What's Your Favorite Quote About Being A Parent?
Posted by Unknown on Friday, August 21, 2015
“Everything depends on upbringing.”
It would be impossible to encapsulate the experience of parenthood in one quote.
But some might get close.

Maybe Jodi Picoult perfectly described motherhood when she said, "Once you sign on to be a mother, [24/7] is the only shift they offer."

Or maybe it was Gail Tsukiyama's gentler take: “Mothers and their children are in a category all their own. There’s no bond so strong in the entire world. No love so instantaneous and forgiving.”

33 Things That SHOULD Have Happened On "Game Of Thrones"
Posted by Unknown on Friday, August 21, 2015
“Brienne, Podrick and the Hound move into an apartment together, and thus a hit sitcom is born.” All of this is canon now.
1. Ned Stark says, "On second thought, let's not go to King's Landing. 'Tis a silly place." The Stark family then lives on forever.
2. Drogo learns about the wonders of Neosporin and maybe lives instead of dying from being too macho.
3. Jon Snow and Ygritte actually do stay in that cave and eventually die of too much sex.
4. Varys puts out a "Seriously, Don't Trust Littlefinger" PSA, saving countless lives.
5. Cersei drunkenly binge-watches Pretty Little Liars and starts sending threatening texts to Margaery signed "A."
6. Ned Stark starts using dad jokes on his daughters, including "Arya coming with me or not?" and "You're not making any Sansa!"
7. Littlefinger is magically transported to Baltimore, Maryland, where he runs for mayor.

8. Syrio Forel continues to train Arya and the two become masked vigilantes in King's Landing.
9. Joffrey goes hunting and, like his "father," is also killed by a boar.
10. The boar is actually Tyrion in disguise.
11. Stannis tells Melisandre to shove it and actually listens to the advice of his most trusted fucking lieutenant for once.
12. Stannis does basically none of the things that he actually did thus far.
13. Except for his grammatical corrections, which lead him to start a Twitter account in which he just shames people for confusing "less" and "fewer."

Someone Edited The "Harry Potter" Movies So That Only People Of Colour Speak
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, August 20, 2015
BuzzFeed News spoke to Dylan Marron, who’s highlighting Hollywood’s problem with people of colour.
It was founded by actor, writer, and director Dylan Marron, who is best known for voicing Carlos on the popular podcast Welcome to Night Vale.
The entire Harry Potter film series is over 20 hours long, yet people of colour speak within it for an average of 28.33 seconds each.
In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2001), there are only four speaking parts for people of colour, making up 99 seconds of the entire movie.

There's A "Humans Of Newtown" Book That Shows Off Sydney's Most Unique Suburb
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, August 20, 2015
You do you, Sydney.
If you've been on the internet for any amount of time since 2010, there's a high chance you're familiar with Humans Of New York. Since you probably fell in love with it, you'll be pleased to know Humans Of Newtown exists.
As you can imagine, it features some beautiful, and insanely inspiring people.
Jo Wallace
Not only does HON exist online, a book - curated by the blog's founder, Jo Wallace - is now available for pre-order.
"The blog started in March 2014," Wallace tells BuzzFeed Life. "We commenced work on the book earlier this year – reworking content and collating responses to our Facebook posts, and adding a few longer versions of stories."
Jo Wallace
Wallace, a long-time Newtown resident, has photographed around 250 people since the project commenced, and she doesn't have a favourite shot.
"I have a few favourites but one of the interesting parts of compiling the book was revisiting content, as some photos grew on me with time. It’s more about the stories that make me love some images more than others. Or some shots where I feel I’ve captured an expression or a funny moment at the right time."
Jo Wallace
While Wallace occasionally explores surrounding Sydney suburbs Enmore, Erskineville, Marrickville, St Peters, and sometimes Glebe, she believes Newtown itself is the most iconic.
"I’ve travelled fairly extensively - and lived overseas - and I can’t say I’ve found too many places like Newtown. I always felt it was the people that made it unique, and then the community that collectively embraced that uniqueness," she says.
