There are also the classics, parlor palm and cast iron plant. Amarylis is similarly hardy, although I have yet to get a bloom, and rosemary (or which there are creeping varieties if you want a groundcover) and lavender are resistant to everything but overwatering.

Formation still sounds just like Ballad of the Green Berets.

I wonder if they’re realizing that he agrees with them as much as he does with people who think Hillary Clinton assassinated JFK: maybe in some of the superficial stuff but not the real meat of the theories.

Also, “envy” as opposed to “jealousy.”

In Japan, they’re called “fujoshi,” or “rotten women.”

Also, the fujoshi using “representation” and “baiting” as cudgels against rival ships, fans stock in the realm of sanity, and the people making the media.

Classically, Anglo-American homes are sepparated into “zones” by flooring. Entrance-ways (mud rooms) and work rooms are tiled, hosting/public areas get hardwood, and private rooms (bedrooms, den) are carpeted. Long Nineteenth Century homes could often have intermediate spaces defined through rugs (to the point of…

These usually make the comments but are deleted. I remember when they were still trying to destroy slide summary comments.

Yeah, this decision is going to be one of the most-cited in analyses and histories of the court simply because the odd combinations is indicative of it providing a unique insight into the justices’ philosophies of analysis.

The heart is in the right place

By “exploiting,” he pretty clearly meant accusations of queerbaiting. Basically, every time a horny girl decides to fantasize about two guys and the showrunners don’t use her fanfic for the show’s script, she screams “baiting.”

Male friendship - close, deep, platonic friendship between two men (sexual orientation of the parties involved not a factor, they don’t want each other) where there’s talking and shared emotions and deep empathy... isn’t celebrated or seen much, thanks mostly to homophobia, sexism, and the American mythos of being a…

Basically, the fujoshi declare any depiction of homosocial/platonic bonding by men in media to be sexual and lose their fucking minds when the showrunners don’t reveal it to have been sexual, in effect campaigning for the elimination of male friendship from culture.

but getting upset at fans (LGBT+ or otherwise) simply enjoying fan interpretations or exploring that potential in fanworks is even more daft

I don’t think I’ve ever seen it from gay men, though, just fujoshi.

I think the slash/yaoi shippers have always been much more aggressive, particularly in attacking anyone who stays in reality when their fantasy comes up (also, in assaulting people with “paddles”), and the idea that shippers have ownership of media has only made them worse. They take the showrunners not showing up at…

He’s 100% referring to female fans who get off on the idea of two attractive men boning but don’t want to admit it’s a fantasy and so instead claim it’s “coded” and ownership of the media they’re consuming, crying “queer baiting” when the show doesn’t cater to their fetish.

I’ve heard that suggested, but my impression was that it’s more of a sports superstition than something backed up by research.

The original American cornbread recipe calls for cornmeal, salt, hot water, and lard. That’s it.

The big thing I saw was that the original model curriculum only mentioned Jews to call them privileged, didn’t mention Mizrahi in its MENA unit despite Mizrahi (and it looks like Persian Jews alone) outnumbering all other MENA populations except Ashkenazim combined and a stated goal of the curriculum being to reflect…
