WOW OK SO.
Hang with me on this one.
Smurfette was originally a brunette
Until Papa Smurf turned her into a blonde to make her more appealing to the other, entirely male Smurfs. From Wikipedia:
[Gargamel] had designed her in such a way that she might be attractive to a sad and despicable person like himself, but to the Smurfs she looked like just a male Smurf but with long spiky black hair and a dress....

This guy is my favourite character in the entirety of the Back to the Future trilogy.

Wasn’t That Thing You Do ‘97? I only contest bc my youngest bro was born that year and the night he was born my family was supposed to go see that movie together… instead we got Jake.
Definitely 1996! October 4, 1996 says Wikipedia. Maybe it was still in theaters into part of 1997? I’m sorry you had to get a brother instead of seeing...
1996 in Film

Reply or reblog with your age and how many fillings you have. Feel free to add any other information about your dental hygiene or other procedures you’ve had done, etc.
It’s not a contest, I’m just interested in the range of experiences. I’ll add my own shortly.
Here’s a little…
My teeth are pretty healthy! No cavities or fillings. I did not need braces, though both of my...
I have a headache. I think to myself, I should take some ibuprofen.
I go to the bathroom, get the bottle and take out two pills. I return to my computer desk.
I have to drink something to wash the pills down. I reach for the boiling hot tea I just poured. My mind is screaming because this happens to me all the time, but my body has already begun the action and it will not stop. I burn my...

#dearjohn or Time to Stop H.R.3
I don’t have much of my own voice to add to this, except that it is crucial that you take note of this and act now to stop it. Call or email your representative. Participate in the ongoing Twitter protest. Here’s a brief breakdown of the bill by Sady Doyle:
So, for those unaware of context, here is what is going on. In the “No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act,” which is reprehensible...

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he graduates precisely when he means to.
I must have this on a t-shirt.
Sorry Advisor!
Just emailed my advisor telling her that I will probably eat shit if I try to do both of these research seminars in the same semester. I understand that this is a good example of the workload that one would expect in a Ph.D program, but I’m not in a Ph.D program. Maybe if I didn’t have a job or maybe if financial aid didn’t require graduate students to fully enroll.
Bleh. My...

Neat!
Earlier I complained about having to read 10 books...
Turns out it’s eleven books. And that part only counts for 40% of my grade.
The other 60% is as follows:
A 8-10 page historiographical paper wherein I will READ THE MAJOR WORKS RELATING TO MY FIELD OF RESEARCH AND REVIEW THEM
A 25-30 page research paper based on my own research.
Reading additional articles and journals.
I don’t know what to do. I’m wondering if I...

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?
