I'm working on a paper for my Deaf Culture class. It's analyzing the portrayal of deaf culture and deaf characters on "Switched at Birth." I really need to get in some stuff about paternalistic attitudes from hearing people, but it's pretty difficult to figure out how to describe it when the hearing people in question are actually the parents of the deaf girl.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I think possibly roosters are evil, but hens seem comforting, because they just sit. I think I might want a therapy chicken!
I also love the thought of hipster chickens!
They killed and plucked chickens in the store when my mom was little in the 40's and 50's in Rochester.

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
I have a horrid sensitivity to egg yolks. And I love eggs SO MUCH.
My neighbor used to keep a horse in Griffith Park and the place where she boarded had a chicken coop. She'd come over and say, "I have farm fresh eggs!"
And then I would sob. I mean, I'm glad to know what it was that was making me feel sick. But eggs? EGGS?
I need to go cry again.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
well, that's certainly ... fluffy
My father grew up on a farm but my mother was a city girl. The first time he took her to meet his family she was horrified when one of the cousins got up before dawn, killed and cleaned a chicken, and fried it up for breakfast. I think the getting up before dawn horrified her more than anything else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Why y'all gotta talk about eggs? You nasty.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think this bird would make a great therapy chicken.
I feel therapized just looking at the picture.
