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

I'm totally not telling you what I'm doing with Polgara tomorrow.

I've been asked to write a blog entry about minorities in SFF. Firstly, I don't know anything about books, and secondly, I'm not angry. I do realise, you're supposed to be angry about these things. I'm only exasperated.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I still love the part in Reality Bites where EH says Stiller is "the reason Cliffs Notes were invented" Although I feel more sympathy for Michael now...I could see how you could have good intentions and still be *That Guy*

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I have very vivid memories of Captain Kangaroo (with whom I share a birthday, yay!). I can remember getting all excited one day when he started reading a book we had on our shelves at home -- it was MAGICAL. And then, years later, I was happily cruising through a poetry-writing class at college, liking my professor and politely impressed but not awed by her published-author status, when a chance encounter in the campus bookstore clued me in to the fact that she had written my absolute favorite Captain Kangaroo read-aloud ever, and I spent the next month completely tongue-tied with awe of her.

Because books.

I loved Captain Kangaroo. And Mr. GreenJeans!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Mr. GreenJeans was my favorite.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Mr. Greenjeans and the "human beans" were also my favorite.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita, do you still have the LOM site?

Because books.

Tumblr really is like crack. Go away for a few hours and you can just scroll through pretty pretty prettiness for a while.

Good lord, I'm going to eat all 11 of these little cupcakes, aren't I? Poor planning on my part, making sweet things before dinner.
