A glorious and rarefied feeling

Wed, 23 Jan 2013 01:52:23 -0700

Every so often on the Internet, I get to be right about something. What a lovely feeling that is. Kind of like the rat pellets that come out of the dispenser – just never know when. Keep pushing the button.

p.s. I wasn’t arguing in the comments on…

For the dreamers

Thu, 17 Jan 2013 08:48:02 -0700

I’ve watched the documentary First Position two times, now. It’s about aspiring young dancers as they prepare for and compete in a huge, life-changing competition where scholarships are awarded and job contracts are given to the most talented dancers.…

A funny thing happened on the way to the scanner

Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:07:02 -0700

The colors in my paintings often come out unsaturated when I scan them, so I have to adjust in Gimp. I’ve noticed it depends on the external lighting in the room how much I adjust or over-adjust. Usually over-adjust, then notice later on a different…

Anxious author eats anchovies and aggravates her a-ulcers.

I experience a rise in panic/anxiety when I’m trying to get through a big project. The feeling is inexplicable, and not tied to any conscious thought I was having – just ploop! Fluttering chest feeling, tingy arms. Maybe the anxiety comes so I don’t have…

Get Involved: LET THEM PLAY: SAUDI WOMEN AND SPORTS

““No, [I’ m not gay]. I can quite happily say someone is handsome, good-looking, and I can see why someone would want to f*ck them, but I’ve never felt that way about a man myself. There is that moment in your late teens when you ask yourself the question, ‘Am I?’ but I wasn’t… Well, this year I have a talent crush on Ryan Gosling. I think he’s fantastic and, ahem, you know he’d be nice afterwards. He seems smart. If I was gay, I would go for a smart man.””

- Daniel Radcliffe (via cruciatused)

I just really <3 Daniel Radcliffe. Honesty, bitches.

So the whole reason we need more prisons built is to house non-violent drug offenders?

LTMC: And 80-90% of those so-called drug offenders are Black, despite the fact that all racial groups commit crime at remarkably similar rates, and some studies suggest that Blacks actually use drugs less frequently than whites.

Totally not a (racist) police state.

Ideas for Black Friday

Wed, 16 Nov 2011 22:15:05 -0700

This ‘Black Friday,’ consider doing one of the following:

1. Buy nothing.
2. Buy from local, independently-owned shops. The people running these small businesses could really use your support, whereas big box stores are corporate entities without any concern for you, your welfare, and in many cases, the welfare of the planet or their own workers - they don’t need your money.
3. Buy from independent online vendors. Check to see if an independent bookstore in your area has an online shop, such as Ken Sanders Rare Book http://www.kensandersbooks.com/shop/rarebooks/index.html and The King’s English http://www.kingsenglish.com/ in Utah. Sites like Etsy are teeming with independent sellers waiting to sell their quality hand-made goods to you. Here is a partial list of what’s available through Etsy sellers:

Accessories
Art
Bags and Purses
Bath and Beauty
Books and Zines
Candles
Ceramics and Pottery
Children
Clothing
Crochet
Dolls and Miniatures
Everything Else
Furniture
Geekery
Glass
Holidays
Housewares
Jewelry
Knitting
Music
Needlecraft
Paper Goods
Patterns
Pets
Plants and Edibles
Quilts
Supplies
Toys
Vintage
Weddings
Woodworking

4. Buy nothing. You can always opt out of the system.

Happy holidays, all.
