An Open Letter to the Writers of Glee (Spoiler Alert)

Dear writers,

Putting aside my various issues with the veritable mass of choppy and random plottage this season- I really just wanted to write to you about Coach Beiste. The current plot line, domestic violence and her initially being reluctant to leave her husband- Look. I cannot say that I have any issue with a domestic violence storyline being covered and I think that Dot Jones’ performance was, as always, beautiful. Every time she appears Jones somehow manages to make me cry with joy or the most supremely cathartic empathy and the past few episodes have been no different, but I can’t help wishing that it could have been someone else. Anyone else. 

Beiste’s initial romance plot and her subsequent marriage to Cooter was one of my favourites throughout the entirety of the show. Now- I know that this can’t have been the intention, but I can’t help feeling like she must. That the only man ever to have loved her is domestically abusive. I know that this has nothing to do with that, but honestly? I really NEED her to get her happily ever after.

From a girl who relates way too strongly to her favourite character.

P.S. Wait- Maybe second favourite character… I have a serious soft spot for Mike.

I’ve seen this meme before, but never participated. This time, I was listening to the audiobook of Neil Gaiman’s Fragile Things when I came across it, so I looked up page 45 on Google Books.

Do not fear the ghosts in this house; they
are the least of your worries.

Ah, yes.

So- The nearest book to me happened to be Bonk by the amazing Mary Roach. No jokes. And as luck would happen there are no words on page 45. However there IS a photograph of a woman straddling what looks like a vibrating saddle.

Interviewer:	Give us your best tip for overcoming depression.
Stephen Fry:	To regard it as being like the weather. It's not your responsibility that it's raining, but it is real when it rains, and the fact that it's raining does not mean that the rain is never going to stop. The only thing to do is to believe that, one day, it won't be raining and accept it so you can find a mental umbrella to shield yourself from the worst. The sun will eventually come up.

“never again”

This image is one of the most powerful pro-choice images I’ve ever seen. When I saw it in the newspaper I immediately cut it out and hung it on my wall.

This is not my image. I’m using it with permission from Arthur Newspaper.

I am not pro abortion. This belief stems from my religion. However I am pro choice. And this one of the reasons why.
