straight women friends as their “girlfriends.” Like... no. That word already has a purpose. Unless y’all are dating, you can fuck right off with that. Especially since it’s always said in such cutesy context, further…

My mum went to high school with the Tree family. She was in the same class as Douglas Fir, and the year below her was his sister: Merry Christmas. The whole family (for generations) had tree-themed names.

Literally the same day that my wife and I got together, she’d been thinking about how glad she was that she was single.

I’ve had the same with my wife. We met online, bonded over a few months, before admitting feelings for one another. I moved to a different country for her and we were in a civil partnership within 9 months. It just worked.

As an adult, I always read Gaston as closeted as fuck. I mean, dude makes a HUGE show of going after the least accessible girl in town, while remaining utterly oblivious to the women constantly throwing themselves at him.

While I don’t want to give him too much credit, he comes across as someone who’s aware that they deeply fucked up. It wasn’t like POTUS was a role he would have gone for if he’d been from any other family - he rose far higher than he expected, was puppetted by everyone around him, and followed some really shitty…

Despite having read multiple articles that mention his use of John Baron, it wasn’t until right now that I realised he named his own son after his catfish identity. I don’t know what to do with this information. It’s like someone naming their kid after the Sonic the Hedgehog recolour OC they posted on deviantART when…

A fact that nobody ever acknowledges when it comes to this bathroom nonsense: everyone who has ever used a women’s bathroom before knows that women instinctively wait in the stall until everyone is gone so that they can scurry out, wash their hands, and flee without anyone ever knowing it was them who filled the third…

Welp, I know what’s going to be stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

It’s actually more often the case that the lying party contacts MTV first: http://www.vulture.com/2014/05/catfish-mtv-casting-production-process.html

The whole “taking a male partner is submitting to the patriarchy” idea just reminds me so fucking much of Gold Star Lesbian bullshit. Like, nope, not going there. Acknowledging roles within relationships is one thing, but saying that a straight relationship is bending to the patriarchy is just turning it into an…

I think it’s also something of a shortcut. Hair is allowed to be fluid and organic, whereas you have to keep the lines of the face/head pretty sharp. Cover more of the outline of the face and you don’t have to be as careful from frame to frame. It also gives something else with possible movement when anime styles can…

Not to mention Tim Curry...

If they’d made it ten years ago, Anne Hathaway would’ve been perfect. She’s got singing chops and she’s near picture-perfect for Belle.

Dangit, those are the best songs. Seeing them performed in the film was one of the few things making me semi-interested in this.

I think her accent comes from 1) spending her first 5 years growing up in Paris, 2) attending boarding school in Oxfordshire, and 3) being a fairly precocious child who decided really young she wanted to be an actress and so hit the RP really hard.

I highly recommend Emma Donaghue’s Kissing the Witch, which is a collection of beautifully written fairy tale retellings with a decidedly women-centric, often lesbian slant, without devolving into erotica.

My mum and siblings grew up in the 60s. 4 girls, 1 boy who constantly had his GI Joes stolen for Barbie dates.

I once nearly crashed straight in to Dakota Blue Richards in Brighton station, right around the time series 5 was airing. All I remember is that she was wearing gold sequins and looked like a pixie had stumbled out of the 80s.
