    Last I heard, Catwoman became lesbian or maybe she was bi. But the OG catwoman was def a femme fatale type who was Batman's temptress. I think they were genuinely attracted to each other but could never go that far or admit to it - as they were meant to be adversaries! No sex scenes.

    BSC ran for something like 150 books, and nobody was killed off, except for Mimi Claudia's grandma early on in the series. Later they did have a student in middle school who died in a car crash, but she wasn't a main character. In SVH (sweet Valley High) a lot of readers cried or were...

    The Baby-sitters Club books had the OG girl boss - Kristy Thomas. The ghostwriters probably made her out to be lesbian in the later books, fans have always suspected she was 'in the closet' and I'm sure the newer books have her crushing on a girl. Also a lot of the books have token diverse...

    Oh I thought 'woke' meant something to do with BLM Black Lives Matters, not LBGTQIXYZ

    Not just that one, they (well new people) remade The Witches, and Matilda got made into a musical so another movie was made of the musical version. However the first movies were also adaptations of the OG books and didn't always stay true to them. I think thats what happened with Disney movies...

    Is there a...Charlie and the Chocolate factory video game? That scary boat ride would be a trip, and so would the great glass elevator, and the fizzy soda that makes you/Charlie fly and burp. Of course the oompa loompas could be in it, and depending on how much sugar is consumed, would start...

    Wow how many games do you play/have on your PC? Seems like you have heaps! The HK cabins are sort of like that, and Mymelody keeps wanting me to decorate them using layouts, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I just bung in any furniture I manage to scrounge from my scavengers hunts.

    The OG oompa loompas had dark skin, but I think they made them orange for the movie...? The movies kept being remade though, but they are adaptations I suppose and producers will make whatever they think appeals to their target audience...or maybe their own agendas. I know that for LOTR or was...

    what would an example of a 'woke' activist book as I don't play that many games. The only thing I can recall is when the publishers of Roald Dahl books 'corrected' his writing and erased all the bad words he'd put in it, like instead of 'fat' they put in some other word. So the newer editions...

    Land of Hope and Glory Box

    I have a cardboard box I kept from when I worked in the school library, I used it for suggestions. I covered it with duraseal that had coloured polka dots on it. Children would write suggestions on bits of paper of books and things they wanted to read/see in the library. I kept all those...

    It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood! Won't You Be My Neighbor?

    It doesn't have a USB port, but it does have a cigarette lighter thing (IKR??) that I plug in my USB port that charges my phone. I can play music from that and it comes out of my phone. I haven't tried putting a USB stick/flash drive in that port though. I don't know if that music will come out...

    "Girl Vacation", again!

    Wot...vacuumed under the beds? Had breakfast and made extra pancakes? The laundry? Made the beds? With fresh sheets? And chocolates on the pillows? Did you fold the loo paper with a triangle, and make those towel animals too?
