Jada Harper, who turned seven on Sept. 1, has an inoperable malignant tumor in her brain and is in a coma with a ventilator doing her breathing for her. She has been at the famous cancer center in Houston since July, but her situation is now at the point not much else can be done to help her.
Friday afternoon, Jada was flown home to the Ozarks — on a gurney, attached to the...

On Scotch
frostinglickr:
Natalie and I are convinced that the one thing holding us back from TRUE awesomeness is the fact that we are not Scotch drinkers. We are going to attempt to become Scotch drinkers. There are a few problems with this, not the least of which is the fact that I am a lightweight who cannot handle the taste of hard liquor. Natalie can drink Gin, so she is more badass than myself,...

TJ has forced me to use a word I hate and now I must smite him.

I’m here to preserve an accurate version of history, not your edited version. Think of me like Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietumblr.
(pssst! Maya, I actually changed ‘moot’ to ‘mute’ when I reblogged it, just to have an extra typo here for you. Don’t tell anyone! I...

"How I Met My Wife" by Jack Winter
{Tom sent me this link via IM. As someone who cares about words, it is almost painful to read, and yet, a little fun.}
“How I Met My Wife” (A Tale in Orphan Negatives)
by Jack Winter, the New Yorker, July 25, 1994
It had been a rough day, so when I walked into the party I was very chalant, despite my efforts to appear gruntled and consolate.
I was furling my weildy umbrella for...

SHE'S SO

frumpy, yea.
Which is what I thought Peter Gabriel was saying the first time I heard Games Without Frontiers.
Jeux sans frontieres
she’s so frumpy, yea.
It works, really!
I thought it was a “She’s so funky, yay”
Just like a one-wing dove…
REPEAL DOMA
suburbanreport:
Bill Clinton supports the repeal of the abhorrently-titled DOMA at this point, and while the way he discusses his reasons for signing it in the first place strike me as the worst kind of Clinton-speak, (i.e. he allowed states to deny basic human rights to people for ALL THE RIGHT REASONS AND I PROMISE I FEEL BAD ABOUT IT, and you just know that when same-sex marriage rights are...

A link to arstechnica on the issue of “digitally enhanced” pictures.
I’ve written about my feelings about this before in Lies, damn lies, and Photoshop and Actress Natalie Portman Viciously Attacked by An Airbrush so I won’t repeat myself, except to say that I think these fake images are every bit as scary as some people feel about eating...

But I have to say this, they’re support folks are usually very responsive (i.e. an answer in the next day or so).
For example, yesterday I realized that http://tj.tumblr.com was not pointing to a Tumblr site. I also realized that...

but the day I can SIT ON my boobs is the day you’ll find me either six feet under or undergoing some serious cosmetic surgery.
If you re-read the message:

you’ll see that I was suggesting your pussy was sitting on your boobs, by...
