John Green: GAY is NOT an INSULT (x)
EPIC SET. Thanks for doing this…whoever did it.
“Nobody really needs me.” There is no self-pity in his voice when he says this. It’s true his family doesn’t need him. They will mourn him, as will a handful of friends. But they will get on. Even Haymitch, with the help of a lot of white liquor, will get on. I realize only one person will be damaged beyond repair if Peeta dies. Me.
Since we brought home Otis he has not been eating very much. We bought a small bag of puppy kibble at Petsmart before I had a chance to research what food I wanted to give him. Its first ingredient was corn and he didn’t like that crap one bit. He would never finish a meal.
I finally decided on a brand and had Amazon rush it here.
Taste of the Wild High Prairie for Puppies.
First ingredient?
MOTHERFLIPPIN BISON, SON.
I filled up his bowl with a serving of bison chow and set it on the ground. I then went into the kitchen to grab myself some water.
When I came back, this was his bowl.
Before this, not once have I fed him and ended up with an empty bowl.
I’m going say that Otis gives Bison Chow 4 out of 4 stumps.
Can’t stop telling all the food in my kitchen to “Get in Mah PUPPEH”!!!
But when a saga popular with pre-adolescent girls peaks romantically on a night that leaves the heroine to wake up covered with bruises in the shape of her husband’s hands — and when that heroine then spends the morning explaining to her husband that she’s incredibly happy even though he injured her, and that it’s not his fault because she understands he couldn’t help it in light of the depth of his passion — that’s profoundly irresponsible.
“But romanticizing an intimate relationship that leaves bruises and scars is a particularly terrible idea in a film aimed at girls. Talking about this is tiresome, but then so is putting it in the movie. From depicting the loss of virginity as a naturally violent, frightening, physically dangerous experience to making Bella a woman with no life at all outside of her literally all-consuming pregnancy, the narrative sledgehammers are all as distasteful as they are inelegant.”
