Supporting Jennifer Hepler
...litical beliefs uphold it). Considering how we can question Justice in Dragon Age 2, and the events that concept inspires, it seems apt that we would question 'justice' here in the same way. After all, there is no reason to single out Hepler's sex, weight, or personal appearance in making claims against her writing.

The originals i...

...ast year) not watching it sooner. What works the best in this movie is that the cast is almost entirely women and their performances were amazing. Emma Stone, who I think is stellar, was a great center for the story, of course but Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer completely KILL it with how much they make you feel in completley different ways.

Reading Life and Kobo Pulse: The two coolest things about the Vox have some major downfalls that make them out to be cons as much as pros.

EDIT: I just realized that a lot of my formatting is fucked up--the italics in all the indented sections are...
