Love this! Two of my favorite things: Disney and Feminism!*
*Yes, I understand how Disney is not feminist and have argued that on several occasions but I can still appreciate it as a reference to my childhood and career aspirations. I want to be someone who changes how Disney portrays woman. Someday, it will happen.

Seriously, if we believe a 14 year old is too immature to know how to take a pill, do we really think she’s adult enough to handle an unwanted pregnancy?
The truth is that the age restriction is completely arbitrary, tied only to our puritanical comfort levels. And listen, I get it; I think it’s fair to say that most people are uncomfortable with the idea of a 14 year old having sex. But here’s the thing - access to Plan B isn’t about keeping a 14 year old from having sex - by the time she gets to the pharmacy, that ship has sailed - it’s about keeping a 14 year old who has already had sex from getting pregnant. And despite what urban legend (or past embarrassing FDA memos) may tell you, making emergency contraception more available is not more likely to make young teens have sex - it will just make them less likely to end up pregnant.
We can’t let our discomfort with teen sex trump young people’s right to sexual and reproductive health and we can’t continue to let politics trump science. If we care about young women’s health and bodily autonomy and integrity, we’ll drop all age restrictions from emergency contraception. Anything less isn’t just illogical - it’s immoral.

If you’re feeling down.. have some Gaston Concept art.
Now I’m really bummed BatB was not set in the 18th century. I want to see Gaston with a funny wig and breaches.
These are beyond hilarious!
You can’t argue with this.

Government spending under President Obama has increased at the slowest rate since Dwight Eisenhower was in the Oval Office more than 50 years ago. Mmm, facts.
