Hahaha!
Let me add that while I found the TIME magazine cover annoying mostly because it was trying waaay too hard to be salacious, I don’t have a problem with mom’s making their own decisions about breastfeeding.
This is still funny.

Goths Up Trees is my new fave tumblr. :) There was a guy at my high school who did his hair like Robert Smith every. single. day. It was amazing, really.
A very kind person called HaloCure sent me the photo of all photos with the comment: “Although he famously hates being associated with the term “Goth”, this photo ticks all the boxes required, and then adds another twenty points for you know, being a photo of Robert Smith himself. Up a tree. Huge props and many thanks to Autumn from PicturesofYou.us for this pic.”
OMG WTF BBQ RBRT SMTH UP A TR(ee)!
Yes, he hates to be called a Goth. But we, in the trade, know that the very Gothest of the Goths do not call themselves a ‘Goth’. I have no doubt that he was sitting in this tree when he wrote ‘A Forest’. I mean, really: “Come closer and see, see into the trees”, see that I’m up a tree that is being hugged by a Goth compatible wife while branches hold my jacket up in weird angles. That’s how the original lyrics could have gone, I believe.
I like how his foot is dangling so you can get a clear view of his boot. I like how he’s looking down at us plebs through the angle between his arm and the tree. Points deducted for daylight but I feel, in the circumstances, that Robert Smith gets bonus points for being so Goth he denies being a Goth.
5 out of 5 - Come closer and see, see Robert Smith up a tree
Dear Photograph,
40 years later it’s still nice to know my mom was always one step behind watching over me.

I read the first two Twilight books for a couple of reasons (1) I read really fast (2) everyone was talking about them. I enjoyed the first two books just fine, but it wasn’t anything that great. *eh* paranormal romance *shrug* was kind of my response. I didn’t bother to read any more, as it didn’t grab me that much.
But after awhile I started thinking over the story - targeted as it is to teenagers - and now that I have a daughter and all…and I really really dislike the message it sends. This post below really articulates a good reason…
I have a couple of acquaintances who are devoted Twilight fans. (other moms I know through various playgroups) And it really bothers me that they are so crazy about the story. I mean, I don’t really know any teenage girls right now, but are they as crazy about the story as well?
What I hate the most about New Moon: Meyer romanticized suicide.
I understand that teenagers (and grown-ups, too) have volatile emotions. A broken heart really can seem like the end of the world. People get depressed and feel like they have nothing to live for. I know.
Though I’m not a person…
