Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooks!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

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

Ann, that's a ferret.
Beanbag! And the Palliser novels!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
So, going back, I dunno. 1 in 5 abused teengirls in relationships seems really high to me.
I liked the book, FWIW.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I agree, Kat. That seems really high. I hope it's incorrect.

If I only had a brain...
Oops. My last Crusie post wound up on the old thread:

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
She said that 1 in 5 teenage girls has been abused in a relationship, according to JAMA which I found shocking
This strikes me as fuzzy statisticking. For one thing, "teenage" should by rights cover 13-19 inclusive, and of these, how many have dated, and of these, how many can be called in a "relationship"? What's a relationship, in this study?
Not that JAMA has free archives, or anything. Feh.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
I like the darker stuff in the Crusie books. I know you're shocked.

Herding cats for fun
