Four out of Five Dentists Recommend Plebefic Headers

1. Disclaimer Marshall and I are going to the zoo. Not true at all. [I... wait, what?]



2. Notes: This is actually an old thing I just found on my harddrive and thought 'eh, wth' so it's totally unbetaed. Hasn't even been looked at. You have been warned, people.



3. [title] "angels fall like rain" [me: ... D: waxjism: ...They're falling really fast then.]

• sami: Back to Patricia Wrede and the Thirteenth Child: You Haven't Read This Post! "And in any case, you can get all you need from the author's description of the premise and her motivation for it[...] further verification isn't really needed, because you can get it from Wrede's own statement."



• spiralsheep: In which it's rarely a good idea to tell me to shut up about social justice "'Can We NOT Do Racefail Again, Please?' "We"? I'd be only too happy if there was no more racefail. In order to achieve that the racefailers need to stop failing so we can all stop having to deal with the consequences of their fail. Which is presumably what your post is going to be about, right? I mean, you wouldn't turn around and ask anti-racist activists to be silent about racism for your own personal convenience, would you? Oh, wait...."



• gwailowrite: Ah, the racefail continues on "It's too hard to include Native peoples because then I'll actually have to deal with them. I don't like the stereotypes but it's just to damn haaaaaaaaard to do anything about those stereotypes. Ya know, I could write about them honestly, counter the stereotypes, and actually include Native people in my magical mystery tour of the early U.S., but that's so haaaaaaaaaard! [...] Oh, and while we're at it...why not get rid of that whole pesky slavery thing. It was like wrong and I like hate it and all, but, ya know, it would be haaaaaaaard to actually address it."
