So I went to convenience store down the block to buy toilet paper and it was $3 but I only had $2 in cash but there’s a $5 minimum to use plastic so I bought an ice cream bar to bring up my total so now I’m eating a fucking ice cream bar while it’s fucking snowing.

So my hold on The Hunger Games came through to the library today. And no, I do not care how many eons of years I am behind the rest of you, whatever, goodbye, internet, as I revert to my teenage years and stay up til 4am reading underneath my covers with a flashlight finish the entire book hiding from my parents yelling at me to go to bed, Rachel.

Yet when I hear our politicians talking about “fixing” Washington, I often wonder to myself: whom would they like to “fix?” Is it the guy I see on the Metro every day, heading to work at the Food and Drug Administration to ensure that our food is safe? Is it the woman going into Commerce Department headquarters to support U.S. companies abroad? Or do they mean the thousands of people who support our troops overseas? How about my fellow Foreign Service officers, who put themselves in harm’s way in Baghdad, Kabul, Damascus and hundreds of other places around the world?

…

So to all our politicians, I implore you: Stop using the government workforce as a political football. Just stop. It demeans you, it demoralizes us, and it is counterproductive to drive away the best and brightest from working for the betterment of this country.

Dutch Have Officially Stolen New York City Back From Brits

perezhamilton:

Cornelis Evertsen the Younger

Sayonara, British suckers!!!

After just one day of demanding the Brits surrender New York City, the Dutch have successfully taken back the capitol of the colony under the direction of Admiral Cornelis Evertsen the Younger. We hear they have plans to rename the land “New Orange.”

Everyone really wants a piece of New York’s fine ass, but we’re not really sure why. Can’t the Dutch just take over the west side of America?? Then everyone would be happy!!

Do U think the Dutch should have reclaimed NYC?

Is there anyone on the figure skating tag that isn’t 15 years old and stupid? Just wondering. Is there anyone in this world who understands what a rhetorical question is?

i hate it, i hate fucking everything

bb-goose:

I watched the Daily Show segment on the transvaginal ultrasound bill because everyone was talking about it, and I want to vomit

it’s not funny

I want to shoot every single member of the audience who was laughing

I want to smack Stewart for cracking jokes

it’s rape

and it’s not funny

you are not good liberals doing women a service by laughing at legalized rape

Yeah the laughs/the whole thing made me really uncomfortable, though I really appreciated the part where he said “I don’t even have a joke here” but then he kind of got off that good track. I didn’t like the segment per se, but he pointed out a lot of the hypocrisy that going on with the bill, and that point he really hit on the nail.

I felt, watching it/him/his face, that he was really uncomfortable making those “jokes” but I kind of wish instead going along with it, he had just been like, “Okay, you know what, we’re moving on, this is not funny and I don’t make rape jokes.”

So this is my life right now.

Question: is the boy cute because he’s a good skater, or is he a good skater because he’s cute? 

Question, follow up: Do I work harder on this session because there is a cute boy present, because there is a good skater present, or because there is a cute boy who is a good skater present?

Question the third: How embarrassing it is it when I fall on a chocktaw right. in. front. of. him.

Question the final: Is it even more embarrassing that my cold is so terrible that my lungs can’t take the transition from cold air over the ice sheet to the humid air in the stands that I sit there next to him, coughing out my entire insides?

Do you think that this is, like, maybe just a little antisemitic?

Oh wait, you don’t think, you’re the NY Post.
