Just a Girl in the World: Being Single → poptartsandtears.tumblr.com

I went out with a boy last night. It wasn’t a date. I really don’t think it was a date. The bar was so loud we couldn’t really hear each other talk. I’d probably never see him again if it wasn’t for the fact that he only knows one other person in the entire state of California besides me. I guess…

Decon Ile: An Unofficial Letter from the CEO of Abercrombie & Fitch → deconile.tumblr.com

deconile:

Abercrombie & Fitch is a brand name that everyone knows. It is associated with the cool crowd. Everybody wants to be seen wearing Abercrombie clothes. It means your hip, and fly, and everybody wants to hang out with you because you’re cool. It means you’re thin, and hot, and have a body image…

Womaning

Brian Regan said it best when he said (approximately),

How would I describe my pain?

Well…

It feels like everything on my *inside* wants to be on my *outside*.

Thank You, Authors

It takes practice to be accurate and authentic, and I’m so grateful to those who take the time to hone and and tone their blood before they pour it out. A writer might be accurate but lack authenticity, or might flamboyantly and boat-missingly neglect the delicate, spider-webbed details that earn a reader’s trust, but the right combination will bring anyone to their knees. Or tears. Or their feet. Or orgasm. Or someone’s deathbed, or the birth of the whole wide world.

Screw Journey

Please stop believing the pain and stress that people push on you. It’s made up. Doesn’t that count for anything? It’s totally made up.

Face off

I often want to show my face and share my name and come out of the anonymity closet, but it’s not smart, so I won’t. I did, however, throw a crappy pic of me into the Radom effects machine into the fab iPhone photo editing app and emerge with a new avatar. It’s cheesy, but it shows that I have a neck, which is important, I think. Here’s hoping you can’t take the phot and undo all the effects bc I look damn shitty in it. Thank you, cheesy effects.

“For readers interested in learning more about how not to be labeled as registered sex offenders, a good first step is not to rape unconscious women, no matter how good your grades are. Regardless of the strength of your GPA (weighted or unweighted), if you commit rape, there is a possibility you may someday be convicted of a sex crime. This is because of your decision to commit a sex crime instead of going for a walk, or reading a book by Cormac McCarthy. Your ability to perform calculus or play football is generally not taken into consideration in a court of law. Should you prefer to be known as ‘Good student and excellent football player Trent Mays’ rather than ‘Convicted sex offender Trent Mays,’ try stressing the studying and tackling and giving the sex crimes a miss altogether…

Trent Mays and Ma’lik Richardson are not the “stars” of the Steubenville rape trial. They aren’t the only characters in a drama playing out in eastern Ohio. And yet a CNN viewer learning about the Steubenville rape verdict is presented with dynamic, sympathetic, complicated male figures, and a nonentity of an anonymous victim, the ‘lasting effects’ of whose graphic, public sexual assault are ignored. Small wonder, then, that anyone would find themselves on the side of these men—these poor young men, who were very good at taking tests and playing sports when they were not raping their classmates.” —

Mallory Ortberg of Gawker, critiquing CNN’s disgusting response to the Stuebenville rape trial verdicts.

Her commentary is spot on.

Random Thoughts and Musings: Holocaust even worse than imagined → blondmisanthrope.tumblr.com

blondmisanthrope:

Source: NY Times:

THIRTEEN years ago, researchers at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum began the grim task of documenting all the ghettos, slave labor sites, concentration camps and killing factories that the Nazis set up throughout Europe.

What they have found so far has shocked…

Spotter?

Holy Cheeze Whiz, Batman, Hooked on Phonics let me down. Have you ever tried to spell bureaucracy unassisted? Well I did, and it weren’t pretty. Autocorrect was running around like Charlie Chaplin with a butterfly net trying to catch an elephant:

Burp racy
Bear crack
Bento crazy
Fuck, get a dictionary, lady
