I love Kickstarter. I think that’s clear to people who know me by now? I love it. There’s a dude named Brad Muir and he works at Double Fine and I love the games they make, so much. But before Kickstarter, every time a Double Fine game came out I was a little worried it…
OMG, body, STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!! YOU’RE NOT GETTING ONE OF THOSE FOR A LONG TIME SO JUST QUIT IT ALREADY!

My boyfriend Ali is 5’10” with friendly blue eyes, a dimpled smile and a fit, muscular body. He’s someone you’d expect to see with a really hot, thin woman…not an overweight girl like me. We’ve been dating for 18 months, and, wherever we go - whether we’re walking hand-in-hand through the mall, airport or down the street in his hometown (Glasgow, Scotland) or mine (San Jose, Calif. …
Often painstakingly selected to complete outfits, high heels put stress not just on feet, but on ankles, knees and backs, contributing to the approximately $3.5 billion spent annually in the United States for women’s foot surgeries, which cause them to lose 15 million work days yearly.
Yup.
Let’s go back to 1945…
Let’s not… Let’s play a game called “Context Matters!”
That picture on the left, so iconic and romantic? Yeah, that’s a sexual assault right there. That man was a stranger, a strong stranger who grabbed a random woman on the street, and “kissed” her. In her words:
Suddenly, I was grabbed by a sailor. It wasn’t that much of a kiss… “I felt that he was very strong. He was just holding me tight. I’m not sure about the kiss…it was just somebody celebrating. It wasn’t a romantic event.
That picture on the right, the one that looks like a man holding a woman down in the mists of a riot, her clothes disheveled as he kissed her hard? That man is her boyfriend. He’s comforting her. Her real attackers are the police. An eyewitness stated:
The girl who was knocked over landed head first on the pavement with her boyfriend landing partially on top of her. She was in visible pain, crying, but the two officers gave them a parting shove and moved on.
The left picture: an icon of sexism, male privilege, and female objectification.
The right: real love in the face of brutal state force.

The Marauders BBC Series
DEAD. SO DEAD.
I asked my roommate “are you a harry potter fan?”
she goes “yeah”
so i told her about this new show all excited and shes like “that’s cool”
and im like NO
ITS MORE THAN THAT
DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS
DO YOU UNDERSTAND
NO YOU DONT
dies cause marauders and happy and yesWHERE CAN I WATCH THIS IN THE US I DON’T HAVE CABLE
Guys, it’s not real. It should be, but it’s not. So, you know, BREATHE. Google “The Marauders BBC” and no show comes up. Plus, if this show actually existed, we would have heard about it waaaaaaay before now because JK would have put out a press release herself about any projects with her beloved Harry Potter.
There is, however, an online petition: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/marauders-television-series.html
