I’m conflicted about liking the show, Bones. It’s fun; it’s interesting, but it is also often sexist and anti-fat in an insulting way.
For instance, Dr. Brennan, as a character, is brilliant, confident, and capable, but when Booth asks her if she’d prefer her partner were a woman, she says, “No, I’d be worried she’d be prettier than I am.”
Wha?

Believing in God is not inherently stupid and I hate that people like to pretend that it is.
However, allowing a belief in God to become a war on reason, truth, etc, because of some idiotic fear that they are attacks on your God IS stupid.
If you really and truly believe in a God who has ultimate control and ultimate power and ultimate responsibility, it really doesn’t show much faith in...

This isn't important, but it is true.
I am 35 years old. I let the wind dry my hair. I never wear shoes if I can help it. I like things to be simple. That may not always be possible, but I really like when it is.
The less baggage I have, metaphorically and literally, the better I feel. I didn’t start carrying a purse until, I dunno, 2008, 2009. Before that, I’d always just carried a wallet with my keys attached.
