@brooklynnayt @iBartholemeu @aguavrgo @TheFineFeminine Yeah. It’s not that girls mature faster. That’s pseudoscience. It’s that society expects girls to *act* mature much earlier: to control emotions, be compliant, help others. Whereas, of course, boys will be boys. Human brains grow at similar rates regardless of gender.

@Nowacking @tazigo I had a kitty who was terminally ill for quite some time, and some days I had to get creative to get her to eat. But she’d do almost anything for tuna. I’d start up the can opener, and instant “EXCUSE ME! DOWN HERE!” I still sometimes hear her voice when I open a can of anything.

@oldenoughtosay When the Eagles won the Super Bowl, I had a guy in the UK screaming at me that fans had set Philadelphia on fire. I offered to send him a photo of my very-much-not-on-fire view from Center City, but I think he imploded that a woman denied him his righteous anger.

Extremely unpopular opinion time: K-pop idols are, for the most time, grown up humans, and behind them have large companies with many lawyers. They do not need swarms of angry fans charging in over every perceived slight and demanding to speak to the manager.

It might not seem like that big of a deal for a Korean song to have only Korean words, but it's not just that there isn't a rap or a line in English: Korean uses dozens if not hundreds of English loan words. You can hear them in any conversation. This song has not a single one.
