I do throw a side-eye at books that include rape. Because the majority of time (see trashy romance) it’s just handled really terribly.
So when a series of books (1) include multiple rape scenes (2) include rape of children (3) are written by a man and (4) are quite popular I think further discussion and examination of...

We were sitting at the dinner table watching the news, and the US’s NYC gay marriage thing came on, and before I even said anything my mom turned to me and said, “Don’t. I’m not going to fight with you right now” And that pissed me off more than anything else. It’s like, you can say whatever shit you want about the ‘sanctity of marriage’ when neither of you are religious (and my...

Why Iceland Should Be in the News, But Is Not →
ninefoldgoddess:
An Italian radio program’s story about Iceland’s on-going revolution is a stunning example of how little our media tells us about the rest of the world. Americans may remember that at the start of the 2008 financial crisis, Iceland literally went bankrupt. The reasons were mentioned only in passing, and since then, this little-known member of the European Union fell back into...

Picked up 3 polishes today.
All Sinful Colors, ‘cause I had $6 bucks and we stopped in Walgreens. I love Sinful Colors- damn good quality for the price, at least to me.
Currently wearing: Amethyst, a purple creme that’s a dupe for China Glaze’s Grape Pop
Also got: Frenzy, which is a blue/purple glitter and near-dupe of that OPI cheshire cat polish. Glitter looks thin, but I’m okay with that.

I completely missed the part about the weddings pies being the three missing Freys, because I forgot about the significance of the Rat Cook song.
