yep.
Watch out. She’s creepin.
TV can be great.
I call bullshit. Humans can’t do that.
Yep. My nephew is definitely cooler than all of us.

![In The News:
The Florida Family Policy Council [a conservative Christian organization] sent out a message about a judge’s ruling to allow a lesbian couple to adopt a relative’s child they had been fostering. The FFPC, which opposes gay adoption, sent out an alert to its members and including an image of the couple… well, in theory. On the left is the photo included with the alert; on the right is a photo of the actual couple.
It’s very obvious use of a stereotype what lesbians look like as a scare tactic. The actual couple doesn’t fit the ideal of the androgynous-looking, angry, mannish lesbian couple. They look like nice middle or upper-middle class professional women who can raise a child perfectly well. They’re attractive by mainstream heterosexual norms of femininity. They look happy and non-threatening.They are simply not sufficiently menacing.
As Nicole points out, the couple on the left isn’t just a stereotype of lesbians, it’s associated with a particular working-class aesthetic, especially the mullets. They aren’t thin and conventionally attractive like the couple on the right.
The FFPC says the use of the wrong image was a mistake. Though it seems they’ve made similar errors before when alerting members about gays and lesbians trying to adopt children.

My nephew turned 3 yesterday. His name is Spencer and he’s cooler than you. Fact.
Mississippi River Meander Belt.
Where I’d rather be instead of working right now.
Why I don’t want kids anytime soon Reason #212: Because someday she’ll be a teenager and start wearing makeup, and I’ll have to exclaim some lame definitive like, “Your not leaving the house that, young lady.” And she’ll ask why and I’ll have to say, “Because you look like a slut.”
Or something like that.
A really cool series. More here.
That’s not fair.

The camera store I worked at in high school had one of these. It’s a lot tackier than it appears in the photo.
