oh hey, i know that guitar player.
And it is terrible which is why I am so glad Shannon has read and recapped it so I don’t need to.
I know, nobody cares about Sweet Valley except me. Too bad >:(
I care! I was just at Barnes and Noble an hour ago and immediately texted stealstheashes to inform her of this book’s existence. It didn’t come home with me only because I only saw it in hardcover and it was $21. I love you, Jessica and Elizabeth, but I can’t justify that shit.
thank god for groupon, right?
and i thought my $20 groupon to barnes and noble for $10 was a good deal.
rosey cheeks are a good look on Ryan Ross. he looks like a woodland elf or something.
it’s true. he looks like a mannequin come to life in that whole photoshoot.
I HATE ALL OF HUMANITY AND I AM GOING TO BURN THE UNIVERSE DOWN
What. The. Fuck.
WELL GOD FORBID WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR NEIGHBOR OR ANYTHING. FUCK WHAT.
“Meanwhile, the school is standing by its decision to make accommodations for the student.”
At least there’s that. But damn, what kind of crazy parents do you have to be to claim that WASHING YOUR HANDS is taking away from your child’s learning? Also, though the comments are surprisingly lower in stupid than I’m used to, the ones claiming that kids with animal fur allergies aren’t given special treatment have definitely never seen a kid with a severe peanut allergy. Do you think bees should be released at every lunch period? Because that’s a closer allergic reaction.
Up to episode 3 of Party Down, crush on Adam Scott completely cemented.
it’s crazy how quick it happens, isn’t it?
It’s actually been a total slow build for me. I watched him in Tell Me You Love Me, where he did nothing for me, but that show was also completely boring. Then Parks & Rec where the inklings of crushdom happened because I’m not made of stone, and now Party Down and I’m totally on board.

The first is that true gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.
And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.” My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality - my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part.
Fanfic Symposium: When Worlds Collide (via thefuror)
It’s horrifying to me how many women will attack you for not taking your husband’s name. They say you should feel honored about changing your name and I’m like, actually I feel like it represented the transfer of property from one man to another. So, there’s that. Anyway, it’s not like anyone can’t be in favor of it, but don’t call me ungrateful or not ready for commitment because I’m not.
(via funkination)
I’ve mostly gotten just support for keeping my name, which is really nice, but I was surprised by how many people were surprised when I said I was doing it. I mean, I got married in 2009 – you’d think everyone would be used to that by now. The one funny thing I noticed is people will ask us if we’re hyphenating the baby’s last name (we’re not), and the word hyphenation always kind of gets the airquotes of sarcasm, like it’s such an odd idea that parents would want their kid to have both of their last names.
Anyway, I really like the original quote. Reminds me of how some people perceive a bias toward women in American college enrollments now that the enrollments accurately reflect the percentage of women in the US.

My ask box is: open, but nearly always empty. that’s so sad! of course, i forget i have one most of the time and never mention it, so the emptiness isn’t really anyone’s fault.
and that concludes our extensive three week course.
I call the big one Bitey.
It’s really important to me that April loves camping, so I went ahead and set up the ultimate campsite love nest, complete with beautiful starlight, We got champagne! also rose petals, as you can see they smell terrific.
I love how the one rose petal falls into his mouth when he throws them in the air. :D
