Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Ah, so the cartoon characters do throw their heterosexual lifestyle in our faces?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Plus it was a boy and girl not like you and mom. That's why it's different and inappropriate.

Bwahahahah! Awesome, Noah.

Aeryn wants to be Ilsa and have frozen powers. Like mother, like daughter.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Noah: Plus it was a boy and girl not like you and mom. That's why it's different and inappropriate.

Fall over laughing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

He should be making robo calls to people saying "I find your lack of health cover disturbing."

I love billytea, that is all.

Oh no wait, that's not all. I love Noah too.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

And somewhere, people who support the religious right feel a sharp and inexplicable pang.

Ha! I love it.

Yay, Ginger! That is wonderful.

Lots of recovery~ma for H!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

This is from way-back but it seems worth mentioning...

I feel like I have the opposite story to cultural appropriation, perhaps cultural abandonment. Noah refuses to believe he is Chinese. He has said, on two occasions, "People keep saying I'm Chinese but they are wrong." Essentially. When I tell him he is wrong and ask him what he is, he says, "White" and then offers up his inner arm as proof.

When I was a small child I insisted I wasn't white. The only white people I spent any time with on a regular basis were my parents. The neighborhood we lived in was largely African American, our church was black, all my friends were black, my babysitter was black... he's the one I had a meltdown with when he said something about my being white. When my mother brought it up later and asked me what I was I held up my inner arm and said (quite adamantly), "I'm pink."

For a while, my niece insisted that she was grey. She said that if her father was black and her mother was white, that makes her grey. I was very amused.

Hahaha Noah!

When was the last we heard from ita? I don't remember seeing her around all day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw, Noah! Hee.

You guys, the Good Stuff is trending on tumblr. I don't even know what that means, except a million notes and new followers. Just when I have the least time!
