some old queen


Queen Elizabeth become GB's oldest evah monarch, and Harvey Fierstein can't adopt in China.

USAToday:
Queen Elizabeth II becomes Britain's oldest-ever monarch on Thursday, beating the record of Queen Victoria.

Victoria, born on May 24, 1819, lived for 81 years and 243 days.

Buckingham Palace, calculating longevity down to the hour, said Elizabeth would move past Victoria at about 5 p.m. Thursday — 12 p.m. ET.

shanghaiist (from a year ago):

China announced yesterday it is tightening its adoption rules for foreigners. Starting May 1, the following groups of people will not be allowed to take home a Chinese child:

  • Unmarried
  • Homosexual
  • Obese
  • Disfigured
  • On anti-depressants

We want to be clear we are in no way insinuating that Harvey Fierstein (pictured) is disfigured or on anti-depressants.
