Vania: All the dining food tastes like shit and there’s no milk so I’m eating cereal and chocolate ice cream for dinner
Yesterday I had half a pizza for lunch, and another quarter for dinner. Today I had yesterday’s pizza lunchables for breakfast and the rest of that ossified pizza for lunch.

Daniel Handler, AKA Lemony Snicket, gives love advice on twitter. (Part 1)
“If she eats asparagus, you should develop a taste for it anyway.”
i actually really do enjoy the way martin writes dialogue. i have my complaints, but his books are good! my main gripe is simply the length; i felt clash of kings should have been maybe half its size, if at all its own book. and apparently it’s a recurring problem, because i’ve heard the first half of a feast for crows is p boring. asoiaf was originally planned as a trilogy, and at times i feel it suffers for the extended length (see: robert jordan and wheel of time). keep in mind that i’ve only read the first two novels of the series, so.
let me tell you though game of thrones was like rly good, and i hear a storm of swords is totally the shit f’realz.
i tend to be picky about the books i buy for myself, so no i wouldn’t buy the rest of the series. but if you like fantasy novels or just like to read, it’s definitely worth borrowing/pirating/checking out from the library. you could be a cool kid and talk about books with me and torie :o
some classmate roped me into square dancing at a church in temple city. out of ~30 people, three were under the age of forty, three were non-white. everyone was incredibly friendly. a sincere, welcoming friendly - not the uncomfortable, quiet bewildered sort you get when you ask what exactly is in a “country breakfast” at rod’s grill. i’m going back next week.

ok so i think these are super cute and they’re only three dollars but i can’t really justify getting it for myself because what am i even going to do with these but maybe some of you will like them?
i have no words for how disappointed i am in this book.
ok no i totally do: i was really disappointed. if i wanted to read a few hundred pages of filler i’d pick up naruto or some shit at least i’d have pictures.

[…] I’ve sometimes wondered if one day when I try to go home, someone will stop me at the door and say: “Where are you going?” “I’m heading home, I’m done for the day!” “But you don’t work here anymore, this IS your home!” Then I look down, and realize I’ve got a walker and a body that’s 90 years old. Just considering that scares the shit out of me, and for many old people, they go through this nightmare multiple times a day for the rest of their lives.
White folks shut the fuck up and listen. We don’t have a white history month because our history is fucking glorified in society. Flip open a US history text books and you will find a white person to glorify. There is a really good fucking chance that white person will also be a white man. Which is also why we don’t need a special month to celebrate all the shit white men did in history. We keep that for women’s history month since women of color are shit on in that month. The majority of the women mentioned in women’s history month are white. Our whole fucking society is catered to white people. Turn on the fucking tv and you will see someone who is white. You won’t even have to go looking for them because they will be on some tv show you are watching. You never have to ask “why aren’t we learning about white people in history?” because they are in every fucking history lesson. The history of the US is what white men were doing throughout US history. The women you will learn about will be presidents wives, especially Abigail Adams (we just love Abigail and John’s relationship), and some famous white women like Susan B Anthony. Now with the 2008 presidential election passed we will also learn about Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin. If you are really fucking lucky you will learn about the women who ran for president before Clinton even got the idea.
To learn about white history all you have to do is go down to your local bookstore. The history section is full of books on white men’s history. You have to go to the African American, Asian, African, women, etc. sections to find anything on everyone else. If you are really lucky in the history section you will find books on white women. However, you will not have a problem finding books on white women’s history in the women’s studies/history section. There are a shit tone of books on what white women were doing in history there. Books on women of colors history will be harder to find in whatever section you look under. The books on Asian, African, African American, etc. history sections are dominated by men. When you are done, go to the section on classic books. You will find plenty of classics written by white men. You’ll find some by white women and even fewer by people of color. You can then just browse around the store and see who wrote the books. The majority of those authors will be white people. Are you finally starting to notice something? The majority of the people we recognize in society are white.
Fine, you don’t want to leave your house to go down to a book store. Turn on the history channel. You know who you are going to see? White people. You will get to learn about white peoples history. You can learn about all the wars we have been in. You can even learn about what all the white people were doing in WWII, since the history channel just loves that fucking war. You can turn on PBS and see mostly white people. You can turn on shows with a “diverse” cast like Glee and still see mostly white people. You can than turn on CMT and see all white people and Darius Rucker. You can turn on MTV and see a lot of white people again. See why we don’t need our own tv station? We dominate 99% of them. Our history dominates the history channel. Our stories dominate the majority of the stations. Society is fucking geared towards us. Society worships the ground we fucking walk on. You know why? We live in a racist society dominated by white supremacy.
So when you decide to whine about how there is no white history month, no white tv station, etc. just look at the media, history textbooks, books, and US society. It is dominated by white people. We fucking dominate society so shit your fucking ass down and shut up. Whining why there is no “white history month” only makes you a dumbass and racist fuck. You know why you are allowed to make comments like “why is their no white history month?” because of white privilege. We don’t have to question why there is no white people taught about in history classes, why there are no white people in a tv show, etc. It is something we see everyday without fucking thinking about it because of our white privilege. We don’t have to ask questions like that because white people dominate US society.

i wish i had known enough to tell ian why we didn’t need a caucasian club.
C’mon, Internets and/or savvy Obama campaign staffers, you’re gonna make this a meme, right?
Miss M’s original post that inspired this Tumblr.
“This is ONLY the hospital and does not include the doctor, the assistant, the anesthesiologist, the labs, my primary doctor (for pre-surgery clearance) or any other provider.
The hospital billed $40,316.02 Forty-thousand dollars. Of that, the agreed rates between the insurance and the hospital took off $6,047.40. My portion due is $4,155.69. Almost forty-two hundred bucks. Which is a hell of a lot less than $40k, but still shows how HUGE an expense this surgery is. It’s why healthcare needs to be affordable for everyone.”

Germany has the economic strengths America once boasted: Germany with its manufacturing base and export prowess is the U.S. of yesteryear, an economic power unlike any of its European neighbors. It has thrived on principles America seems to have lost.
The couple, in their early 50s, aren’t retired or well off. They live in a small Tudor-style house in this middle-class town about 30 miles northwest of Frankfurt. He’s a foreman at a glass factory; she works part time for a company that tracks inventories for retailers. Their combined income is a modest $40,000.
Yet the Krugers have a higher standard of living than many Americans who have twice that income.
Their secret: little debt, frugal habits and a government that is intensely focused on high production, low inflation and extensive social services.
That has given them job security and good medical care as well as well-maintained roads, trains and bike paths. Both of their adult children are out on their own, thanks in part to Germany’s job-training system and heavy subsidies for university education.
For instance, Volkmar’s out-of-pocket costs for stomach surgery and 10 days in a hospital totaled just $13 a day. College tuition for their son runs about $260 a semester.

Last night, a Democratic campaign manager in Arkansas arrived home to find his child’s cat murdered, the word ‘LIBERAL’ written on the carcass.
1. Because pockets are not a natural right.
2. Because the great majority of women do not want pockets. If they did they would have them.
3. Because whenever women have had pockets they have not used them.
4. Because women are required to carry enough things as it is, without the additional burden of pockets.
5. Because it would make dissension between husband and wife as to whose pockets were to be filled.
6. Because it would destroy man’s chivalry toward woman, if he did not have to carry all her things in his pockets.
7. Because men are men, and women are women. We must not fly in the face of nature.
8. Because pockets have been used by men to carry tobacco, pipes, whiskey flasks, chewing gum and compromising letters. We see no reason to suppose that women would use them more wisely.
