Thanks to @deborah_b for this link. Because wow. Just wow.
To be honest, I felt hysterical: that Victorian word for the tantrums of unstable estrogen-addled women, but that I know actually describes a rage forcibly contained, the hot burn of the involuntary tears, the snap in your composure when you are told for the millionth time that what you feel or think or say or do does not matter.

”Well, when I changed schools, when I was a kid, my Dad made a point of telling me how much he had always looked forward to Presidents’ Day, when he was a boy, because it’s the law that on Presidents’ Day, the kids who go to school dressed as their favourite presidents get a big bag of candy.”

30 Rock makes Liz Lemon the Joker
dcwomenkickingass:
If you haven’t seen it yet, this week’s 30 Rock features Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon channeling the Joker.

You can watch the whole thing below:
I laughed so hard...
The Lovings
missgreyday:
The couple that helped strike down Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act, ending the prohibitions against interracial marriage.
Direct impact! <3 (I got married in, you guessed it, Virginia!)

And I said, “Oh, I wondered how it’d look if you tried to paint with blood, so I had to get some.”
