After overcoming a tragic gaming addiction, writing for major industry news sources and Lifetime and training my dog to do fist bumps I launched FemPop to create a place where people could talk about gender and movies and television and games and junk.

FUCKING FINALLY THE ACRONYM IS “GRAPHICAL INTERCHANGE FORMAT” NOT “JRAPHICAL INTERCHANGE FORMAT”
Songs Introduced By Fred Astaire
Pick Yourself Up - Jerome Kern & Dorothy Fields
Written for the film Swing Time (1936), Pick Yourself Up, and is sung by Astaire and Ginger Rogers. The song has been recorded by Astaire and numerous other artists since it’s introduction, and even made an appearance in Barack Obama’s inauguration speech in 2009.
The dance connected to this song has been quoted as being one of the pair’s best, with John Mueller stating: “[the dance] is one of the very greatest of Astaire’s playful duets: boundlessly joyous, endlessly re-seeable.”
Spread the word, y’all!
There’s little to no international media coverage of what is going on in my country, Venezuela, so I’m taking to Reddit to let these images out there for the world to know. Most of them are pretty self-explanatory. But a quick “down-and-dirty”:
Venezuela is divided into supporters of Chavez (called oficialists) and the opposition. After the Sunday elections there has been a non-stop outrage by the opposition after numerous pictures have surfaced of the military (controlled by the Chavez government) destroying the voting urns, driving around in motorcycles to shoot and scare the opposition from protesting and giving weapons to oficialists to “fight for the country”.
In general, the people in red are oficialists, so it’s an easy way of identifying them in the pictures. You can see that is the people wearing red and military suits, who are creating chaos, destroying and killing people.
I’m also adding here several videos that continue to show this insane violence:
The military shooting at people’s apartments: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151647405284009[1]People recording the military on the highway as they transport the voting urns to destroy the votes, and getting threatened: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151647048744009[2]Opposition protest trying to hold back the violent gang of motorcyclists:https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=128343470691534[3]A group of girls trapped in their car in the middle of a street as a small gang of motorcyclist shoot at everyone, point blank: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=293898557410136[4]
And perhaps the most telling of all that Venezuela is a dictatorship, the current president of the National Assembly of Venezuela (The parliament) denying the chance to speak to those who don’t recognize the new fraudulent president: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=512093915520238[5] (There’s a picture in the album that show’s one of those men after being attacked INSIDE the parliament because he opposed oficialists)Lastly, I know there is going to be numerous responses to this from Chavez supporters. I can’t stop that, but don’t be a Sean Penn. Don’t talk about Venezuela if you have never lived here. If you do live here and you think the opposition is the one creating chaos. I ask you to watch those videos and pictures. Venezuela can’t take more division, this is not about the oficialists winning, or the opposition winning, it’s about Venezuela as a whole. Are we going to die separate or live together? The massacre has to stop, the truth must come out. We the Venezuelan people are amazing, but unfortunately we have been pawned against each other for the last 14 years by the government and we forgot that we are all in this together.Note: Fixed previous post that contained a picture not from Venezuela, and a gore photo.EDIT: Apparently the pictures of the burning votes has been flying around the Venezuelan social media under false information. I apologize if that is the case, as the whole point of the post is trying to bring out the light, truth and most important, awareness to what is happening in the country. However, I posted several videos and other pictures and I hope everyone reading this doesn’t dismiss that evidence because of this.Edit 2: I believe I got lost in translation with my “Don’t talk about Venezuela if you have never lived here”. I will like to clarify what I meant was that there is a lot of people pretending to understand the situation as if they lived here (such as the case with Sean Penn, who felt he supported Chavez just because he opposed Bush). Please, talk about Venezuela and inform yourselves, what is going on here needs to be heard by the international community.

An Amusing Game Of Thrones Derails With Visceral Sexual Assaults
He begs Brienne to just “accept” her fate and she quickly snaps back “would you.” No, he wouldn’t because he’s a man. In Jaime’s eyes (and many men’s eyes) he’d still have some minute measure of power despite the act of rape being entirely…
