Cat Lady Heads Out

Holy crap this looks so much like Tyler, I have to wonder who’s taking him outside for photo shoots.
Hey friends! I’m giving away this super cute, brand new dress from SheInside!
It’s never been worn and it needs a new home. (Didn’t look good on my figure!) All you gotta do to ~enter to win is visit SheInside and reblog this post (with the caption still attached)! I’ll choose a winner this weekend!
If you’re curious about sizing, fabric content, etc, feel free to peep the details here!
My friend called me a fecal wizard as an insult the other day, but I thought it would be a really fantastic mutant power, and I haven’t been able to shut up about how cool it would be, and now he regrets ever saying the words “fecal wizard”, so I win.
That redacted panel is where you get to use your imagination about what happens. The black box is where all the fanfiction happens. (Oh, god, let there be fanfiction of this.)
glorious
this is amazing
Before I started reading Game of Thrones, I’d heard rumors that George R. R. Martin was ruthless. That as soon as you develop a favorite character, it is guaranteed that they will be the next to die. Surely, I thought, this is an exaggeration. He couldn’t be as bad as that.
OH HOW NAIVE I WAS.
Literally less than a hundred pages in, and my favorite character so far is dead. I feel betrayed. Why, George, why?
Dark Sky Island
The gorgeous Isle of Sark, the smallest self-governing island in Europe, is located in the English channel 130 miles off the southern English coast. In January 2011 it became the world’s first “Dark Sky island” by controlling light pollution. The island’s single electricity source is an oil-fired power station, and there are no cars, streetlights or even paved roads: you can only get around by bike, horse, carriage or tractor-drawn bus. Due to the lack of light pollution, the Milky Way stretches gloriously overhead—from horizon to horizon across the pristine black sky.
I WANT TO GO TO THERE.
My life’s goal is to make sandwiches this tidy. I mean, my god, how do those avocado slices line up so perfectly? Mine always look like the avocado just barfed onto my bread.

How to be an Amazing BabysitterI came across these books myself and remarked on them to Jenn, but didn’t pick them up to open them. Jackie did, and it’s her comments in italics there. These books were published this year by Scholastic. They are not, as you have have guessed by the insane sexism, published in the 1950s. Scholastic: this is not your proudest moment?
Maybe - MAYBE - How To Pick Perfect Sunglasses is actually in the same class as Surviving When Your Parachute Fails. And maybe the authors truly believed this but also truly believed these two identical classes of disasters (for some reason?) needed to be in separate books. If you ever find yourself in this situation, please oh please don’t say “THIS ONE IS FOR BOYS AND THIS IS FOR GIRLS”. Perhaps instead say “THIS ONE HAS A BUNCH OF INTERESTING REAL-LIFE DISASTER SURVIVAL AND THIS ONE HAS A LOT OF PERSONAL HYGIENE AND INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIP STUFF IN IT, ALSO, TIPS ON GETTING YOUR CAT TO SIT DOWN, I DUNNO”.
The content of the book is what really makes it egregious, though I do recognize I react to “boys only” and “girls only” in most contexts really negatively (dating profiles and middle school sex ed classes being I suppose some exceptions). I can’t help subbing in other groups that have had privilege:
How To Survive Anything! STRAIGHT PEOPLE ONLY
How To Survive Anything! WHITE PEOPLE ONLY
Wow those book titles seem really horrible, huh? Weiiiiiiiiiiiird
