You see a post with over a thousand notes?
Heart the fuck out of that shit.

always check your shoes
The battered sneakers that I wear most every day, two pairs, have come to resemble each other so much in battered-ness that I wore one of each yesterday without even noticing, which resulted in not so much chagrin as it was an effed up lower back with left me wondering what in the hell could cause so much damage to my formerly sturdy back?
Mismatched shoes, that’s what.

Featuring pieces about lots of stuff. Currently being hated here and here. Currently being liked here and here.
Just want to raise my hand for inclusion on the “hate it” side of things.
A “weekly blog”? Sorry, I call bullshit.
“Weekly” died a terrible death years ago, and that’s not exactly privileged information.

China is doing moon shots. Yes, that’s plural. When I say “moon shots” I mean big, multibillion-dollar, 25-year-horizon, game-changing investments. China has at least four going now: one is building a network of ultramodern airports; another is building a web of high-speed trains connecting…

It’s time for me to take my outrage and my anger and my incredulity and do something with it. Especially given the results of the primaries, it is time to do something. It is time to combat the Tea Party.

DC Women Kicking Ass -1971 Edition
dcwomenkickingass:
Thanks to the folks at Rainy Day Recess here’s a snapshot of the DC Women from 30 years ago. How can you not love the way they describe them? “DC’s Fighting Females” “World’s Greatest Super-Females”. “100 Action packed pages”. Would you like to see something like this again? (I’d sure like 100 pages for $.50).
I myself only have twenty or thirty gimmicks.
