DID YOU GUYS KNOW THERE WAS A MOVIE CALLED BARTOK THE MAGNIFICENT WHICH IS A SPIN OFF OF ANASTASIA ABOUT THE ALBINO BAT THAT WAS RASPUTIN’S SIDEKICK OH MY GOD THIS HAS COMPLETELY TURNED MY DAY AROUND.

A long time favorite! Our home was flooded with all things Anastasia…once upon a time.


The myth that women shouldn’t lift heavy is only perpetuated by women who fear hard work and men who fear strong women.


men still have trouble recognizing that a woman can be complex, can have ambition, good looks, sexuality, erudition, and common sense. a woman can have all those facets, and yet men, in literature and in drama, seem to need to simplify women, to polarize us as either the whore or the angel. that sensibility is prevalent, even to this day.

So we have a plan.

That plan is to take over the BBC America living room to watch Doctor Who all day Friday and Saturday.

This is completely normal.

This Supreme Court Justice Wants To Know When Bigotry Became Unconstitutional. Wait, What?

Oh Justice Scalia, you’d be a fantastic Supreme Court justice — if you lived in 1791 or 1868. I’m just glad Ted Olson, the lead attorney challenging Prop 8, was on hand to deliver this brilliant rhetorical smack down.  


Justice Scalia is a pig.

Can somebody make me a replica please? Diamonds and aquamarines…birthstones of me and Daniel, respectively. Colored glass substitutes works for me! Much ♥ for this!!

Tudor Women

ivorylady:

The strength and determination that they had when they were alive helped me get through many depressions and ordeals. Knowing that they suffered so much and that they stayed strong despite of everything that they went through, helped me get through some of the worst moments in my life.

Agreed! Their stories make me grateful to live when I do, to have the freedoms I have, and the strength to keep doing hard things!


Oh Anne…oh little Gloriana. My heart always breaks to think what your lives might have been like had bluff old Hal known just how glorious a queen Elizabeth would be. Such a tragedy.

It feels amazing to be able to look at the face of a King who died over 500 years ago.

Teenage Girl Blossoming Into Beautiful Object: Full Story

Holy—

“Ashley has really developed into quite a striking assemblage of physical attributes that are found to be sexually attractive in our culture,” said Parker’s uncle Keith Hayes, expressing astonishment at how his niece had steadily matured from a precocious youth into a shapely, ravishing thing devoid of intellect and personality. “It’s hard to believe that she used to be that little girl [capable of subjective experiences] that I remember. Now look at her—she’s such a lovely vessel for displaced sexual frustration and voyeuristic lust, just like her mother.”
“Seems like just yesterday she was this creative 7-year-old kid, pretending her Barbie was the first woman president,” Hayes added. “My, they grow into little more than consumer goods so quickly.”

Marveling at the rite of passage that all females make from girlhood into entirely disempowered objecthood, Hayes expressed confidence that the 17-year-old would one day become a highly prized physical possession for “one lucky guy.”


The Onion’s feeling sassy today

DAMN….. The Onion is on point….
