"We're not perfect. We laugh too hard. We're way too loud and we make complete fools of ourselves. We're much too comfortable with each other, and a little too close for comfort. Our smiles are genuine, & we make our drinks too strong, but somehow we know that being together is what's going to make us last forever. It's the days we sit around and do nothing. It's the moments we laugh so hard we cry. It's the way we look at each other and know what's going through our heads. It's the stupid pictures and inside jokes. They're the reason we're inseparable."
Hateograms by Mr. Bingo
It can be a smidge depressing to traipse on down to the mailbox and find nothing but bills for porn and direct-mail flyers featuring deals on giant riding mowers. Well News to the Flash, kids, you’re doing it all sorts of wrong: for just a small fee, you can have illustrator Mr. Bingo send you a personalized kick-in-the-sack via postcard, guaranteeing more entertaining reasons for you to feel shitty about yourself. You can purchase a book with all his collected hateograms over at the amazon.

“
This is an apology letter to the both of us
for how long it took me to let things go.
It was not my intention to make such a
production of the emptiness between us
playing tuba on the tombstone of a soprano
to try and keep some dead singer’s perspective alive.
It’s just that I coulda swore you had sung me a love song back there
and that you meant it
but I guess sometimes people just chew with their mouth open
so I ate ear plugs alive with my throat
hoping they’d get lodged deep enough inside the empty spots
that I wouldn’t have to hear you leaving
so I wouldn’t have to listen to my heart keep saying
all my eggs were in a basket of red flags
all my eyes to a bucket of blindfolds

“Life is intrinsically, well, boring and dangerous at the same time. At any given moment the floor may open up. Of course, it almost never does; that’s what makes it so boring.” -Edward Gorey, chicago native. Happy Birthday!
New goal

“ True gender equality is actually perceived as inequality. A group that is made up of 50% women is perceived as being mostly women. A situation that is perfectly equal between men and women is perceived as being biased in favor of women.
And if you don’t believe me, you’ve never been a married woman who kept her family name. I have had students hold that up as proof of my “sexism.”
My own brother told me that he could never marry a woman who kept her name because “everyone would know who ruled that relationship.” Perfect equality – my husband keeps his name and I keep mine – is held as a statement of superiority on my part.

Also the study where they had women and men talking in a discussion and when women spoke around 30% of the time, men perceived them as dominating the discussion. They didn’t consider it “equal” until something like 5-10% of women talking. (via dumbthingswhitepplsay)
Voila. A beautiful example of why fighting for equality becomes a gross exaggeration in the eyes of the oppressors. (via curiouslycool)
