If you’re gonna go to all the trouble to travel back in time because you want to kill a military leader, then why are you gonna go back to the point where he already has influence & is probably wise to the idea that people wanna off him? Why not even wait til he’s sleeping or some shit?
This is one of my pet peeves with the Kill Hitler trope & how it plays...

They tell me the book says the snake told me “surely you won’t perish”, but if he did I didn’t even hear it.
I wasn’t listening to the snake. I was listening to the tree.
The fruit called to me… it sang to me. God made man from dust and breath, but He didn’t put any music in us. He didn’t think to. When He put the tree in the garden, He didn’t realize how it would sing. God...
(I work at a movie rental store. Sometimes we have deaf customers. I know some conversational ASL and can usually communicate with the deaf community just fine. A woman and her daughter walk up with a note and place it on the counter and point to it repeatedly.)
Note: “We’re looking for two movies that came out last Tuesday.”
Me: *in ASL* “Hello, yes, what movies?”
Customer, to daughter: “Why does he think I’m deaf?”
Me: “Oh, I’m sorry! Usually our deaf customers write notes to us.”
Customer: “That’s ridiculous! How dare you just assume I’m disabled! It’s ridiculous!”
Me: “I’m terribly sorry. May I ask why you gave me a note instead of asking me verbally?”
Customer: “You’re Asian! How was I supposed to know you knew my language?!”

Friday Is Update Your Parents’ Browser Day →
‘Tis the season to go visiting family you may not get to see all of the time, so what better opportunity to make the cyberworld a better place?
End the tyranny of Internet Explorer 6 and all other less-secure versions of modern browsers where they’re most likely to hide: in the unsuspecting computers of the less-savvy.

If it’s used on you, use it on them.
considering how the police have treated people who were otherwise acting peacefully & unarmed, this is unequivocally the worst advice possible.
Let us be clear, anyone who does this runs the risk of dying. Because pepper spray is technically a chemical weapon & some cop will use that as an excuse to...

no actually why don’t we just talk about his FACE
ESPECIALLY AS STEVE?
i demand you to look at his face
I always worry about the color of his lips.
you worry about what??
About Black Friday.
nudiemuse:
That’s great and all but you know some of us use Black Friday and save for it in order to get the things we need for the rest of the year.
Do you honestly think a lot of us poor folks who might want something fancy like a tablet or a winter coat don’t understand how to watch prices?
I don’t know if it was intentional but the advice to research prices when people give it to me always...
Black Friday is important for Poor People
nanner:
Because life sucks when you’re a poor kid. And your parents can take you to Disney World or buy Nikes when you go back to school shopping and you probably don’t have cable.
So they save up their money, the get up at some horrid hour of the morning, brave crazy fuckers to get you a really nice present so you don’t feel like shit on Christmas morning.

“Uppity.” We all know that “uppity” is a Republican codeword for another term, don’t we?
Utter disrespect. Plain and simple. Black man with intelligence/ Black woman with intelligence always degraded as “uppity”. Grrr!
Uppity, for those who really don’t know?
Is a code word used by angry white men. Why are they angry? They are angry that...

Sooj is bright, shiny, musical love.
Her Music and Magic workshop at FoS this year was an experience I’ll never forget. Her entire discography is so perfect, and has had such a beautiful impact on me. I’m counting down the days ‘til next...
