One gift giver knew exactly what to give this little bookworm! 📚

NOT gentle reminder that Abed Nadir’s father is canonically Palestinian, his grandfather lived in the Gaza strip, and his cousin Abra visits from Gaza in season one. You can not be a Community fan and a supporter of Israel.

Happy Birthday, Jeremy Renner

A Very Happy Birthday to actor, singer, humanitarian and real-life superhero Jeremy Renner who turns 54 years old today!

Jeremy, well known for the hero Hawkeye in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, survived being crushed to death by a snowplow and not only has recovered, but gone on to show what it takes to be a real-life superhero by helping those in his community.

Happy Birthday!

The mall the Knightley’s chose to host Belle’s birthday party had a giant playroom for the kids. Of course, Belle and her friends had to take over the place - even River climbed up on the toddler tunnels to join them!

After aging up, the first person to congratulate her was River! 

River: Happy birthday! Welcome to the big kids club! 

Belle: *giggles* Thank you! I can finally read books all on my own now!

Friends new and old made introductions and caught up by the pool. The perfect event for all of Cinderella and Henry’s loved ones to get to know each other ❤

It’s so interesting how Agatha Harkness loves being a witch, and everything about being a witch: Magick, the craft of Magick. The skill of figuring out how a spell works.

But not the other parts of it: Community.

And, Agatha’s definition what a Witch is, is so damned fascinating. As the hosts of Crazy Stupid Podcast mentioned, Agatha has a scarcity mindset.

For Agatha being a Witch meant being hardened, a survivor at any cost, because it was all Agatha knew of being a Witch. Witches are persecuted, so they do everything to survive.

(Meanwhile, Sorcerers are revered in the MCU.)

Agatha told Wanda there’s always men who want to tear down ladies like them… and it’s true but what she didn’t tell Wanda, is that Agatha would sell everyone else down the river to, to survive.

She’s the Apex predator of Witches.

(And 100% the reason why there’s not a lot of Witches around in both the United States and Europe since it’s apparent that she also went to Europe in her long life.)

And that makes Agatha so fascinating.

Agatha really is like my number one favorite girl, Katherine Pierce. (Who, I realize is older than Agatha too, since Agatha is only pushing 300, meanwhile, Katherine is 500 when we meet her in TVD.)

“Never trust a survivor,” my father used to warn me, with Vartan Mamigonian in mind, “until you find out what he did to stay alive.” - Kurt Vonnegut, Bluebeard

This is pretty much the SOP with both Agatha and Katherine.

Unlike Katherine Pierce, Agatha Harkness has a better chance of finding some kind of grace and peace because the writers actually think she’s interesting, complex and a character worth investing time in. Unlike the TVD writers who just used Katherine as a convenient chess piece to move around.

The thing about Agatha though, is apparently, if you managed to chain her to a group of witches and have her life tied to their wellbeing, Agatha does start to bond with a Coven.

Her paranoia and need to consume magick are the things that keep her from bonding with them. But she’s at her best when she’s guiding people and being a mentor, and a leader.

Unfortunately, Agatha also has a tendency to get people killed or harm them even though she doesn’t have any intention doing so.

‘Witch Killer’ is a nickname Agatha can’t escape from… because it’s true.

It’s time for a toddler playdate! Belle was so excited to see her friend and Zoey has finally aged up, meaning she can play with her and River, too!
