idc how much you hate twilight her dad is awesome
Yeah, basically Twilight would be so much cooler without Bella and Edward.
Dude, can you imagine if Twilight was just about Charlie Swan, finding out that his best friend is a werewolf, and the town doctor he’s trusted for years is a vampire? And then he helps them stop the vampires that are murdering everyone?? THAT WOULD BE SO COOL.
Bella can stay in Arizona.
Oh hell, I would read that.
Wait, that actually sounds pretty sweet, someone write that story
it also kind of looks like he hits her with his gun…so I guess Charlie would be up for it
Today’s reminder that Charlie, while pretty badass in a lot of ways and definitely one of the least objectionable characters in Twilight, congratulated Jacob for kissing Bella against her will.
“Good going kid, ignore my daughter’s wishes. Go on git it.”
Bleg.

Student debt surpassed credit card debt.
Just so we’re clear.
That’s insane.
Sometimes, I wish I could ban my students from saying the word “gay” unless we’re specifically talking about homosexual people. Today one kid said that the ceiling was gay. Ceiling can’t be gay. Ceiling can’t even be straight. Ceiling is ceiling. Ceiling’s sexual preference is light bulb.
My response to situations like this is to take it really literally.
“The ceiling fan is gay? Does that mean it has relationships with other ceiling fans instead of… what, floor fans? Or like, air conditioners or something?”
Doesn’t typically solve the problem right away, but often gets people thinking about what they’re saying. Plus it’s fun.

Husband is a teacher. One of the biggest revelations I had in my early 20s, suddenly realizing that a lot of my friends either were already or were going to become teachers, was that teachers are people. I mean I knew they were people, but they never seemed like particularly well rounded people when I was a student. They have lives. They have friends. They have a favorite bar. The good ones care deeplyabout their students. They work 12 months a year and get paid for 11 or less. They work 12 hours days regularly, whether they do it all at school or not.
Teachers are awesome. Respect ‘em.
Wall Street Journal’s heinously wrong recent op-ed “In Defense of Carbon Dioxide” was a little too close for comfort.
I mean, there are a lot of reasons I don’t want to have kids, not the least of which is that I just flat out don’t want to be a parent.
But honestly it’s like people are TRYING to give me more reasons not to want kids every freaking day.
Spat out my popcorn. Was not expecting.

“I’m getting tired of making insects that just hatch, eat, mate, and die.”
“Well, what else are they supposed to do? Seems like you’ve hit all the major requirements there, evolution.”
“I don’t know, something more interesting.”
“Like what?”
“Like maybe hatch underground, putter around down there for 17 years, emerge in massive swarms that tear through the countryside and dive-bomb weddings and generally freak everyone the hell out for a while, and then eat, mate, and die.”
“Hm. ‘Interesting’ is one word for that.”
“I can see it now. The 17-year cicadas: Just when you thought you could forget.”
“That’s ridiculous. You watch too many movies.”
“BZZZ, motherf—ers! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.”
Like a year and a half ago I posted a picture of Steve Martin playing the banjo.

Pretty much the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life.

at monash university in melbourne the women’s department had a bake sale and cupcakes were one dollar for men and eighty cents for women and seventy cents for trans* people to represent the wage gap and heaps of guys kicked off about it being sexist and that’s how i finally understood how hypocritical and ignorant men’s rights activism is
to be fair that is pretty darn sexist… why cant stuff just be EQUAL for everyone?
