Alright, who's been reading the Necronomicon? It's going to take forever to reimprison D'Jo-Bie'dhen into his mortal shell.

It reminds me of the journal pages from "Se7en."

Fun fact! The United States never signed the treaty that bans the use of Letters of Marque and Reprisal. Also, given the historical evidence in the War of 1812, where private citizens were not just permitted but encouraged to outfit and crew private warships against the British, we can determine that the Founders intended the Second Amendment to extend to cannons and other large armaments.

So, legally speaking, all that's standing between you and a life of plundering Chinese cargo vessels is approval from your congressman.

When you're picking books to read, pick books written before the 60s and read together with little ones (or the big ones. You're never too old for read-aloud) They have better grammar, better word choices, better plot structure, better philosophy.

Treasure Island

Lord of the Rings

Winnie the Pooh

Wind in the Willows

Five Children and It

Tom Sawyer

Swiss Family Robinson

The Chronicles of Narnia

The classics are classics for a reason. If anyone needs recs for specific ages, let me know - I'm a homeschool mom and a private English/Literature tutor, so I have a ton of resources.

Peak irony is an Israeli actress who portrays a superhero from an isolationist island asking us to imagine "no borders."

And he spent how many years as a Democrat? Like, I love the guy, but he's in his 70s and just now deciding to MAGA. How many are like him, who went along with their eyes shut until the pot is boiling and half the frogs are gay?

If you were born in the 50s, you were in your 20s. That's not "still a kid"

...No, the Greatest Generation built the world. Boomers fucked everything over with the 70s.

Not Gay Jared's wife had a baby, so he decided to get a more stable job with less insane hours.

That's a fair analysis, but it's not my only issue with the movie.

I'm a huge Disney fan and I just felt like the movie was a hot mess from start to finish. Like, that first song, that the ice farmers sing was such a freaking masterpeice of tone and then the rest of the movie just... doesn't match up. I dislike the hodge-podge quality of the songs, I cannot STAND the damn snowman and Hans was such a heartbreakingly wasted character.

Like, can you imagine if they'd played him straight? If he was, in his own way, just as overlooked and desperate to be loved as Anna? He meets this chick and, wow, she's cute and "quirky" and they've both been raised by fairytales so this is how love is supposed to work, right? Then Snowmageddon starts and the queen is a witch and cute princess is going to solve the problem, so he's gonna step in and be her rock, cause that's what princes do. Then she shows back up and she has a curse that needs true love's kiss and, oh honey step back, this is the moment he was born for....but it doesn't work. Not because he's Teh Evuls but because love isn't what he thought it was. It fails, not because he's a bad person, but because he did, in fact, just meet this girl and doesn't even know what her favorite animal is. Then he and Kristoff have to go collect Elsa, instead of being a stupid jokey side antagonist, the Duke of Weaselton shows that he's actually got some hidden depths of evil, and the rest of the story proceeds apace.

Instead, we got a mustache-twirling evilbro and a "romantic" lead couple that were too busy trying to out-quirky each other they forgot to have chemistry.

I 100% disagree on Frozen; "no right, no wrong, no rules for me, I'm free" - not in my house.

And Dumbo is amazing. Also one of the least racist movies ever made. Think about it - why do the other elephants discriminate against Dumbo? His ears. And what's the difference between Asian and African elephants? The ears. All of the female elephants are Asian elephants. Dumbo is an African Elephant. This is backed up by some context clues too. Dumbo's real name is Jumbo Jr. There was indeed a famous circus elephant around the turn of the century named Jumbo - an African elephant.

And Dumbo doesn't realize his full potential until he meets with the crows, who - aside from Timothy - are the only ones to end up taking him seriously or treating him with compassion.

People like this aren't bioethicists. They're sociopaths with a degree.

I mean, I'm exhausted, but that's because my husband is away for OCS and the twins were up half the night with a cold. I'll feel better tomorrow.

The problem isn't external. The problem is internal. If you fill your life with meaningless busy-work, you're going to get burned out. Find purpose. Find your gifts, your charisms, your vocation, your calling - whatever you want to call it - and use them the way you're meant to. For others, not yourself, not your ego, not to fill the hole daddy left when he divorced mom, not your need for acceptance or validation.

They used to come in lovely floral prints for just that reason. It's almost like reusing things was encouraged or something

Why am I not surprised that so many of them are trannies who want mommy-gov to pay for their genital mutilation?
