I bet he couldn’t properly load a dishwasher to save his life.

He can’t function without an opponent. He does not possess the character or constitution to work on behalf of anyone—only against things for his personal gain. That’s why he’s so adrift, and why he’s inventing enemies even when doing so only hurts him.

Or he’s fixated because......sometimes people with dementia get fixated on some point in time in the past because they still think they are there or something.

Farage fought for it over time, as the most prominent leader UKIP had. He desperately wants you to believe he is therefore the architect of Brexit, and a man of power. Don’t fall for it.

Having spent 7 years working in a steakhouse, I can attest that there are exactly two kinds of adults who eat steak like this:

OMG the “list like Arya Stark” bit is INCREDIBLE. Incredible. high five!

Herr Trump just makes it easier for them, what with the proposed Muslim ban and all.

“Please extend this to february 2020.”

honestly? because it’s a country that treats immigrants terribly. ISIS depends on western nations treating Muslims bad, because that’s how they recruit. Most Muslims would never, but after 10+ years of being spat upon, suddenly ISIS begins to look good. So ISIS preys on nations that treat Muslims bad, in order to spur…

This is the result of decades (and most likely centuries and millienia) of lack of accountability and bad financial management and it’s hard to find the words to describe how angry and sad it makes me, after 6 years of crippling austerity in the UK, where people are dying to catastrophic cuts to welfare, local…

Jeeeeesus Ballet-Dancing Christ! It is NOT cultural appropriation, and to call it such, just like when people call The Big Bang Theory “nerd minstrel” and carp about how that’s not what nerds/geeks are actually like (despite there being a broad and not entirely definable spectrum), is an insult to actual cultural…

I’m posting this again but I enjoy watching it:

I’m sorry for your loss. Yes, it was a very very undignified end. His wife and I are both glad he died in a beautiful place, with a laugh on his lips.

Honestly, after Brexit it’s just nice to spend some time yelling at a different country’s politicians.

These artifacts are on public display in their own room in the institution where I work, and I like to go and sing to them most days. I am not from the culture that created them but I think singing to them keeps them warm and is a gesture of humility and respect to the ancestors.

Update: I’ve been staring at that old newspaper photo on and off ever since that day last week - trying to will it into making some kind of sense. After posting this story, I felt like I had to look at it one more time. I just realized - that doll the little girl is holding? Is my doll, the one my aunt gave me.…

This isn’t exactly scary, as it is pretty weird and a little sad and paranormal. It’s also kinda long, but it really happened to me this year.

A story of what happens when you co-habit with “ghosts” and my experience of the “shadow people” phenomena.

This happened several years ago, when I first moved to L.A. and rented a place in a charmingly old/frustratingly old building. I almost took the efficiency next door, but splurged and went for the studio. I’m glad I did, and not just for the stove and the small amount of extra space.
