If you’re in the U.S. (and I assume most places have similar things, but I’m not sure), anyone without a checking account can walk into a post office and buy a money order for a really small fee, which works just like a check! Also, the Red Cross has text-to-donate abilities; text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to donate $10 to relief efforts, though if someone else is paying your cell bill, which is probably true of most folks without a checking account or credit card, check with them first since that donation will show up on your next mobile bill. Reblogging is pretty much the least effective way to guarantee money is going to your cause of choice – it’s great for getting information out but not actual action.
Listen, on CNN’s site, someone tried promoting their blog in the comments and got shot down by several other people for their stupidity. Don’t you want to be better than the CNN commenters, tumblr? Of course you do.
Conan gets friendly with an audience member’s girlfriend
Am I crazy or is that girl Lexie from America’s Next Top Model?
THAT’S who she is. When I saw this episode, I was convinced that I knew her IRL and it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t place it.
In which Representative Ed Markey (D-MA) is fucking awesome (via):
Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to a bill that overturns the scientific finding that pollution is harming our people and our planet.
However, I won’t physically rise, because I’m worried that Republicans will overturn the law of gravity, sending us floating about the room.
I won’t call for the sunlight of additional hearings, for fear that Republicans might excommunicate the finding that the Earth revolves around the sun.
Instead, I’ll embody Newton’s third law of motion and be an equal and opposing force against this attack on science and on laws that will reduce America’s importation of foreign oil.
This bill will live in the House while simultaneously being dead in the Senate. It will be a legislative Schrodinger’s cat killed by the quantum mechanics of the legislative process!
Arbitrary rejection of scientific fact will not cause us to rise from our seats today. But with this bill, pollution levels will rise. Oil imports will rise. Temperatures will rise.
And with that, I yield back the balance of my time. That is, unless a rejection of Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity is somewhere in the chair’s amendment pile.
BRAVO!!!!!!!! *clapping*
“The bill will be a legislative Schrodinger’s cat, killed by the quantum mechanics of the legislative process.”
That’s the kind of bad-ass speech I plan to give after I’m elected to Congress. Me and this guy are going to start the House Committee on Legitimizing Actual Science and Facts.
This bill will live in the House while simultaneously being dead in the Senate. It will be a legislative Schrodinger’s cat killed by the quantum mechanics of the legislative process!
I’ve seen this quoted all day and it’s not getting any less awesome the more I read it.
This picture makes me want to cry. I love these guys
It took me a minute to realize that they literally mean her shoes. This is brilliant.

Z is so cute. :D
Does anyone else read all the news about this trainwreck? My brother used to do lighting for a bunch of NYC-area theaters so he has some connections that sometimes work this show, and they all laughed when he asked them if it was a good play. I love stage crews.
FAVORITES.
this still makes me laugh, and the resulting fandom reaction made me laugh even more.
