We nieces who lived out of town and couldn’t make it were instructed to honor Terri and her love of loud music by throwing ourselves a peace-disturbing one-person dance party at the time of the service, wherever we were.
I kept my cool for the first two pages, and now feel devastated. Should have seen that coming. Mac McClelland does it again.
Sucks to Your Assmar!

I had the opportunity to make my work count because few people and public policies ever really counted me out.

So regal.
Merida’s original looks aren’t doing much to add to the diversity of women in film to begin with, and we need to keep this in mind when critiquing female representation.
This Ms. piece about Disney’s (idiotic) redesign of Merida made me think a lot about a movie where the plucky heroine is in a wheelchair, Inspector Gadget-style.
