Unfrench your habitat?
I feel as if I am failing at unfucking my habitat because I am not doing the 20/10 thing regularly on the stuff I should tidy.
But I did buy (and use) storage containers for my zillion feral nail polishes, and I did sort that box of books into “books under the bed” and “books in the one teeny shelf” and I have made my bed every morning and my lunch for the next day every...

Hello_Schroddie: Transracialism →
hello-schroddie:
is the exact definition of falseness and ridiculousness to me. It is not the same as being transgendered/transsexual. If someone feels as if being born a certain sex is a birth defect, then we should consider it to be so. However, being white, and feeling as if you are really Native/Black/Mexican/etc., does not deserve audience.
I’m going to address what someone messaged me...

Teen Movie Time: Clueless
So far: But I’m a Cheerleader, Bring It On, Saved!.
Internets, you know I’m a Jane Austen nut. But before I read a word of Austen, I saw the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and Amy Heckerling’s adaptation of Emma. They both came out in 1995, the year I turned fourteen.
Yes, Internets, my very first teen movie was:
