I reaaaally want to bake something.
kinsey-x-queer:
But I already have enough sweets to last me at least a month, and probably more.
I have two cakes, because I got to take the leftover cake from Alex’s birthday party home, and then my mom bought me another cake (I’m freezing the one my mom bought me). I have a whole bunch of chocolate chip and oatmeal cookies from my aunt Judy, who keeps insisting on sending ALL the leftover...

Thank you for saying this. You haven’t contacted me personally about this, so I’m guessing I’m not among those who have been saying such things. But if I ever do in the future, please feel free to tell me. I always want to know when I have been insensitive so I can make amends and endeavor not to make the same mistake again.

I suppose prisoners are not considered persons in New York City. This is horrific and inhumane.
Definitely not what should be happening here. Evacuating the prisoners/detainees wouldn’t be some special kindness, it would be the decent thing to do.
^ This.
After what happened in New Orleans after Katrina, wtf is Bloomberg thinking?!??

Stop the Hate! I'm Talking to EVERYONE Here! →
I know this is long, but I think it’s worth the time to read it. All of us in the gender and sexual minorities community, we all ought to be allies and support one another. That means being patient, asking questions, and really listening to the answers before jumping to conclusions.

aj-rromale:
25/08/2011 – As the representatives of the European Romani Union (ERU) we are writing this letter of support to our brothers who are strugling nowdays for their basic rights to choose the living place for themselves and their children.
Given that the inhabitants of Dale Farm are legal owners of land where they settled their camp and that the environment in which they reside has been...

outlawroad:
I was just wanting to briefly reflect on one of my personal relationships, in light of all this fuckery going on about the word “queerplatonic” and the subject of creating new language for alternative relationships in general. It’s been making me think of my own relationships, past and future,…
Speaking from years of knowing people and observing their relationship behavior, I...

UK Researchers Develop Permanent Five-Dimensional... →
Researchers from the University of Southampton, England, have successfully recorded, read, and erased data from a piece of nano-structured glass. This technique could revolutionize microscopy in general, and medical imaging in specific — and, perhaps more importantly for computing, it could also be used to store binary data, like an optical disc.
The writing/recording process is called...

Especially if said opinion is bigoted. You should, by all means, respect everyone’s right to an opinion, but opinions themselves are not always worthy of respect.

Czech Republic: Romani police assistants...
aj-rromale:
The controversy over two Romani police assistants in the Czech town of Litvínov has come to an unequivocal end: Neither of the men has done anything illegal. At the start of the controversy, Mayor Daniel Volák (Civic Democrats - ODS) and Vice-Mayor Martin Klika (Czech Social Democrats - ČSSD) did their best to convince the public otherwise.
Miroslav Kováč, the only police...

– Van Jones (via azspot)
^^^This. Obviously this. The idea that higher taxes will discourage people from making work-free money is ridiculous. You think that hedge fund managers, capital investors and stock traders would rather lay bricks or answer phones all day for less money than be tax 2-10% more...

Free online documentary about Vlad the Impaler. Don’t be easily impressed by modern-day killers. If you’re interested in gore and murderous stories, go for the historical figures. They were exponentially more fascinating and did so much more damage.
Vlad is especially interesting to me, I’ve been reading every article I could find on the man for a few years now. I have fond memories...

*hugs* I’m glad your second session, as you put it, wasn’t a total fail. :) I wouldn’t want to collect diagnoses unless they’re really there: Did she consider maybe you don’t have Social Anxiety so much as other stuff that sometimes looks like it?
thanks. the diagnoses collection thing is kind...

I just don't understand e-reader hate.

thekyonkichi:
I prefer books myself, but the person is reading. Isn’t that enough?
What makes excellent stories excellent are the words, not because they’re on paper.
Really.
People shouldn’t need to say things like this; it should be obvious.
And like
It appears there are two common definitions of books -
The actual, physical product, including whatever has been...

Every year at the Campshore Campground, wild-caught snapping turtles endure terrible violence at the hands of participants.
