Stupid articles and sheepage

Some people think gay people should stay out of politics

Let's just say that all my muses hold the author in equal contempt, including historical!Dracula (not to be confused with historical!Roxula), who's as homophobic as they come, but still agrees that the bisexual sultan Mehmed II was a kickass war leader.

Meme ganked from shezan:

Name a CD you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
Polish ones wouldn't be fair, so... HIM, Greatest Love Songs vol. 666. Mmm, love metal covers of pop hits :D

Name a book you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
Erberto Petoia, "Werewolves and Vampires". A lovely resource on Balkan folklore, but I think it was ever only published in Italian and Polish.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that you think no-one else on your friendslist does:
Kindred: The Embraced was a TV show, but I do have the DVD.

Name a place that you have visited that you think no-one else on your friendslist has:
Wetlina in the Bieszczady mountains? *looks at the Polish portion of the f-list*

Name a piece of technology or any sort of tool you own that you think no-one else on your friendslist has:
No idea, actually. I'm probably the only person with a Caran d'Ache fountain pen...

Ah but Lowri writes for the Daily Mail, which is (apparently) the newspaper most read by women. It specialised in diet tips, anti-imigrant diatribes and scare articles on how working for a living will render you a suicidal infertile single by the time your 32. There was once a famous opinion piece stating that women were so wonderful and designed to have babies in the most adverse of conditions, government sending on maternity wards was a waste of taxpayers pounds.

You have to be really thick to fall for it - but apparently a lot of women do. The holy, shining grail of motherhood as the only worthwhile path to be trodden is a major tennet of rightwing brainwashing PR.

Incidentally, her love for her children did not prevent her from saddling them with the names Merlin and Griffin.

Okay then, I did not realize this came from the idiot papers. That explains much.

Poor things. Well, I hope this makes them stronger, like it did that boy called Sue.
