This about sums up how I feel about the Merida changes.
I wasn’t aware of these changes and now that I am, I am extremely disappointed in Disney.
And props to the woman who did this video.
Well done.
Beautiful spoken word by Hollie McNish

Ah, so many pictures of Chris Evans in too small shirts on my dash. I am a happy girl.
What happens if you flip gendered book covers?
You are informed about a book’s perceived quality through a number of ways. Probably the biggest is the cover.
And the simple fact of the matter is, if you are a female author, you are much more likely to get the package that suggests the book is of a lower perceived quality. Because it’s “girly,” which is somehow inherently different and easier on the palate. A man and a woman can write books about the same subject matter, at the same level of quality, and that woman is simple more likely to get the soft-sell cover with the warm glow and the feeling of smooth jazz blowing off of it.
This idea that there are “girl books” and “boy books” and “chick lit” and “whatever is the guy equivalent of chick lit”* gives credit to absolutely no one, especially not the boys who will happily read stories by women, about women. As a lover of books and someone who supports readers and writers of both sexes, I would love a world in which books are freed from some of these constraints.

This is a pretty interesting experiment from author Maureen Johnson.
I read this earlier today. Really, really worth looking at and thinking about. There’s a whole gallery of them.
Reminds me of this post I made earlier.
My writing professor showed us actual pulitzer prize winning books written by women that were getting redesigned in their reprints to look more “chick-lit”
Dammit, Joss. I shipped those two characters.
*facepalm* Laughing a lot harder than is probably sane or healthy right now.
ACCURATE.

So that Crusades exam was not fun. I wanted to write on the first crusade and Saladin, but Saladin didn’t come up so I had to write on Richard the Lionheart instead and sneak Saladin in where I could. I think I did ok but I’ll be thrilled to get a 2:1. I’m expecting more a 2:2 because my professor is a very difficult marker. If I manage a 2:1 there will be rejoicing.
In good news, I AM DONE WITH EXAMS THANK GOD, and next year, provided I get the schedule I want, I will only have to take ONE exam, which will be so much more manageable than three (technically four since I took one in December, but…). I feel terrible for some of my friends who have six or eight. Yikes. I think I would die of stress.
I’m going home this weekend, too, which is nice. Well, I’m going to the place where my parents now reside. It’s sort of home. I won’t get to see any of my friends or the rest of my family, but I’ll be happy to see my parents and my cat, so there’s that.
frills-fantasy-and-outer-space:
No matter which way you’re looking the sonic is always pointed at you…
So earlier I came up with this really great idea
And this kind of fits in with that
So I was thinking for some show (probably either Doctor Who or Supernatural), what if throughout an entire episode, or maybe a season, there was this entity that was continually watching the characters every move.
Invisible.
It watches them all the time.
It’s always right behind them, looking over their shoulder.
At one point, they start to acknowledge this creatures existence. Perhaps they catch glimpses of it. The weird thing is, it know everything about them.
It is at this point in time that the monster starts causing trouble. The characters lives are at risk, and you are scared.
In the end, the Doctor or Dean (or someone) finds a way to make it visible. They find a way to get rid of it.
Maybe the Doctor uses his sonic screwdriver. Maybe Dean shots it with his gun. Either way, they do so by looking directly at the camera. Looking at you.
Aiming at you.
You are the monster.
The screen goes black.
WHAT
