Beyond Even This Maggie Anderson Who would have thought the afterlife would look so much like Ohio? A small town place, thickly settled among deciduous trees. I lived for what seemed a very short time. Several things did not work out. Casually almost, I became another one of the departed, but I had never imagined the tunnel of hot wind that pulls the newly dead into the dry...

Google and its slide toward evil
Fucking hell.
I am not one to overreact, or get all up in arms about every infraction of or threat to internet privacy. When content-related ads appeared in Gmail, I read up about it and decided it was okay. And other times I prefer to stick my head in the sand.
But what Google’s doing now is really, really troubling, and all the more because my life is too fucking tied up in Google...

Everyone needs to read this fanfic
tigerthetaoiseach:
I’m guessing most won’t but it’s hands down my favorite. Ever. As in I have read all of the chapters and time stamps like a hundred times each way too often. The authors, LaviniaLavender and Brosedshield are completely amazing and everything is flawless.
READ THE WARNINGS.
I didn’t. That was my bad. It turned out okay, because I have a strong stomach, and because I am a...

sunneinsplendour:
So this is a post that has been a long time coming, ever since I started tracking the Betty Draper tag basically and was exposed to a whole new level of vitriol that I didn’t think a fandom - whom I always used to consider pretty classy - was capable of. I’ve compiled the most ridiculous criticisms of Betty that I’ve seen both here, and on other discussion boards,...

Maester Luwin and Magic
nobodysuspectsthebutterfly:
bronzedragon:
My opinions about Luwin are pretty much identical to nobodysuspectsthebutterfly’s - basically, you can imagine a young idealistic maester-in-training trying to learn magic, trying to get it to work, constantly failing, getting made fun of, and becoming bitter and discouraged. If nobody could get something to work, it would be easier to believe that...

Ooh, many more zingers in this one. (And hopefully with fewer formatting issues…)
0 minutes. “Only one thing is certain,” CNN’s opening montage declares. “Expect the unexpected.” That hits the spot. We need false hope at a time like this. It’s the 19th Republican debate. Everything that can happen probably already has. The screen flickers with a Romney video clip from the campaign trail....

Hi you! You changed your name back after I was getting used to the other one.
I just had to reblog the Disney confession with my two cents since hey, I was in law school and I totally know where the OP’s coming from.
Of course, now it seems like my best career bet at the moment is to...
