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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Thanks! That's what I thought too.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Noelle Stevenson talks ‘Lumberjanes,’ ‘Nimona’ and her online roots

Man, I need to catch up on Lumberjanes. And buy Nimona.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I liked Lumberjanes, but I have to say Rat Queens looked a lot more interesting. Anybody reading that?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Okay, so I fell down a Gawker rabbit hole about celebs who lie about their age, and it occurred to me that I can just look up anyone in the UK whose birth name I know, because I have an Ancestry account, and...

Not lying about their age: Keira Knightly, Catherine Zeta-Jones

Lying about their age: James D'Arcy (shaved off two years)

That's intriguing.

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

Also anyone born in California, and a few other states.

Yeah, everyone's so convinced that OMG, the women are totally lying about their ages, and you can totally tell, but... this shit is public record. It's not hard to look up when someone's birth was registered and where in the UK, and CZJ and KKs dates match to what's claimed.

I need to find more supposedly lying UKers so I can confirm or deny and use my powers for gossip.

I guess it was Defamer hole. Still.

Really? I always heard CZJ was shaving years off. Huh. (Given how Keira has been around since she was fairly young, I fee like it would be much harder for her)

I think I found the same Gawker article. It also quotes someone who says her mother went to school with Elizabeth Montgomery, and that she was lying about her age, but she was born in Los Angeles, so the records are easy to find, and her birth was recorded in 1933, exactly when she said she was born.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same and same.

Good news: I slept all the way to my alarm!

Bad news: The high protein english muffins I got are disgustingly sweet for no reason. And they don't even satisfy me longer! Too bad I bought two packages -- after that, it's back to the regular or fiber ones.
