Rise and Shine, Detroit - National Geographic... →
gingermandy:
For every ludicrous reason someone finds to hate on Detroit, a local can find 100 reasons why they are wrong. This article in National Geographic is the most incredible read on the city I’ve found in quite some time, and gives the most compelling and realistic view of what’s going on here that I’ve ever read. So glad to call this city home.

I was making my breakfast this morning
And our new cat, Max (who is about 10 months old) was tearing through the house like a madman. He jumps from the floor to the stove to the top of the fridge to the counter before running out of the kitchen, in under about five seconds. I know cats are known for doing things like this, but our last cat was old and mostly just slept. So I’m still always surprised when this new guy is so...

Bucket list: Throw some HEARTY fucks around
INTERVIEWER: Give me one of your purely satisfying mean moments. TINA FEY: The first thing that comes to mind is a more recent one, when Amy Poehler and I were in the airport last week in Toronto and we were getting hassled by this middle-aged businessman who was doing that thing that middle-aged businessmen do, being rude. And then Amy, in the middle of the airport, screamed, “Fuck you, you...

Maybe read some poetry or prose. Lay in bed and be left alone.

For real, fuck the Anoka-Hennepin school district.
This article is one of the most upsetting things I’ve read recently. And fuck all the adults in this school district.

dickmilk:
I don’t understand why abortions are allowed to women who want to terminate just because their baby is an accident. Fair enough if you’ve been raped, the contraception failed, you’re underage, mentally ill, if the pregnancy puts you in any sort of danger, or if the child is going to be deformed and therefore won’t have a good quality of life. But if...

An Open Marriage
tomyhusband:
Just to be clear, Newt Gingrich didn’t ask for an open marriage. That raging narcissist asked his ailing wife for permission to continue cheating. There’s a huge difference.
Abortion saved my life: I almost died in an... →
“My two kids at home almost lost their mother because someone decided that my life was worth less than that of a fetus that was going to die anyway. My husband had told them exactly what my regular doctor said, and the ER doctor had already warned us what would have to happen. Yet none of this mattered when confronted by the idea that no one needs an abortion. You shouldn’t need to...
A message that was sent to me on OkCupid:
“I found your profile and you sound interesting. My name is Scott and I’m a graduate student studying engineering. Many of the things you listed in your profile sounds like everyone else’s profile. What makes you so different?”
I didn’t realize this was a job interview.

I messaged a guy on OkCupid.
Before this I always waited for everyone to message me first. But when that didn’t work out too well, I finally ballsed up and messaged someone. But now I’m too afraid to read his response to me.
Because I’m a 12 year old child, obviously.
People are saying it's too soon for Joe Paterno...
