Rob Thomas has been sending out videos of cast members as they are added to the Veronica Mars movie. Ryan Hansen is returning as Dick Casablancas so he made a video too. Everything seems normal until about half a minute in…

Bless these assholes.

Let’s hear it again that our society “doesn’t need feminism.”

Excuse me, I’ll just step out back into the 1950’s to take my motherfucking casserole out of the oven

Seriously, Bill O?

‘What the heck just happened?’ is right.

Yeah! And we can’t have our trophy wives get fat, amirite?

Cause, as a woman, fat is the absolute WORST thing you could be. Worse than being a terrible person!………Like all of the men in this picture.

Founders Online

Yesterday afternoon, the National Archives launched Founders Online—a tool for seamless searching across the Papers of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Alexander Hamilton. A partnership between the University of Virginia Press and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, you can read more about this massive undertaking at Prologue: The Papers of the Founding Fathers Are Now Online

National History Day winners had the honor of making the inaugural search, reportedly using the keyword “Cheese.”

But what kind of cheese did the Founders favor? We found at least 2 hits for “Stilton” — the “king” of cheeses. Maybe some intrepid Tumblarians can find a more egalitarian variety within?

Has any town here read a shocking number of political biographies?

Or biographies in general?

(Pretty blond hair optional.)

Serious query though - I have a follow-up question. Please drop me a message. Thanks!

"Writers often refer to life as a stream or a journey – a continuous, ever-changing flow of events...."

Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:06:58 -0400

“

Writers often refer to life as a stream or a journey – a continuous, ever-changing flow of events. It’s poetic but doesn’t capture how the human mind construes the passage of time. Our natural inclination is to chunk our lives into episodes and seasons, rather like a DVD boxed set.

The “Boxed Set approach” is significant to goal setting because where we place the episode dividers affects the way we perceive our past and future selves. If we think of a future self as being in a completely different (DVD) Season, so to speak, we are more likely to think of that future self as more separate and distinct from the person we are now. This sense of distance is energizing because it makes visible the ground we’ve yet to cover.

Think of it like this: today you’re only mid-way through Season One of your life whereas those episode dividers indicate your end goal is located all the way in Season Two. This goal-achieving version of you in Season Two is superior to Season One you, which is a good thing, but you’ve got to work hard through some important life episodes to get there.

”

I really like this idea.

No, that’s okay. I definitely needed to cry over a comic today. That is fine.

oooh I am crying right now

I got to the bottom and actually made a dumb vocalized “oh” noise and teared up. Jfc. Good comic.

i just had to close my office door.

I like how things that would be total crack in any other fandom are often the easiest-to-understand bits in this one.

i still cared more about these two in a few episodes than i did for clara all season long.

“

“How shall I know her?” I asked, not certain I wanted to know what sort of woman would have loved Poseidon and produced my father.

“By her history,” Persephone said, in a voice gone sweet with delight. Her eyes were not sleepy; they were round and bright, fixed on me. “For she dared great things for love, as you have done.”

“I have done no great things,” I mumbled.

“No? Then perhaps you shall yet.”

mfortki:

Selin tells me of being beaten by over 30 officers before being jailed for 3 days without food. They called her whore and threatened to fuck her on the spot. She turned off her phone because she knows how they use it to call her friends and tell them to come save her before arresting them, too. And she refused the opportunity to speak with her parents until safely in court, knowing that if she dialed them the police would take the phone, call her a terrorist before her parents’ ear and then abruptly hang up, leaving them to anguish in fear until her release. When I ask how she knows this and if she’s ever been arrested before, she tells me her friends faced the same thing days before and that many are still in hospitals recovering. She was relatively “lucky.”

theparisreview:

Protesters have erected a makeshift library in Istanbul. “The books, arranged on shelves laid on breeze blocks below a tarpaulin, range from left-wing philosophy to author Dan Brown. With contributions from individuals and bookstores, the number of books has swelled to more than 5,000.”
