Does the guy just spend his flight time doodling on his arms? Lots of writing implements; nothing on which to write.

I humbly direct you to the Freddie Mercury gif IronFront posted.

Well, sure, but, a good title is a good title.

Hey, buddy. You’ve been bestowed the title of “Grammar Queen.” It sounds posh, yet vaguely kinky. Can I get in on that, too, please? (“Social Justice Copy Editrix” just doesn’t have the same snap to it.)

In the spirit of helping your startup business, gentle internet stranger: I just finished reading The Elements of Eloquence. It’s an amusing (if you’re an English nerd) and informative overview of the techniques of rhetoric. I would recommend it as an excellent resource for linguistic techniques that lead to more…

Saying that we have to be polite about not saying, “Hey, look, it’s a f*king Nazi,” when we spot an actual Nazi* should not be the social contract we make to keep idiots from falling into hyperbole whenever they can’t summon enough brain power to field a cogent argument against scary things like charitable donations…

Most assuredly I am, and I’ve paid the price on this piece. I posited in my Ravelry project notes that while Holly Golightly may have scrambled her knitting pattern with the plans for a ranch house, my chart has mixed with the circuitry layout at CERN. But, hey, we might need to accelerate particles when the…

I think you just inspired what I’ll be doing tomorrow during the “Women’s Strike” — I started a new job late last week, so I can’t take the day off, but I can look murderous while knitting some hella complicated lace* in red yarn during my lunch break. I’ll think of it as practice for later.

Huh. “Narcissist” isn’t matching up, but there’s a lot of (surprising to me) matches in this list as far as actions. So, some other underlying pathology with a Venn diagram of traits of emotional abuse. Interesting. This could be the world’s saddest drinking game. Except I don’t drink; there’s a strong history of…

Maybe the snark is ‘cause he lucky Golden Ticket winners seemed unlikely to make it all the way through the night? Y’know. Bloom never gets any good roles after they have to get him back to regular size in the taffy-puller. RDJ’s prospects plummet because there is no pancake makeup hefty enough to cover up how he’s…

Monkat looks at Harpy’s Child, and then manages a passable impression of vintage Bill-and-Ted Keanu saying, “Whoa,” with great emotion.

(1) That Reddit thread is chilling.

Selfishly off-topic for a brief moment. What sort of support is out there for an adult who grew up in an emotionally abusive household? Figuring this sh*t out for myself is exhausting and frequently leaves me feeling like a moron for having not realized how far from “normal” or healthy things were. On the other hand,…

Silly rabbit, Pro Life proponents no interest in supporting any child. 

Allow me to streamline your morning. Ta dah.

While your logical approach that “inequality is bad for business” is true, it’s charmingly naive. Our society is rife with inequality. Why would one profession be magically immune?

Hey, I wanna play spot-the-Russian troll, too!

Yeah. Boo, and shame on the media for playing tape of the man you voted for, without prompting, saying racist, bigoted, sexist, hate-filled, xenophobic things. Totally the media’s fault.

Being of the nerdish persuasion, I’ve always thought of myself as a “Social Justice Research Librarian,” or some such, but, with all these Nazis running about, looks like we’re all getting field promotions. (Do these steel-toed boots go with my sweater set or what?)

I would add: be kind. To everyone*, no matter where they’re from or what they believe, no matter if they look like you or not. Especially if you see someone who needs help. Step in. Step up. In whatever small ways you can.
