Bones sucks at product placement!
Isn't the point to make these things *less* obvious?
Hodgins: (looking at Angela's camera while driving, car swerves into another lane and starts beeping) What's that?
Angela: Oh! The Prius helps you stay in your lane.
Hodgins: The Prius helps you stay in your lane? Cool! Let's do it again! (swerves)

And if you are in the process of planning a wedding, or recently got married, you’ve probably seen quite a few yourself. It could just be a trend, or it could just be the photos I see here on Tumblr and on the popular wedding websites (or it could be both), but I’m kind of getting tired of the…

On Not Changing Your Name
So you can’t reblog something that was posted on a group blog of yours to your personal blog? That’s sad! I wrote a (in my opinion) funny post about not changing your name when you get married for Deconstructing the Fairytale and wanted to reblog it for fun here. Alas, I cannot. So here goes some fancy copy-paste. Enjoy!

This Tumblr is a place to collect bits of thoughts too large for Twitter (@samsanator - follow me!) and too short for my other blogs Small Strokes - a feminist blog that started as a grad school project and evolved to...

News & Notes from Poetry Worlds: Chew your poems... →
poetrynews:
There has been some debate over whether the Internet has changed the way we read. It’s certainly changed the way we can read. Every day we can have fresh poems to read – we never have to read the same poem twice – we can read them and move on, read them and move on. But is that the way poems…

feministhemes:
While I agree somewhat with most of what the ladies over at feministing had to say about Black Swan, I disagree with their minimization of the impact of Natalie Portman’s body in this film.
For instance, Jos stated Natalie “didn’t just get even more skinny, she got a body that looked like…

A principal at a Long Island high school has blocked a group of LGBT and straight students from forming a gay-straight alliance at Valley Stream South High School. The principal, Maureen Henry, denied the request after three students — with the support of several hundred of their classmates — submitted a proposal to form an official school club.

This policy finally gives LGBT families the same rights as straight families in making decisions and taking care of their loved ones who are ill. This includes visitation rights and patient final rights.
