I want to see more girl monsters. Girl giants, girl dragons, hulks & trolls. Scylla and hydra. Girl monsters who are huge and whole. Teeth and plush fur and long muscled tails. Heads enough to see you anywhere. Gleaming green or brown. But girl monsters are usually zombies or vampires. Pale and thin, bleeding or dead. Not Lady Lazarus, not a phoenix from the ash. I want to see how you get strong without being broken first. Get strong and stay strong. Get big and bigger.

"This is the best thing to wear for today, you understand. Because I don't like women in skirts and the best thing is to wear pantyhose or some pants under a short skirt, I think. Then you have the pants under the skirt and then you can pull the stockings up over the pants underneath the skirt. And you can always take off the skirt and use it as a cape. So I think this is the best costume for today."

Doppelganger of the Day: Pope Francis I & George Bluth Sr.
Okay, maybe it’s the camera angle, but there is some resemblance between Arrested Development’s George Bluth Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) and the new Pope Francis I, no?
Somewhere Mitch Hurwitz is writing this into a joke in the new season of AD.
Pope-Pope gets a treat?
Oh my GOD.
There’s always money in the Vatican.
POPE-POPE

EVERYONE gets niqab and burka the wrong way round in the West. And when it’s large media organisations, it’s really inexcusable.
I can admit I don’t always get these right, and that really is inexcusable. For everyone. Rebbloging because becoming educated on these differences cannot hurt.

Cheeky Raccoon Taunts Passing Motorists
A raccoon was given a $200 fine for taunting motorists on the street outside his home on Tuesday.
“He was standing out there sticking out his tongue at drivers as they passed, yelling insults and generally being kind of a jerk,” said Sam Block, the police officer who responded to a complaint about the raccoon.
Block ended up writing the raccoon a ticket.
“I was going to let him off with a warning, but the little bugger stole my hat,” he said.

I’d like you to remember the last time you found it difficult to give an explicit “no” to somebody in a non-sexual context. Maybe they asked you to do them a favour, or to join them for a drink. Did you speak up and say, outright, “No?” Did you apologise for your “no?” Did you qualify it and say, “Oh, I’m sorry, I can’t make it today?” If you gave an outright “no,” what privileged positions do you occupy in society, and how does your answer differ from the answers of people occupying more marginalised positions?
This form of refusal was analysed in 1999 by Kitzinger and Frith (K&F) in Just Say No? The Use of Conversation Analysis in Developing a Feminist Perspective on Sexual Refusal. Despite the seeming ambiguity in question/refusal acts like, “We were wondering if you wanted to come over Saturday for dinner,” “Well, uhh, it’d be great but we promised Carol already,” they are widely understood by the participants as straightforward refusals.
K&F conclude by saying that, “For men to claim [in a sexual context] that they do not ‘understand’ such refusals to be refusals (because, for example, they do not include the word ‘no’) is to lay claim to an astounding and implausible ignorance of normative conversational patterns.”

Dude. Why do we spend so much time feeling self conscious and miserable instead of doing things that make us feel good?
