1. You won’t allow me to go to school.
    I won’t become a doctor.
    Remember this:
    One day you will be sick.

    Poem written by an 11 year old Afghan girl 

    This poem was recorded in a NYT magazine article about female underground poetry groups in Afghanistan. An amazing article about the ways in which women are using a traditional two line poetry form to express their resistance to male oppression, their feelings about love (considered blasphemous), and their doubts about religion. 

    One of the best articles I’ve read all year. Here’s the link

    All these colors were achieved with red, yellow, blue, and green food coloring mixed into white frosting. The amount of drops needed for the color you want is underneath the icing color. So convenient. :)

  5. Physics says: go to sleep. Of course
    you’re tired. Every atom in you
    has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes
    nonstop from mitosis to now.
    Quit tapping your feet. They’ll dance
    inside themselves without you. Go to sleep.

    Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch
    by inch America is giving itself
    to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness
    lap at your sides. Give darkness an inch.
    You aren’t alone. All of the continents used to be
    one body. You aren’t alone. Go to sleep.

    Astronomy says: the sun will rise tomorrow,
    Zoology says: on rainbow-fish and lithe gazelle,
    Psychology says: but first it has to be night, so
    Biology says: the body-clocks are stopped all over town
    and
    History says: here are the blankets, layer on layer, down and down.

    is when I’m going through someone’s tumblr or twitter and they’ve got some sort of rant about how much they hate Chris Brown and how he’s a dirtbag, disgusting human and then ALSO have 900 posts about Michael Fassbender and how hot he is and how much they want to do him.

    Because beating up women…

    Gold. Want a cookie?

    RIGHT-CLICK AND SAVE ALL THE THINGS.

    this…. this is great

    Bless

    Saving all of these for when someone wants a damn cookie for being slightly less of a terrible fucking person than they could be. Oh wait, no, they really aren’t if they’re using someone else’s identity as their shield.

    Saving every single one of these…..

    So THESE are the cookies that all the #NiceGuys want.

    OK. Oh-KAY! 

    lol at this.

    Shoulda started a Fight Club.

    He did, Carole made him stop after he kept coming home with splinters and wheel imprints all over his face. He’s never actually beaten a chair.
