If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh; otherwise they’ll kill you.

Check out this brilliant collection of book covers, inspired by the imaginary world of Balzac, Dumas, Maupassant and others.
So originally I thought this was Dorian Gray, to which I said to myself, “AWESOME.” Turns out it is actually Bel Ami, but it is still AWESOME.
- I want a tattoo. SUPER bad. If anyone is feeling generous and doesn’t know what to get me for my birthday (which is just over a month away) tattoos are acceptable.
- I want a job. I have applied at over 20 jobs in the past three weeks and am still unemployed. This is probably not new to a lot of people, but it’s very new to me, and it’s starting to become discouraging. I have one lead that I’ve been pursuing aggressively, but I won’t know about that until Monday or Tuesday at the earliest. In the meantime, I have to make $20 stretch as far as it possibly can.
- I am going on a vacation (paid for by my mother) to San Diego tomorrow night. It will be nice to be someplace warm (unless the weather is poor), but I can’t help feeling like as soon as I get out there, every job I’ve applied to will call me for an interview. Which wouldn’t be bad of course, only a little inconvenient.
- I want to bake. I just want to make sweet things and make them look pretty. I don’t want to eat them—just make them. Maybe I’ll give them to my friends, or my professors.
- I haven’t seen my friends in too long. I had to skip out on pie night and book club this week because of my financial situation, and that sucks. As much as I like boyfriend’s friends and enjoy hanging out with them, I miss my friends. Especially Wife. I miss being snarky with her and watching Mad Men and making truffles.
Hopefully when I land in San Diego tomorrow, it will feel like a legitimate vacation. Because I kind of need one of those right now, regardless of whether I can afford it or not.
Hopefully the next time I write, I will be happily employed.

STFU, Conservatives: A Response to the Appropriation of Dr. Seuss by Those Who Don't Care About The Places We'll Go
A person’s a person, except when they’re not
There’s a pretty big difference; it matters a lot!
An embryo, blastocyst, zygote or fetus
Don’t give politicians the right to mistreat us
They can’t hear, they can’t feel, they can’t think,…
War colors my dreams lately.
I hate it. I hate that I’ll never fully understand it.

Dear Followers,
Imagine if this girl was your friend.This girl got abducted from her house 7:30 AM. Her brother watched her get dragged away into the forest by a man in camo.
Imagine that all this just happened to your friend. How scary would that be? She’s somebody’s best friend and daughter. Wouldn’t you want people to help out and find her? Even if you don’t live in the area, reblog it anyway. I’m sure that it’ll reach somebody that lives around there. Spread the word. It wouldn’t kill you to post something other than porno pictures and cute little puppies.
[Verified legit]
Oh my god, this poor girl, her poor family. Her mom and brother saw it happen.
I am nowhere near DC, but just in case…](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljml3yS0Y11qb35dso1_500.jpg)

If happy I can be I will, if suffer I must I can.
Victoria Jackson is clearly a crazy person and a bad mother. Naturally, she’s very religious in that most hypocritical of ways.
(First of all, GRN, I love ya but I wholeheartedly disagree with your claim that she’s “clearly a crazy person and a bad mother.” Ableism! C’mon!)
Hostess: “So, you don’t believe you’re homophobic?”
Victoria: “That’s a cute little buzzword of the liberal agenda…”
She accuses Glee of “trying to make kids gay” and says the show should feature a “celibacy campaign.” Not 100% sure if she realizes you can be celibate and still, you know, KISS SOMEONE.
She also expresses her confusion that liberals support Muslims and gay people, even though Muslims kill gay people, but then again, Muslims also hate God… you know what, I’m four and a half minutes in and I can’t get through the rest of this video. Ugh. This woman and her insipid little hair bow and fucked-up baby voice can go shut the fuck up.
Victoria Jackson = Dolores Umbridge. :O
STFU, Conservatives: pixyled: Long read. But WORTH it thehighshelf: uhuh-she-said: Because...
Because a White Guy Said It
Listen,
It does not matter what you say. As a woman, as a woman of color, as a woman of size, as a woman with large breasts or no breasts and a lifetime of experience with bucket…
This is sickening…. Reblog, please. Spread the word. This isn’t just a massacre, it’s a genocide. The dictator of Libya declared war on his very own people.
