Taco Bell sends kids to college
Who would’ve known?  I think I’m one of 3 people on Tumblr who is watching the NBA All-Star Game festivities. I just saw the Skills challenge and each player was seated next to a young kid who looked like they were in high school. The whole time, I’m thinking they’re trying to do the “include the children” thing that soccer does but then Tony Parker wins the...

[And no, I am not going to rob a hospital or pharmacy] I’ve suffered from migraines for about 10 years and for about 8 of those years, I’ve had some sort of insurance. This is a year that I don’t and I almost fell out of my chair when I found out the price for a medication my doctor just prescribed.  Now, I went to the doctor in part because The Good Shit that I take for...

Jeremy Lin = #Linning →
Great article by Les Carpenter. Lots of things that make this a unique story that is going to have everyone’s eyes glued to the TV.  They sent him to the D-League. When the Knicks put him on a plane to Erie in late January, Lin was terrified that last year was happening again, that his NBA dream was gone, that he was destined to be an interesting footnote in a long list of international...

M.I.A. @ the Super Bowl
Wow, you’d think this was the first time anyone watching football field has seen someone use the middle finger. Acceptable? No. News-worthy? Shouldn’t be.

What a disaster. The damage done is pretty significant, but I want to tell her “It’s not too late! You can still try and salvage the wreckage. Learn from the Netflix debacle and the President of the Worst CEO 2011 winner Reed Hastings. People will forgive you even after you screw up once, twice, or even three times so long as you try and make things right.”

Walking Dead Season 2 - The Good, The Bad, and The...
Oh boy. Just finished watching The Walking Dead season 2.  The Good:  -LOST style storytelling. Flashbacks, film-like cinematography all work really well.  -Glenn and Maggie storyline. An Asian male and a White woman in a romantic relationship? Is it the year 2190? -Build up. Lots of great tension and anxiety causing build up.   -They didn’t intend for this to serve as a metaphor, but...

We need to treat teen bullying like we treat...
I wish we would treat teen bullying like we do terrorism at airports.  Can you imagine a school where someone just hints at wanting to bully a kid or starts to bully someone just a bit and they are swarmed by teachers, administrators, parents, law enforcement?  Can you imagine if when we heard some kid harassing another kid, everyone jumped in to stop what was going on? If only for the reason of...

bohemianarthouse: klondikebar123: caffeinatedfeminist: Of course I love holding a book in my hands and turning the pages and all that deliciously nerdy stuff. But e-books are cheaper and more eco-friendly which is really great. JUST FUCKING READ, EVERYONE. Doesn’t matter how you do it. How I feel exactly. I don’t care if my book is a paperback, a hardback, an e-book, written on TP, or...

feministhistorian: White folks shut the fuck up and listen. We don’t have a white history month because our history is fucking glorified in society. Flip open a US history text books and you will find a white person to glorify. There is a really good fucking chance that white person will also be a white man. Which…

It's pronounced Tara, not Tara
I love NPR and I love Michele Norris, but for the love of God, could Michele Norris just pronounce her name “Michelle”? Or, if you’re going to say it’s MEE-Shell Norris, spell that shit differently.

feminismisprettycool: Earlier today I mentioned an idea for a cupcake. You know how everyone has those fantasies, where someone says, “if you weren’t doing ____ what would you be doing?” Well, at least in grad school that seems to be a trend. Also, when you hate everything that you’re reading/writing/not reading/not… Excellent.
