Y'know, the background of this shot looks like a prison or a dungeon, which makes me wonder if they're going with the Rondo of Blood plotline where Annette gets kidnapped...except she's managing a self prison break just fine on her own thank you very much.
"Lock me up in here while my man's outside worried sick about me? Fuck this shit! How fucking dare you!"

we are the generation you gave participation trophies to.
we are the generation you gave censored CDs and PG movies to.
we are the generation you spent years overprotecting then threw to the wolves.
now we are the generation running on nothing but coffee and three hours of sleep.
we are the generation working minimum-wage jobs with college degrees.
we are the generation making just enough money to survive.
we are the generation you didn't want to see fail then ensured that we did.

My friend, J, read this last month and she loved it. I wanted to pick it up and see what she was talking about.
I’m not like a huge poetry person, but wow. This one was really good. I blasted through this in a hour. The writing was amazing and beautiful. And the poems really spoke to me. I have a bunch of them saved, and bookmarked. I absolutely want to own my own copy of this. It’s on KU and I definitely will be looking for her other stuff.

If I ever have a daughter, the first thing I will teach her to love will be the word "no" and I will not let her feel guilty for using it.
