The Media and the Murder of Aiyanna Jones (via azspot) (via brave-slut) (via viviopsis) (via volcanoes)(via satansonatas) This is alarming…people need to read...

This:
stfuconservatives: pleasedontsqueezetheshaman: If we’re going to fight to keep an Islamic mosque and community center from being built near Ground Zero then I think it would only be fair to also protest Catholic churches from being built near schoolyards and Scientology Centers from being built within 100 meters of anyone using formal logic. Spot on.

– J.R.R. Tolkien, “Three Is Company,” The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, 1954 (via leastlikelyto) (via fuckyeahlordoftherings) I wonder if I can blame my ever-present restless wanderlust on my 15 years of being a Tolkien fan.

Yet Another Reason Why My Roommates are Awesome:
When I got home from work shortly after midnight, the apartment was a disaster area and there was this adorable Post-It on my bedroom door: “Hey Brittany, sorry we can’t watch The Graduate tonight.  We spent five hours installing the air conditioner, and then we baked you a cake!  It’s in the kitchen—enjoy!! We are in our beds asleep.  Love, the Super Duper Handy...

american-apologies: From CNN: “The new law forbids elementary or secondary schools to teach classes that are ‘designed primarily for pupils of a particular ethnic group’ and advocate ‘the overthrow of the United States government’ or ‘resentment toward a race or class of people.’” Hmm, it makes you wonder, why would anyone have any resentment towards privileged whites who have historically...

you know what's less fun than 8 hours of data...
8 hours of data entry with FOX TALK RADIO on during all 8 of those hours.  Nothing like inescapable quality time with Sean Hannity and Michael Savage. If this becomes a daily thing I just don’t know what the fuck I will do.
