An article about feminism and princesses and toddlerhood...

Good read. Taken from sff_corgi (whom I just shamelessly linked to instead of linking to the article proper).

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I avoid pink when dressing Ana in the morning. It's so... bland. Plus, it makes her easy to lose in the crowd, and how I can do *that* in a room full of white kids (SICM. Lovely place, but the toddler programs are lacking some needed variety in their customers), I *don't* know.

Anyway, her favorite color seems to be orange. She asks for it a lot, if I give her a choice.

A link on "Peculiar English"....

Two passages in English, one in a very Anglo-Saxon version, and another using only Greek-origin words. Taken from elfster.

To this, I add the Archaic English Project, may it bring us all joy.

Edit: It took me a long time to find the link and name, but the whole thing reminded me strongly of For a Change. At least, I *think* that's what it reminded me of.
