Oh man.
You know what I said earlier about Cody watching out the window for J to get home?
Well, he’s doing it right now. Every time the bus goes by he sits up hopefully, and when J doesn’t appear he lies back down disappointed. Only, today, J is working late! I tried to tell Cody that he…
This is so sad.

For What It's Worth
trishaleighkc:
Tonight, as the world watched, America took a step down a path paved with murder and unyielding ignorance, one devoid of compassion. We can never take that step back. It doesn’t matter that other people or nations walk alongside us. We should be forging ahead, marking a trail full of courage, and justice, and love.

Neil Gaiman: 8 Good Writing Practices →
ilovereadingandwriting:
Write.
Put one word after another. Find the right word, put it down.
Finish what you’re writing. Whatever you have to do to finish it, finish it.
Put it aside. Read it pretending you’ve never read it before. Show it to friends whose opinion you respect and who like the kind of thing that this is.
Remember: when people tell you something’s wrong or doesn’t work for...

I use the words in my books on purpose. You don’t have to like that. But, no, the story wouldn’t have been “just as good” if I had used “down there” instead of pussy. I wrote the story I should have with the words I should have. Other authors and other stories might do otherwise, which is why…
Yes! They are *real* words, whether others like them or not.

bringtheruckuss:
Ideas matter; thoughts have force. This is an obvious truth. It is why pastors preach, why professors profess, and why pundits do whatever they do. Yet whenever ideas do things we do not want them to do, as they did in Oslo, Norway on Friday, we try to pretend that ideas are powerless.
No. Pat Buchanan says it’s easier to blame Muslims.

So, as I mentioned last night, I got an email back from that house with the typical scammer message; I’m working out of state for awhile, rent (already on the low side) includes all utilities (wow!), I just need to check out your rental history, etc. Signed “Bruce Kaplan”
I was pretty sure it…

I still don't "get" Google+
totaldrivel:
Are people posting there IN ADDITION to their facebook/twitter/tumblr accounts? Or are they setting it up so that those things automatically feed to google+? Does anyone feel like there is any advantage, whatsoever, to using it?
I…. don’t get it.
Its very existence makes me feel tired.
Happy Birthday Jessica!

From here:
I chose to remain a domiciled taxpayer for a couple of reasons. The main one was that I wanted my children to grow up where I grew up, to have proper roots in a culture as old and magnificent as Britain’s; to be citizens, with everything that implies, of a real country, not…

The argument seems to go something like this: “He was punished by the NFL and he wasn’t even convicted. He wasn’t even prosecuted. Look at how he’s changed. He feels real bad, and besides, we don’t know for sure what actually happened. But he wasn’t even prosecuted, damn it! Also, I am a Steelers fan and we are in the Super Bowl, so STFU.”

Stop telling me now isn't the right time
When is the right time to hold the spewers of venom and of reprehensible incitement to violence responsible for their behavior?
Oh, right. Never, because it might make someone uncomfortable.
Go ahead, crazy right wing: keep bringing your guns to political events, keep threatening Second Amendment remedies. Worship your guns and feel free to win at the bullet box if you lose at the ballot box....

Bwahaha. Sarah Palin was on our flight from Anchorage to Portland. I thought that was funny. Now, when people ask if I know her (which they do, all the time) I’m going to have to tell them I saw her once, and breathed the same recycled air as her. Ha. …well her’s and the other 150 or so…
