OMG AMERICA WE DID IT!!! So Ireland beat us to it, which is sad, but AT LONG LAST our government has done the right thing. Redneck states will no longer be able to deny people the right to marry based on their backwards beliefs. This is not a theocracy. Marriage rights are NOT an exclusive privilege to be determined by the state and the rights of citizens may not be governed by religious rules. The fact that this was even a question in the first place is a travesty but I'm so glad the day's finally here. I'm not even gay/bi/trans myself and I just about burst into tears, been waiting so long for this on behalf of my LGBT friends! This is the first time in a long time I'm feeling DAMN PROUD OF THIS COUNTRY.

So...apparently, March 4th (my birthday) is National Grammar Day. This just explains so many things about me. Also, here's one of my favorite related memes.

Let's face it, the 90s was the Golden Age for kids' entertainment. Children today watch either peewee versions of soap operas full of superficial people and problems or cartoons so stupid and mindless I'm surprised their brains survive it. There hasn't been a terrifying show for kids like Are You Afraid of the Dark? in a solid decade. What about fun, creative shows like Land of the Lost or Salute Your Shorts? What about the brilliant and INTELLIGENT cartoons like Rugrats and Hey Arnold? Kids today are treated like first degree wusses who can't handle anything that challenges them to think or use their imaginations, and it's absolutely tragic that they'll never know classics like this.

Are You Afraid of the Dark? remains one of the best anthology series out there, a Twilight Zone for the younger generations (although let's be real, most episodes are well and truly disturbing for viewers of any age). Thanks to a "double feature" VHS purchased by my dad back in the early 90s, which included a very special music video for fans of the show, this has long been a favorite.
