Which is a good intention. But since the vast majority of books you will be "naturally"exposed to through reviews, bestsellers lists, etc are written by white men, you're accidentally limiting your reading to the perspective of this tiny fraction of the world's amazing and diverse authorship. It's not that your a bad

Something like 3% of books on the top 10 spots of the NYT best seller lists were by African Americans. And 90% of books reviewed by NYT were authored white people. The deck is stacked against non-white, non-male authors and it ain't just because of writing ability.

Most of the time, I do not even know it, and quite frankly, I don't care.

"You can't throw the baby out with the bathwater." I don't see the value of "the baby" here (i.e. the Greek system). What is worth saving? The tradition? Nah. Philanthropy? You don't need to be Greek to be charitable/volunteer. The social aspect? Save some money and make friends the regular way.

So basically they're more worried about how their country looks as opposed to how their country treats women. KAY. Sorry probably-dudes, but racist shitstains would have found a reason to hate you anyway. And women already know men can be just as dangerous in India or America. Misogyny is a global problem.

Aw yay for dumb stamps! I had Harry Potter stamps and was careful not to mail any with Lord Voldemort on them to the olds I was inviting.

Maybe you could have a similar to Behind Closed Ovens over at Kitchenette, and post several stories belonging to a same subject weekly, then go back to this theme with more stories later on. I bet there are stories that are too good to go to waste.

She has a future in this, I feel like she needs a variety show, stat!

omg im sorry but i am laughing so hard rn

Didn't use the wikis :(

I have a theory about people who become wildly successful/famous on the level that Steve has achieved: their relationship with their past, pre-fame and success, is an either or proposition. Either they embrace it. Or they shed it like a snake sheds its skin, leaving it in the middle of the road, to dry up and blow

Cool, committed bagged-milk drinkers like my family, buy milk bag holders made from stainless steel or ceramic. The milk gets colder and stays colder longer outside the fridge.

This is just the tip of her wonderfulness iceberg :)

When my wife has had enough, she walks around the house singing "Fuck it all, fuck it alllll!" to the tune of Let it Go :)

I came back from the doctor and said I probably couldn't get pregnant without a lot of help - help I've decided I didn't want. He hugged me, said it was OK, and asked me to marry him. Right there, in the hallway, with a litter box not 2 feet away. I said no.

Would.

I love milk. I've never had cramps, bloating or the shits from it. Have drunk skim or one percent from childhood. And I don't drink coffee, tea or alcohol so FUCK THE HATERS.

No other species has fully-formed sentience, either, which isn't a terribly good excuse to stop using our brains to get on their level. I fart on this article.

Oh I keep this in the pictures on my phone so when people go, "oh that name is so ghetto." The look on their faces is golden.

I prefer to live with myself. I don't need a piece of paper to define my relationship.
