WHAT is all this crap I am hearing about the lottery. I didn’t realize people even bought lottery tickets outside of office pools.

4. If you’re on a date with someone, it’s never, ever the right time to get out your acoustic guitar.

11. A good tip for dating (and life) is to practice your “I’m totally not upset” face in the mirror, like how nominated actors practice their “good loser” face before the Oscars. This way, if someone rejects you, you can just make the face and at least they won’t be able to tell how...

This is all anyone should need to know about abortion to know that it should always be legal.

If all you know about healthcare “death panels” is what you heard on a talk show, then you must think the feds will pull the plug on patients.
News bulletin: Texas already has death panels.
A Houston man’s life was ended last week.
A leukemia patient identified only as Willie…
Ooo I gotta look into this.
How to Get Your Book Banned in Arizona

Step 1: Write about people who aren’t white.
Step 2: THERE IS NO STEP TWO.
You will very rarely see me curse, tumblypoos, but…but…I mean, what the fuck? How is this even possible? This reads like an Onion article.
To be clear, it is now ILLEGAL to teach de la Pena’s novel (which I’ve read and which is excellent) in schools, not because the book contains...
bananaleaves:
downloading in a post-megaupload world is kind of like that scene in a dystopia where the intrepid heroes find the ruins of some lost civilization with a few intact artifacts here and there
something great once stood here
and after two hours of searching maybe you’ll find someone’s old necklace
(it’ll take you another hour to fish the necklace out of the ground if you’re lucky)

Mitt Romney: 'That's a big lava lamp,...

gop-circus:
Mitt Romney visited a Google office in Chicago today & carried on with his typical quirky yet sad attempt at small talk when he told an employee with a lava lamp on his desk: ”That’s a big lava lamp, congratulations.”
Oh, Mittens.
I currently really hate Romney, but when I see stuff like this I can’t help but sympathize. I’m also quite...

Hello to all the unemployed, funemployed, underemployed, or people who just plain hate your job! This challenge has three parts. Pick the one that’s applicable to you, or do all three if you need to.

Sometimes you meet the exact right person at the exact wrong moment. Fuck, man.
And sometimes you scramble so hard to meet anybody at all because it seems like the exact right moment. Sometimes a place for love opens up in your life so you find the first beating heart and try to stuff it in the void, even if it’s a square peg and you’re a round hole. Never do...

Some depressing facts: Nearly half of people ages 16 to 29 do not have a job. A quarter of those who do work in hospitality—travel, leisure, and, of course, food service. A study of 4 million Facebook profiles found that, after the military, the top four employers listed by twentysomethings were Walmart, Starbucks, Target, and Best Buy. The restaurant industry in particular is booming; one in 10...
Deleted my OkCupid
I don’t care how many people I know have found someone with it. It’s just not the right tool for me at this time in my life. AKA it wasn’t working very well and only served to make me a little depressed every time I logged in. I got a fair number of messages, even a few from guys who seemed really promising. But most of the time the only messages I got were from ugly guys/guys...

Teju Cole’s Seven Thoughts on the Banality of Sentimentality:
1. From Sachs to Kristof to Invisible Children to TED, the fastest growth industry in the US is the White Savior Industrial Complex.
2. The white savior supports brutal policies in the morning, founds charities in the afternoon, and receives awards in the evening.
3. The banality of evil transmutes into the banality...

Missed the volunteer open house I signed up for...
For some idiotic reason I was thinking that today was March 6th. I’m so glad I mentioned it to my mom - she was the one who looked it up and let me know that actually the open house was yesterday. Or I would have shown up there today, like a moron.
The next open house isn’t for another two weeks. I’m so fucking disappointed with myself. I don’t like my regular job and was...

I tend to skip them due to the way the font is different. It just messes with my dashboard reading flow.

“Grey is a word for nothing (bone)(a sponge, thinning). Grey is a signal (exhaust, caught in rising) of loss, a confirmation (in the desublimate) of transience. Grey is a word for being amongst things. A word for the longing for more. And here in the interval the mind fills the lapse between then and now, tightening the outlines,...

I hate when people just burst into the office...
I usually keep the door locked so that doesn’t happen, but OF COURSE the one day I forget, some obnoxious “sales rep” decides to stop by. It would be one thing if I had coworkers, but most of the time I’m here by myself.
This guy today, says he is a sales rep for some office supply company. But he doesn’t have a business card because “most of the time those...

But I finally found that overdue library book and am in need of tampons. Late night errands can’t get more tedious.
