Oh god
the unbelievably awkward guy I went on a date with a little while ago is at this bus stop
with what must be his LIFE PARTNER / BOSOM COMPANION / KINDRED SPIRIT
and they are struggling to out-nerd each other
in their nasal nerd-voices

thefootlightclub: I want to see what [the guy I have a sad crush on] looks like!
me: No way. I showed L his Facebook and it was really creepy and weird and embarrassing.
thefootlightclub: [in a "mom talking her daughter through her first period" voice] Well Lindsay, it's the first time you've had a crush on a boy, and it's bound to bring up all kinds of feelings, and there's nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about, it's perfectly natural!
me: Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Anime and the Social Construction of Race
laughingfish:
jiggit:
zeezeescorner:
A common misconception about anime cartoons amongst uninitiated audiences in majority-English-speaking countries is that anime characters are drawn to look ‘White’ rather than ‘Asian’. First of all, neither of terms are factual fixed categories - they are social constructions. That is, the meaning attached to race, whether ‘White’, ‘Black’, ‘Asian’...

why not cry AND touch yourself? that can be really satisfying
That’s what I thought, too, but I’m crying and touching myself right now and my coworkers don’t seem satisfied at all. They’re hard to please, I guess?

I'm picky about name pronunciation.
librariesandlemonade:
While I’m not going to be able to get everything exactly right—some languages contain sounds other languages don’t, and I’m just not able to make those sounds—it’s important to me that when I say someone’s name, I’m saying it correctly. It’s their identity; there’s no excuse for my not trying, or deliberately changing it to something that’s easier for me to pronounce.

galesofnovember:
So, as many you may have figured out already, many of extended family are members of an elite secret society, whose other members include such notables as George W. Bush, Tom Hardy, and Rober Downey Jr. Like the Shriners and Waterbuffalo (I guess, I’ve never known any) they spend most of their free time at their secret society meetings.
My grandmother was (and is) a sweet,...

UM OKAY COMPUTER

heatburg replied to your post: Trying to talk myself out of spending my tax refund on an iPad instead of using to pay down my credit cards.
I have free reign over my library’s iPad, but I never use it because it’s a pain in the ass. They’re overpriced and useless. Don’t do it!
See, but unlike you, I love iPads and can’t get enough of them. Basically I want it to take the place of my iPhone...
