So my mom found the two boxes of condoms I bought...
and she just asked me, all jokey (with an undercurrent of WHY THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE CONDOMS), “So what, did you buy those condoms because you were hopeful?” and I had to play it off all “Oh my god, Mom, as if, it’s because my friends dared me to so I did,” all LOL OH MA YOU SO FUNNY LOL THAT’S SUCH A HILARIOUS JOKE ESPESH BECAUSE YOU AND I ARE UNCOMFORTABLE...

My parents are watching The Social Network for the first time and my mom is baffled by the fact that Armie Hammer is one person playing two people. “Their voices are identical! Oh, oh, they’re TWINS, I get it now.” Yeah, they’re twins, Mom, that’s the Winklevosses. “Gosh, those boys who are playing them really are identical twins!” Well, no, Ma,...

Oxford Writing and Style Guide no longer... →
flavorpill:
harpermd:
As a general rule, do not use the serial/Oxford comma: so write ‘a, b and c’ not ‘a, b, and c’. But when a comma would assist in the meaning of the sentence or helps to resolve ambiguity, it can be used — especially where one of the items in the list is already joined by ‘and’.
YES. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
RIP Oxford Comma

Pride: A Summary
So I went to Pride this weekend with Geranium and his friends C and G (a girl/boy couple), M and K (a girl/boy couple), and E and A (a boy/boy couple).
It was fun yayyayaay
MY ASS LOOKED REALLY FANTASTIC and everyone loved it and kept smacking it and I wore super-high-waisted ass shorts that Cordyline cut for me from thrift-store jeans and a button-up tied up with the sleeves cut off and it...

Real Women
transitive-propertiesss:
Real women do not have curves. Real women do not look like just one thing.
Real women have curves, and not. They are tall, and not. They are brown-skinned, and olive-skinned, and not. They have small breasts, and big ones, and no breasts whatsoever.
Real women start their lives as baby girls. And as baby boys. And as babies of indeterminate biological sex whose bodies...

The facts of the matter are these:
I am supposed to be going through my gram’s jewelry and other possessions before my aunt and uncle come by tomorrow morning to cart it all away.
Let me reiterate:
It’s late at night.
I’m home alone.
In an enormous house.
You expect me to go into a dead woman’s room
(which she claimed was haunted)
and snoop through all her stuff, including blank-stared dolls and the...

(TW for problematic attitudes)
What I don’t approve of: Creating “comedy” that perpetuates and reinforces problematic attitudes and then justifying it by being like “lol I don’t agree with it I am like totally for everyone’s rights lol but lol the people want it.” That’s not okay, yo. Just because your surveys tell you that you will be successful if you give the people Delightful...

ugh I feel like I may be rapidly getting over this book
it looked like it was going to be great
but already it’s all
heterocentric
a bit generalize-y
decidedly slut-shame-y
and
worst of all
condemnatory of what it calls
“the ugliest kind of hip-hop music, all thumping and shouting about luxury cars”
how dare you
I love my hip-hop

I ran tonight.
It’s not like I was ever a Runner. I did track in middle school. My relay team always won at meets, but only because I was friends with the fast girls. Then again, middle school was also when I could keep up with my friend The Runner, the one who runs miles in under four minutes, as long as he didn’t start sprinting.
He talked me into doing cross country with him the...
