If you were to build a castle today, what would you keep in the moat?
Three ninjas, a gator, anti-gun legislation, and fill it with cheap, horrid beer, like Natty Lite. No one will want to cross it then.

If you could go on vacation for the next month with an unlimited budget, where would you go?
Portland. Always. One of my favorite cities in the country. If it weren’t for the hell that was senior year, I’d be at Reed College right now, enjoying the splendor of the Pacific Northwest.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
A woodchuck wouldn’t. He’s cool telling the pigeons to do that for him. Effectively, you can say the woodchuck produces enough for a small Latin American country.

hi! what was the first book you bought for yourself? what was the first concert you attended.
My first book - The original, complete Winnie the Pooh. Not the Disney stuff, but the real thing with the nice art. I was five. My first concert - I don’t even know, but it was at Music Midtown, back when it was cool and everyone complained that it was too loud.

The bots will use my content to steal pennies from advertisers and time from people. Some of the humans won’t realize they’re doing anything wrong. The others think I won’t notice.
People will misquote, re-title, and edit my content...

Once again I must point out: THIS IS NOT A JACK KEROUAC QUOTE. This is an Apple Computer advertisement.

YES. Too long have women avoided being mad or just upfront based on this really dumb streotype. This need to be okay and hide a natural emotion not only stunts progress,...
amberlrhea:
I call total BS on the post Renee at Womanist Musings did about feminism being “exclusionary” (saw it via poisonthemonkey’s Tumblog). All it proves is she doesn’t know her history. And funny how people fall over themselves to show how hip to “intersectionality” (that word keeps getting misused) they are by reblogging/liking it, but other folks writing a post w/ a similar title would...

It's A Fight for Our Lives
Sometimes, it seems like anti-race/sex/class-ism movements are in a large race to the bottom, that black people are fighting for position among hispanic populations, that white men think that women and minorities are against them, that men and women treat others as objects in which the darker side of our personalities can be projected, and transwomen/transmen are vigorously attacked by cisgendered...
