Sometimes I get so mad at my father and the only thing that calms me down is just really grappling with the fact that I am AGAIN pissed off that he’s better at being a cult leader than he is at being a supportive father and then reciting the mantra: “Astrology is real because it’s the only explanation for why Aquarius are like….that”
h8 when people tell me i had a bad childhood bc i didn’t enjoy many cartoons. i had a wonderful childhood. i forced the lizards outside to marry one another. i didn’t know it wasn’t legally binding.
i love capitalizing words that do not need to be capitalized At All so that you read them in that Important Voice
my favourite evolutionary trend is very unrelated animals saying “shit, lets go get huge and lumpy in the ocean” on multiple occasions
every time i read any article about teenage girls i always think that if i ever have a daughter im raising her in the wilderness without internet access and with only a pack of domesticated wolves for company and the wolves will be trained to eat boys on command
can’t believe the whole country tuned in to watch a power lesbian use her intelligence against white supremacy tonight
honestly i don’t love ANYTHING as much as i love how all gays will drop everything to support rachel maddow
someone: do you watch game of thrones?
me: not for years, but I have an exquisitely plotted story in my head about how Sansa Stark serves as lady of winterfell and falls in love with another northern lady but she doesn’t realize it’s Love Love because she’s just like “what very good friends we are :)” and the other woman is really good at resource management and where to put latrines so people don’t get sick, and they work together and are best friends and maybe more?? Yes, more. It’s a fifteen episode miniseries about rebuilding after war, peacetime governance, and gentle gay love, sexuality, and trust. I have the camera angles all planned out. Arya is there, and she has twelve direwolves puppies that cause mischief. At some point, the whole north is like “There Must Always Be A Stark In Winterfell And It’s Fine If She’s A Lesbian”
someone: can you pass the salt?
me: Episode Three starts with Sansa standing by her window, watching a pack of giggling small children have a snowball fight. She looks cold, austere. She watches Arya fucking pile-drive a six year old into a snow bank. Sansa’s lip quirks. She is Healing. The plot of this episode is dealing with mice in the grain supplies. Sophie Turner is nominated for seven emmys in one season.
This article is fantastic in a way that is textbook Clare Malone: thoughtful, meticulously researched, bringing an important and under-reported angle to the conversation and, most importantly, passive-aggressively snarky.
