It’s amazing how much work I can get done in one day when my FB account is down…
Midnight biscuits are the best kind of biscuit
Also, holy shit I successfully made biscuits from scratch. And they’re GOOD. I should probably prepare to gain about 20 pounds…

”Fat women are treated as utterly undesirable in our culture [and] are often turned into a ‘bizarre’ fetish object. The result is that fat women are told to be grateful for any sexual attention they receive from anyone, whether they themselves find that person sexually appealing or not. In other words, even more than your average women, fat women are only allowed to be occasional objects of...

That moment when some bro yells “show me your tits!” and you go to flip him off but then realize that you’re wearing mittens.

Can anyone recommend some good non-fiction books about the history of apartheid in South Africa? Reading Coetzee in one of my classes and I’m trying to be at least marginally less ignorant about the topic.

If you think Joe Paterno got a bad rap
kidhaggard:
remember, Jerry Sandusky has six adopted children and also took in foster children. If you don’t put an end to abuse, you’re helping pave the way for more victims.
I hope Penn State is ashamed of themselves.
Absolutely. It’s beyond me why people don’t think Paterno is culpable. He was the first person the grad student reported the rape of that child to, and according...

Less than 2 weeks to go
Writing annotations for my prospectus, rather than the prospectus itself, makes me feel accomplished enough to not totally panic.
The last bit is what I love:
“While sexual intercourse between a woman and a man is thought, by traditional Aboriginal persons, to prepare the woman for conception, the actual conception is assumed to occur much later, when the already pregnant woman is out on her daily round gathering roots and edible grubs, and she happens to step upon (or even near) a song couplet. The “spirit child” lying beneath the...

7th one (excerpt from "Forming Child")
Near the Summit, SE of Kinlichee, I saw a piece of snowmelt water that I thought would look good on a silver bracelet with maybe two small turquoise stones at its sides; but then, I liked the way it was, too, under pine trees, the snow feeding it, the evening sunlight slanting off it, and I knew that you would understand why I decided to leave it like that.

Preheat oven to 400 F. Take two summer squash big enough for stuffing. Cut lengthwise and scoop out insides (leave 1/4 inch border). Place squash halves on a rimmed...

A Pity. We Were Such a Good Invention
They amputated your thighs from my hips. As far as I’m concerned, they’re always doctors. All of them. They dismantled us from each other. As far as I’m concerned, they’re engineers. A pity. We were such a good and loving invention: an airplane made of a man and a woman, wings and all: we even got off the ground a little. We even flew.

I swear,
only my family, knowing that that their daughter was coming home from a 5 week stay in a foreign country, would fail to buy any food for their child. I’m eating a chunk of bread and a piece of cheese for lunch. Can I go back now?

wtf LA.
In Tel Aviv, it’s about $15 for the cheapest, simplest mixed drink. I’m dying.
WHYY are white people so unintelligent?! →

thunderperfektmind:
There’s definitely tons of white folks who don’t consider the issues of colonization beyond a very simplified ‘let’s save the black babies’ view of the world but that seems to be just as much because of intellectual laziness or class privilege. Yes, their white privilege does make it vastly easier to indulge in those two but I still find it extremely...

Studying for my Terrorism final is so uplifting
“…the arsenals of both the Unites States and Russia today contain individual weapons that have more destructive power than all the nonnuclear bombs dropped by all the air forces of the world in all the wars in human history, including the recent bombing campaign against Iraq.” — Nuclear Terrorism, Graham Allison

wilwheaton:
There are few things more sickening — or revealing — to behold than a D.C. sex scandal. Huge numbers of people prance around flamboyantly condemning behavior in which they themselves routinely engage. Media stars contrive all sorts of high-minded justifications for luxuriating in every last dirty detail, when nothing is more obvious than that their only real interest...
