Sometimes I think I should start a “look at this fucking comment” tumblr. Contributions would be solicited. And the idea would be that the contributor would write a snarky and hilarious rebuttal.
Which means the contributors would have to be someone other than pedantic ol’ me.
DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

SOMEONE EXPLAIN IT TO ME!
I can’t figure out how people are “replying” or “said” to posts on tumblr. The only way I know how is to reblog, but I keep seeing ‘Bob said, blah blah blah’ or ‘Mary replied, blah blah blah’. How do you do that since I don’t always want to reblog the whole post!

Oh hell. I don’t get it either. I can’t seem to follow what passes for “conversations” most of the time and get confused about who said what to whoever else.
I also forgot that you can check who is following you. Do I even want to know?
The good to me is that I use it as bookmarks, a quick blog when I’m too lazy to post…which is all the time now. I can still...

mini flasks: "good for you!" →
here’s the conversation i had with two different people at two different times at an event yesterday:
#1
white man: what’s your nationality?
me: oh, um, hi. uh, i’m native american.
white man: good for you!
#2
white lady: so what is your background? i’m thinking definitely some sort of asian.
me: no, i’m native..
white lady: oh! good for you! that’s wonderful!

– stuff white people do: go through stages of anti-racism awareness (via clingtomymouth) (via jadedhippy)
And you don’t know how good it feels when I see this happening, when a white person I care about, or even just know, has that *lightbulb* moment. I know they still have a long road to...
Faux Real!: Nostalgia →
Tonight I’m feeling nostalgic for the time when E was a little guy, and very cuddly, and would sit next to me for hours. All he needed was his blanket.
Oh great I just had to read this tonight, when my baby left this morning for NYC without me!!! My son, Dylan, was exactly like Ethan. He had a disintegrating blanket he loved too. He didn’t have a corner he loved, it was the soft satin...

“…but with the Coachella Valley Arts and Music festival drawing a record 75,000 people to each of its three days this year, it is the closest thing the US has to a major music event.”
WRONG! Try Milwaukee’s Summerfest, which has been going strong since the late 60s. It runs for 11 days, and attendance is between 800,000 to 1 million visitors every year. This...
