Huzzah!

Admittedly, there are constrictions. Right now they only seem to work if you paste the image URL in a post or comment; you can’t upload them from your image library. Yet? But we’ll take what we can get!

If I’ll even notice them, I enjoy an image spare feed.

There are some grammar mistakes that annoy the crap out of me, but others? I don’t give a fuck. In most of the following cases, so many people use the “wrong” word that it seems really nitpicky to get on anyone’s […]

There was an episode of Blossom in which she and Six argued about could(n’t) care less. I’ve been in search of that clip since the dawn of YouTube. Still haven’t found it.

I’m discovering that I don’t know when to use matter/manner

(in an X manner) (matter?) and it’s bugging me.

We start with further proof that this version of the Doctor is a little off from his previous incarnations; while Eleven had “never met anyone who […]

Someone wrote a review on imdb calling this episode “feminist claptrap,” so I feel like I should have loved it on principle.

I assume Danny exists as a reason for Clara to leave (she’ll decide it’s too much to juggle the Doctor and the relationship, or she’ll get pregnant or something) so I’m interested in seeing where they go with him.

John Smith comes to work at the same school as Clara and Danny. What could possibly go wrong?!–more–

Living a double life is starting to take its toll on Clara. Most of the modern era companions have just […]

The Doctor and Clara are robbing a bank? What could possibly go wrong? (Spoilers, sweetie!)!–more–

We start with more evidence of Twelve’s non-humanity—Clara’s getting ready for her second date with Danny […]

Also, this gif. As Tumblr pointed out, his Malcolm Tucker is showing! And it’ll just be generally useful while commenting on the internet.

Bowtie: embarrasing. Love the line delivery from Capaldi. He’s just brilliant at making the doctor back into an alien.

SCOTUS has always been loathe to uphold buffer zones when it comes to freedom of speech. It’s really not a particularly surprising decision. Rather than focus on what the Court won’t do (and they won’t) we need to come up with better solutions to the problem. Do I know what those are? No. But I know that this one is probably never going to work out.

  So I guess you didn’t hear about them ruling in favor of Hobby Lobby and killing public unions.
- amandamarieg replied 6 years, 8 months ago
  
  HOLY SHIT. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THE HOBBY LOBBY DECISION. FUCKING…..ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?????????????????????????
  
  SINCE WHEN DO WE LET THE PRIVATELY HELD BELIEFS OF ONE PERSON VIOLATE THE PERSONAL RIGHTS OF OTHERS?????
  
  FUCKING. THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING. THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING. WHAT ABOUT THE RIGHT TO PRIVACY? HOW CAN THIS POSSIBLY TIE WITH PRECEDENT???????
  
  I need to go read this decision. Right. Fucking. Now.
  - amandamarieg replied 6 years, 8 months ago
    
    I just made it through the synopsis. I’m seeing red. They went off the fucking rails. And it was written by Alito, so I just KNOW it’s going to piss me off. Alito is just Scalia without the slippery slope logic.

    That’s more like it! :)

      Sorry. I really hadn’t seen that those two had come down yet. And then I got on facebook, and went, oops!

    Your shift from angry but still calm to COMPLETE ALL-CAPS RAGE is 100% on point.

      Thank you, Liza. Sometimes I feel like my rage can be a mite too ragey.

        Is that a thing?
[E] Sally Lawton replied 6 years, 8 months ago

plus that BS decision last year bringing down the voting rights act. SCOTUS is really on a roll lately.

It’s tempting! Thursdays tend to include a lot of cursing and sighing.

I’m so glad it’s back!! And I will also sign that petition (though I would first have to hunt down the people who ship Arya and the Hound and stab them with the pointy end, because NO).

[E] Hillary commented on the post, How Many Middlemarch Madness-Nominated Books Have You Read? 6 years, 10 months ago

I’m at 31 (though a ton of those are series) and I’m definitely adding a bunch of the others to my reading list as well.

Yup.

Well, that sucked. Though, I guess since I love 7 out of the 8, odds are I’ll be happy no matter who wins. (And nothing against Harriet the Spy; I just don’t remember if I read her book when I was a kid. Because I’m old.)

The robins showed up in my yard this week. Maybe winter won’t last forever after all!

I’m going to have a busy weekend because the kiddo turns 5 tomorrow. What are you all up to? I hope it involves cake!

[E] Hillary wrote a new post, This Week in Misogyny is One Big Pile of Shit 6 years, 11 months ago

Buckle up, everyone, it’s about to get rough up in here. Hobby Lobby went before the Supreme Court this week, so that could really suck if the court sides with them. Our new weekly list of terrible people is just […]
