I'm terrified of asking people on the NYC subway if I can sit or have a little more space. Mainly because a lot of us New Yorkers are grumpy as fuck, and I'm non-confrontational to the max.

Oh for the love of God.

One of my oldest friends is someone I met on a music message board when were tweens (I think 11 or 12?). We've drifted in adulthood—we came from very different backgrounds so our paths diverged—but this kid and I got each through some shit when we were younger.

I wanted to be INSIDE Aaron. Or, vice versa (on the Aaron thing)

I feel like I've been waiting for this post my whole life.

Oh my god, Precious Moments. It's the height of tacky but somehow still pulls at my heartstrings.

"Overreacting?" What entitled little snots. I could unleash an ostrich into this house and it would inflict less damage.

I KNOW, RIGHT? I bought a couple of these a week or two before they announced the recall, but before I had a chance to eat 'em, the containers had puffed up and were on the verge of explosion.

I need all of this. In my closet. Now. Immediately.

Jesus, I look forward to the day where we, as a collective society, decide to do away with the notion that "any publicity is good publicity."

I really, really need to know the origin of this gif.

I know, right?

I feel like as an essential part of the coming-of-age process, white Americans, upon turning age 13, should be handed an educational pamphlet entitled, "Reverse Racism Is Not a Thing."

It strikes me that the way we define "trafficking" in the legal sense isn't really adequate, particularly in circumstances like this.

Apparently it's not technically trafficking either, as money doesn't necessarily change hands.

Thanks for the more accurate info :) It's been a good many years since I last stepped foot in a microbiology classroom.

My understanding is that when they "kill" a virus (viruses aren't alive anyway), they're essentially deactivating the DNA (RNA? biologists, help me out here) that they use to replicate, and all that is really left of the virus are its markers, which are what trigger the immune response.

I'm starting to feel like an old. Is the Abercrombie aesthetic still hot with the youths these days? Because I'm pretty sure the only people I still see wearing it are the folks my age who pretty much never knew another world of fashion existed.

I feel like this week is a great time for parents to punt the kids to Grandma and Grandpa. "HEY, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT A WEEK AT GRANNY'S?!"
