“Legend of Korra”‘s Final Scene Wasn’t Enough and Why We Must Demand More

I’m damn furious that six years ago, Nickelodeon was allowed to show a 12-year-old boy kissing a 14-year-old girl and saying “I love you,” but now, they refuse to show a 21-year-old woman do either of those things with her 22-year-old female partner.

Going to an Outdoor Semi-Formal Event in the F*cking Snow

As for keeping your hands warm, the best way to go is a faux fur muff. I really don’t understand why people don’t still wear muffs all the time. They’re great! They double as a great way to keep your hands nice and cozy and an excuse to make lesbian sex jokes.

Get Baked: Homemade Gingerbread for all Your Festive Needs

“At some point, probably around the time I became a surly teenager and wanted something of my very own to craft and control and create, I decided to start making gingerbread too. At first this was just something I did alone, but gradually my younger brother began helping me, then my older brother, and it kind of became a tradition by accident.”
