Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cuba Gooding Jr is an ass. Just because he's a black guy speaking gibberish imitating "African" language doesn't make it not offensive. It still sounds stupid and just *bad*. And he's a big reason I haven't seen Red Tails.

I've seen some people defend the ESPN "Chink In The Armor" headline by saying the phrase isn't racist. Which, no, by itself it isn't. But when you use it about an Asian guy, lo and magically behold, it's suddenly racist. Stop making stupid excuses.

How do people not understand the concept of context?

TNG is tired: we ran 3 miles this morning, and then we went to the dog park, where she ran around a lot and almost met some other dogs.

Now I should call a plumber, and fix my brake light, and do laundry, and clean the kitchen, and vacuum the house. Bah.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Thank you for the birthday wishes! A few cards, a sinful cupcake, one refusal to sing, and dinner plans: so far, so good!

msbelle, this is why we don't use the veggie drawers. Or, well, we keep long-term stuff like apples in them. But green stuff we're supposed to use and eat? In plain sight in an open-ended bag on a shelf, or we'll forget it's there. Because we're both veg-resistant and just don't *think* of vegetables unless we see them.

Other, better organized and less vegetable-impaired people may have other methods, however.

This is just a weird picture of a sex toy. And by weird, I mean, how in gods' name could you tell it was a sex toy? What does that tell you about it? Size? Purpose? Anything?

(The picture is totally SFW, but the domain may set off a net nanny filter)

Easily confused with a bar of soap. At least visually.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I was really appalled at ESPN. I just could not believe that shit. WTF were they thinking.

I didn't think it could get worse than NY Post's "AMASIAN", and yet ESPN reached rock bottom and kept digging.

Art Crawl!!!

What did ESPN do?

I gather it was a Lin related atrocity.

Had a caffeine headache and an achey back. Went to liedown and do my back exercises (which I did) and then napped. Headache is gone but back is still sore.
