It’s a shame that such tasty nuggets could come from such a terrible place. Won’t be eating there ever again.
The True Meaning of Friendship
Antoine: What's the plan for tomorrow, Kristin-san? Can I meet you at your house?
Kristin: Yes, that's fine. I am assuming you're talking about the burlesque show?
A: I thought we were going to do the Jane Austen Fight Club.
K: Dude, we don't even have petticoats yet.
A: True.
K: We wouldn't want anyone to think our fisticuffs weren't Regency-themed.
A: Exactly, see, this is why we're friends.
(Antoine also used "bitchin" in this conversation. Everyone should have an Antoine. I don't remember what I did without him.)
Seriously, I have the best friends.

Anecdotal Adventures at Bus Stops
Last night, while I was waiting for a bus, I had my iPod in, clearly not wanting to speak to anyone. A man tried to get my attention. I ignored him. He did it again. I looked down at my iPod to indicate, hey, dude, I don’t want to talk.
So HE FUCKING SNAPPED HIS FINGERS IN FRONT OF MY FACE to try and get my attention. When I still didn’t give it to him, he glared at me and...

I know this may not sit well with my followers, hell even the tumblr community at large, but what I’m about to write is honest-to-god how I feel about homosexuality in comics. This isn’t a grab at attention, and I’m certainly not attempting to “troll” any individual or group in distaste.
As an…
Urgh.
I only have a few minutes so I might not be able to discuss this...
APE IN A CAPE: About Bane In The Bat-movie →
gailsimone:
Okay, people have been asking me this non-stop since it was announced last week, what are my opinions about the casting of Bane.
First, I’m pretty much pop culture ignorant. I don’t know much about the actor in question.
And second, I’m conflicted. Here’s why.
I don’t know Tom Hardy, I don’t…

Thanks to the lovely Zatanna for linking this. For the record, I’m not mad or insulted by the article as one might expect, I find the entire thing EFFING HILARIOUS. I mean, READ THIS:
Batman, the comic of a middle-aged man who takes an orphan into his home and forces him to play knife games with criminals, all while toned legs bulge under a female’s stockings, is one of the biggest...

This is completely fucking gross. This is not okay. Women like you are the reason so many people (women, men, or otherwise) are driven away from the feminist movement.

If you like stripping, porn, burlesque, femininity, supporting delusional men who impersonate...

I Think I Kind of Adore Raven Symone Now
From People.com:
Symoné says she was never one to consider herself unattractive when she was still heavy. “I thought I looked fabulous before and nobody else did,” she tells PEOPLE. “So, whatever.”
and
“Actually, now I wear bigger clothes because I don’t like the way people stare at me,” she says. “I liked it before. Now, you’re just...
