“take your milk-chocolate eating ass back to antwerp! zut alors!”

 

I think…I think…I’ve read enough Sherlock fanfic to start writing reviews of it.

“Listen,” I said, “when you see me sitting there staring off into the distance doing nothing, I’m busy.”

jennydeluxe:

also true if you replace “off in the distance” with “at the internet” 

rap genius you are just the worst

 

two poems

Habitation • Margaret Atwood

Marriage is not 
a house or even a tent 

it is before that, and colder: 

The edge of the forest, the edge 
of the desert 
the unpainted stairs
at the back where we squat 
outside, eating popcorn 

where painfully and with wonder 
at having survived even 
this far 

we are learning to make fire 


To A Stranger • Walt Whitman

Passing stranger! you do not know
How longingly I look upon you,
You must be he I was seeking,
Or she I was seeking
(It comes to me as a dream)

I have somewhere surely
Lived a life of joy with you,
All is recall’d as we flit by each other,
Fluid, affectionate, chaste, matured,

You grew up with me,
Were a boy with me or a girl with me,
I ate with you and slept with you, your body has become
not yours only nor left my body mine only,

You give me the pleasure of your eyes,
face, flesh as we pass,
You take of my beard, breast, hands,
in return,

I am not to speak to you, I am to think of you
when I sit alone or wake at night, alone
I am to wait, I do not doubt I am to meet you again
I am to see to it that I do not lose you.

when things are terrible (and when things are just ok) watching frasier is helpful. 

even if they make a lot of jokes out of bodyshaming Niles’ italian greyhound.

TOMORROW: How We Spent It

Well, now that (most of) the dust has settled and we’ve made a magazine, we want to show you all how we did it. Er, at least how we figured out the finances. See the full breakdown here.

Journalism is expensive, y’all.

THIS IS FOR YOU ANN.
