my sister played Frenchy in her middle school production of Grease last night and she KILLED IT

this is a pic of me after i “caught up” with 8th grade math teacher who, upon hearing that i’m into writing and comedy etc, said “wow  that’s awesome. i’m envious… because you’re not doing real work.”

i replied, “hah yeah… i used to read The Princess Diaries under my desk instead of paying attention in your class.”

but what i should have said is “you are exactly as short as i remember you”

Now that the numbers are in on same-sex marriage, many Republicans are falling like dominos all over themselves to express their support for something that only a few months ago they steadfastly claimed to stand against. They’ll probably soon claim that this is how they felt all along, and they were simply too hamstrung by politics to be able to say what they really meant. Well, okay. In the spirit of openheartedness and what life is really all about, I’ll go so far as to say that the fear of others may mask some deep-seated desire to understand, and maybe even to love. Because really, what is there to be afraid of?

"For the last three decades many Americans have puzzled over a system that gives an R to a movie in which a women is carved up by a chainsaw and an NC-17 to one that shows a woman sexually pleasured. From such ratings one might conclude that sexual violence against women is OK for American teenagers to see, but that they must be 18 to see consensual sex. What message does this send to the kids the MPAA presumably means to protect?"

“You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario which is both complicit and complex. It’s misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman’s sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film.”

is it possible to abuse your gchat privileges?

today i wanted to steal all the dogs in the world and keep them for my own.

i decided that if i ever have a dog i will name it Charlie Booger because that is the best name you can give a dog.

it’s funny because his last name is Booger and he has no idea.

… maybe it’s not funny? well it’s funny when it’s cinco de mayo and when you had too many margaritas outside and when you petted every single dog you saw on the walk back to the apartment and when you called every single one of those dogs Charlie Booger and every single one of the owners thought you were a crazy drunk dog lady

No female reporter before her had ever seemed quite so audacious, so willing to risk personal safety in pursuit of a story. 

How to pack like Nellie Bly, pioneering Victorian journalist who raced around the world in 80 days.

“I think a lot about what makes a strong female character. You know, movies and TV shows, these things have influence, my own website. So I think the question of “What makes a strong female character?”, often goes misinterpreted. And instead we get these two-dimensional superwomen, who maybe have one quality that’s played up a lot. Like, you know, a Catwoman type, or she plays her sexuality up a lot and it’s seen as power. But they’re not strong characters who happen to be female, they’re completely flat and they’re basically cardboard characters.
The problem with this is that then people expect women to be that easy to understand, and women are mad at themselves for not being that simple. When in actuality, women are complicated. Women are multifaceted. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy. And women happen to be people!”

Nacho Ormaechea is the creator of these incredible digital collages where he replaces human forms with contrasting visual elements. While definitely reminiscent of double exposures, these images are defined by the portrait’s clean-cut lines that open portals into distant scenes.
