I am off on adventures now, internet! I will see you in a couple weeks. Don’t get into too much trouble without me.

– Tiger Beatdown › Enter Ye Myne Mystic World of Gayng-Raype: What the “R” Stands for in “George R.R. Martin”
Sharing this because I am pretty sure it will piss half of y’all off.

I hope that he will be too busy at work to destroy your house very much.
I predict he will either spend the entire time racing RC cars with his friends and playing video games and eating crappy fast food, OR he will destroy my kitchen creating some sort of Meat Feast.

R isn’t going to Burning Man with you?
No, he has to work! It is very sad.
Today R broke a jar in my freezer by putting extremely hot tea right next to it, causing the glass to shatter.
Then later he refilled our britta pitcher, but somehow put it in the fridge with the spout thing open, causing our fridge to flood with water. (Our britta pitcher is very large, and has a spout in the front which dispenses water.) Then he was like “Oh, it’s not that...

“[ 136.728781] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint”
– Because I am 12, I find this kernel status message amusing. Kernel taint! Hee hee.

B just got into O’Hare, and he’s walking through the connecting tunnel that looks like this:
This tunnel was where P Diddy filmed the video for “I’ll be missing you.”
So B sent me a video of himself walking down the aisle. He’s so silly.
I unexpectedly went down this tunnel in an … altered state … one time. It was very surprising.

Mmm….swamp is a great use of the “mmm…” I don’t know if that makes sense, but I can hear it in my head and it just sounds funny.
If you ever taste Laphroaig, you’ll agree it’s the perfect description for it. It’s the...

Our last entry is another medium amber reporting the letters BA which is immediately prejudicing me to the Balvenie distillery, which is probably unwise since there ARE other active distilleries that begin with BA…
The nose on this one is milder than either of the other two, and more fruity.
Yes, that’s Balvenie: the tofu of...

Please read the linked story. It’s chilling, but an important reminder that not everything is as one-sided as anti-choice politicians want you to think.

I have a feeling El-wire is going to be on my “I should do this next year” list until around 2022
But El-wire is the easiest! You can buy it all pre-soldered with a driver, and then just hot glue it to whatever.
I am maybe a little into costume making.

Just spent 20 minutes frantically searching for my El-wire drivers. Found at least one bin of burning man crap I didn’t know I had.
I own a LOT of furry hats.

Hey @stfupenguins, did you get my ask-reply about where I’ll be at Burning Man, or did Tumblr eat it?

One thing about being an atheist that really sucks
themoderatelyambitiousscientist:
nanner:
ladyhazard:
I feel utterly useless when I need to comfort someone in their grief. I can’t “remember them in my prayers.” I can’t say something like, “They’re in a better place now,” or “She’ll be watching over you” (creepy!), or “You’ll see them again in Heaven.”
The atheist version, silently in my head at least, is: “Damn, yo. I hope the chaotic...

Basically, it connotes that a man “needs” a space where he can go escape and “be a man” while the woman is stuck with whatever needs to be done around the house and must deal with reality.
It is a manifestation of the lackadaisical attitude that some people—particularly some men around my age or…

I’m a big Regretsy fan. I love that they scour Etsy for the craziest crap for my amusement. For the first time ever, they have posted something that has squicked me so bad I don’t know if I’ll ever recover. So of course I had to share it with all of my Tumblr followers (I think my husband refers to them as Tumblies?)
…why would someone want this??
That’s...

1. Those two weeks between the crazy month where I taught a class and wrote a paper and now, the two weeks where I didn’t wake up every morning to a surge of adrenaline and panic over how much I need to get accomplished in a day? Those weeks were awesome. And I miss them.
2. Getting mah code organized - needs to be done, but still feels satisfyingly like procrastination.

Someone in my department sent a racist email to an all-department mailing list. (It said “You need to arrange for the move this week and staff it professionally (meaning enough professional people for move - No Mexican !! )” regarding a free piano.)
