“David Garnett was present at the birth of Grant’s daughter, Angelica Garnett...”
– Ew.
It’s like a real-life werewolf imprinting shitshow.
Oh, and this is not in the quote, but David Garnett was also the lover of Duncan Grant, who in his turn was with Vanessa Bell (the mother of Angelica) and was the biological father of Angelica, even though she didn’t carry his name. Which is...

A Price Above Rubies: Stephen Lawrence & Dr... →
priceaboverubies:
Christina Patterson’s ‘My View’ column in today’s ipaper is so chock full of BS it could be used as fertiliser. That’s my view.
First…
The leader, about gang violence in London doing for our young black men, would have stood up perfectly well without using the Stephen Lawrence case as a…

I love Jay Smooth sooooo much.
I love the way he writes and the way he speaks.
I love that he articulates what I’m trying to say in a way that is smart and humorous and succinct, where I would’ve given up and spluttered: “NO SHUT UP. YOU’RE STUPID!”
I am a journalist and writer, by the way.

Cooler Than Zero: On Why Glinda Is THE WORST →
dallowayward:
1. She’s rude.
Glinda: Are you a good witch, or a bad witch? Dorothy: …I’m not a witch at all. Witches are old and ugly… Glinda: ONLY BAD WITCHES ARE UGLY.
O rly? Yet you ask Dorothy which one she is. That’s some passive aggressive shit right there, lady.

Carrie Bradshaw Math
thefrenemy:
Don’t get me wrong- I watch Sex and The City. I never got why she wore a lot of shit on her head, or why she thought Chris Noth was remotely fuckable, but I still dug that slutty old lady who made all the cock puns. I’ve seen most of the episodes, I’ve drank booze and saw them with my ‘girlfriends’ and at one point I concluded I may have been a Miranda even though I’m not a ginger...

Neo-Nazi Father Is Killed; Son, 10, Steeped in... →
“Look what my dad got me,” the boy said shyly, perched on the living room stairs, one of the few quiet spots in a house with five children.
A little more than 12 hours later, the police say, the boy stood near those stairs with a handgun and killed his father, Jeff Hall, as he lay on the living room couch. It was about 4 a.m. on May 1; paramedics declared Mr. Hall dead when they arrived.

When Bad Things Happen to White People (via the... →
femonster:
This is a really interesting article. It talks about how when bad things happen to white people the media is all over it and when bad things happen to people of color there is hardly a mention. The media loves to criminalize women of color, so stories like this are covered more thoroughly, so the idea of “bad” black people can be perpetuated.
It also brings a really interesting...

Books in 2011. So far.
For the first time I’m keeping a list of books I’ve read. Partly for my own edification, but also just for the joy of making lists. Y’know? Not on this list - as I am currently reading them - are Tina Fey’s Bossypants and Michelle Margorian’s Back Home. Have you any recommendations?
The Boy With The Topknot – Sathnam Sanghera
At Home – Bill Bryson (started in...

Saturday Night Activities
I have painted my nails white. Verdict: somewhat freaky, mostly Tippex-y, or what Americans call ‘Wite-Outy’.
Also, I have been watching Archer Season 1. I have found it to be very funny indeed.
More updates from the scene as they occur… Back to studio.

I feel a little bit bad for Nick Clegg, actually. Yes, he fucked up, but the Tories are still fucking us over. So. In future years, I will deny I ever wrote this. I will claim Jedi mind trickery. Just FYI.

Moroccan and Monroe
Those are the names of Mariah and Nick’s twin babies.
MORROCAN AND MONROE.
To be honest, I was expecting ‘Glitter’ and ‘Butterfly Unicorn’, so this is… normal?
Shine on, you crazy diamonds!
