Okay, I realize I let Epic Posts on Rape Culture Week bleed over yesterday into what is obviously Childhood Toy Liposuction Week, but let&#8217;s get back on track.
Jezebel posted yesterday about the new look for Rainbow Brite toys, and it&#8217;ll surprise no one who knows what they did to Strawberry Shortcake, Angelina Ballerina, Care Bears, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3813&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Quick hit so we can talk about something other than how I&#8217;m a humorless, comics-hating, loveless feminist who thinks men should be arrested for talking to women in public: Feministing points to Spike TV&#8217;s utterly appalling feature, &#8220;The Top 10 Actresses Past Their Expiration Date.&#8221; Get it?

We&#8217;ve been talking about rape culture and myths about artistry (or, perhaps, artiste-ry) for the last few days, and god help us but it&#8217;s been depressing. I want to continue the conversation a bit but shift it to the somewhat less eye-gougingly bleak realm of the Nice Guy TM, specifically how it relates to geeky guys [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3745&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

But I can get past it enough to enjoy Drop Dead Diva for what it is — a fairly typical Lady Network show with a lot of atypical, unprecedented, truly body-positive twists. It&#8217;s not 100% PUF-approved, but holy crap, it&#8217;s a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=kateharding.net&blog=920046&post=3658&subd=kateharding&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Whatever your thoughts on Michael Jackson, his fame, his music, and his troubled life, I think we can all agree that the songs from Thriller were pretty much the best thing to ever happen to music videos.
