These pictures are supposed to contrast mainstream and edgy over decades, but when she hits decades I know more about, the less edgy she feels.
eta: Thanks, -t!
Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

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

That's great, Dana!
I'm sorry the day's started badly for some.
Feminist Frank and the Hey Gurl memes should be a rare slash pairing for Yuletide.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
It is a super good idea, and pretty good photos, but the costumes/hair/make-up could use some more research/experience and attention to detail, I think. But it is a student project.

So the Taurus is parked next to the garage, waiting to be cleaned out, then sent to its reward. The Jeep is now my daily driver. Now I have to learn the responses of a new vehicle and wonder if squirllyness is the result of problems with the steering or the stellar road conditions of Utah. It's amazing how many bumps there can be in a perfectly smooth road. I think the road engineers really want to design roller coasters.

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

Yeah, I like the idea but I'm not sure it's very well-executed in terms of research/styling.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The simulated olde-tyme photography isn't very good either. Most of those pictures are far too sharp and clean to match the film, lighting and optics of their era.
Compare to these actual tintypes that were taken this year (including one of the last pictures of Phillip Seymour Hoffman). It was much harder to get a sharp picture with period gear.

Because books.
God, that's a really haunting picture of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He looks like he's in so much pain.
Gorgeous picture of Mark Ruffalo, though.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
On the trigger warnings thing, I do think the proposed Oberlin guidelines are somewhat eyeroll-inducing, but, well, it's Oberlin. I took one class in college where we watched the rape scene from The Accused, and our professor gave us a warning and told us that, if we wanted to step out of the room at any time, it was OK, and I was VERY glad that she had prepared us and told us that stepping out was OK. (I watched the beginning of it, but then it got to be too much, so I went out in the hall until the scene was over.)
