Amelia

21 years ancient. Weird. And sometimes ridiculous.

Some things I love and in no particular order:

The Beatles, Ani DiFranco, Harry Potter, Sushi, Alexisonfire, The Mighty Boosh, Born Ruffians, Sherlock (BBC 2010 to be specific), Doctor Who, Studio Ghibli movies.

oh-my-golly: shortformblog: Today on the ”dingo ate my baby” beat, which is still an open case 32 years later: Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton is trying to get the status of her daughter Azaria’s disappearance from “unknown” to reflect the fact that a dingo likely killed the child. Chamberlain famously went to jail on murder charges before chance evidence later proved that she and her then-husband Michael were telling the truth about the freak incident. I really really hate the fact that a lot of people (including a whole lot of Americans who don’t even understand that it was a real case) think that shouting ‘Dingo ate my baby’ is hilarious. A baby DIED. She was taken away by wild, savage dogs and eaten. A poor helpless baby. It’s not fucking funny. If an American woman camped out in some forest with her husband for some reason and her baby was taken away and eaten by wolves, would that be hilarious? Azaria was thirteen months. It wasn’t a ‘freak incident’. There are hundreds reports of children being attacked by dingoes. This family deserves some freaking peace. I for one, admire the bravery of Lindy Chamberlain. She’s asking her child’s death certificate to be changed, even though she could go on her way quietly. And jesus, even if people feel the fucking need to joke about it, can it not be the fucking Americans?  /rant
