Well, damn. The world is a crazy place right now.
But nerds everywhere can rejoice in these glorious happenings all over the globe. I hope these lift your spirits and make your heart happy.
Since many of us are finding ourselves spending more time at home than usual, it’s the perfect time to read more books!
Reading can be a great bonding experience, ESPECIALLY if you have kids around. Studies have shown that reading with children is one of the best things you can do for their education.
I spend a lot of my Netflix time browsing through the kids channel. I’d love to blame my nieces and nephews, but really I’m just a child at heart. I enjoy the wholesome and imaginative feeling of kids shows and the way they distill complex issues into simple truths.
Here are the top Netflix kids shows that you need to binge RIGHT NOW!
The Harry Potter franchise changed the landscape of reading forever. The series reawakened a love of reading in adults and children alike.
But some of us get stuck with knowing what to read next. The problem with a great series is that they cause a book hangover (It’s a real thing. There’s an Urban Dictionary definition and everything).
You’re sad that the story is over, and reluctant to try anything new because it won’t be as good.
Never fear! There are book nerds like me who can confidently recommend what you should read next.
Alright, alright, I know “best fandom ever” are fighting words. I myself am a dedicated member of more fandoms than I can count.
However, my sneaky use of a controversial title got you here, didn’t it?
Now, you are my captive audience to preach the theology of ponydom to, and hopefully I’ll convert you into this amazing fandom.
When you look back at the role of women in comics up to the 1940s, it’s enough to make a modern-day feminist’s eye twitch. Generally, they were damsels in distress, sugar-sweet nurses, or simple love interests.
We’ve come a long way since then, with superwomen gracing our comics and screens everywhere we look. Whilst most superhero franchises on the big screen still have more men than women, there have been considerable improvements in the past few decades.
Being a book nerd doesn’t necessarily mean you’re the smartest person in the room… but it usually means you’re the most likely person to try and sneak a book into a party. Tony Stark is a known genius (billionaire/playboy/philanthropist), but can you really picture him contentedly curled up with a book and cup of coffee on his down time? He’d go stir crazy and invent a robot to download the information into his brain, or something.So without further ado… Here’s a list of our favorite super-powered book nerds.
Who doesn’t love a good Disney movie? Most of us have fond childhood memories of the Disney-universe. This list is an ode to all the animated lady bosses who show young girls what it means to be a badass. Here are my top 10 badass Disney women.
NOTE: This list is from original Disney animations. It does not include the more recent additions of Fox, Marvel, and etc. Otherwise we all know who would top the list…
