Enchanting Imagery: Agneta and the Sea King
One of John Bauer’s magnificent illustrations for Agneta and the Sea King.
One of my favourite collections of stories is Swedish Folk Tales illustrated by John Bauer, and published most recently by Floris Books in the U.K. Agneta and the Sea King by Helena Nyblom is one of the tales in the…
Actually, I suspect that this is probably an atavistic fairy myth repurposed to define the magical, redemptive power of OUR LORD GOD (this happened to so many poor sad fairy stories; I’m looking at you, Children of Lir), and that Agneta’s merchildren are of little value to the church since, as non-humans, they have no souls — but I suppose one finds one’s feminism where one can.
Agneta’s gross Jesus-flavored betrayal is even more tragic when you consider that the Sea King has really great hair and a fantastic ass.

It pisses me off to no fucking end when people tell me when I meet the right person or I become pregnant I’ll change my mind. I don’t need to become pregnant to know it terrifies the shit out of me. I don’t need to become pregnant to know I cannot handle it. I don’t need to become pregnant to know I would get an abortion. People tell me all the time this is just a fucking phase I’m going through. They never tell folks who want kids this is just a phase. It is the most annoying thing in the world.

Okay, yes, THIS SO MUCH, ALL OF THE THIS, because there is no person “right” enough to make me want to pass on my family’s degenerate genes. The only correct answer to the question, “Does the world need one more person in it who will probably be, worst case scenario, an alcoholic child abuser like 95% of my relatives, or, best case scenario, a mediocre American asshole like myself?” will always be FUCKNO.
To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion, Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell (D-Fairfax) on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication.
