Something is fundamentally wrong with America when millions of dollars can’t buy you a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat, the respect of your children, the silence of your baby mammas, or a functional penis implant.

It’s my sweet Ursula’s third gotcha day (she’ll be 5 in April) and I do not know how I would have survived the last three years without her.

Eh, joining the military means access to better weaponry when the revolution comes, so maybe I’ll stick that possibility on the list. πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

(My favorite aunt had polio as a kid and was in the hospital for an insanely long time, I am OFFENDED by the shit that’s about to go down here. And I was born just after they stopped doing routine smallpox vax in the US).

Anyone know where to get vaccinated for smallpox? Because I have made the mistake of reading The Demon in the Freezer multiple times, and that shit scares me as much as Ebola.

Me getting my shingles vaccine last night: oooh, they have polio vaccines, too? Think I might get one when I go back for Shingrix round two, as a treat.

This goes out to the friend who rescued me that night, and completely made up for my idiot boyfriend ruining the holiday. I’ll never forget it.

Morrissey Setlist at Akron Civic Theatre, Akron Get the Morrissey Setlist of the concert at Akron Civic Theatre, Akron, OH, USA on February 14, 2000 from the Oye Esteban! Tour and other Morrissey Setlists for free on setlist.fm!

Twenty five years ago today I had tickets to see Morrissey in Akron.

On Valentine’s Day.

IN THE RAIN. (really)

However, my then-boyfriend opted to take a club gig (he was a DJ) and ditch me instead.

The trouble with Duckie: How "Pretty in Pink’s" most lovable character gave a generation of teenage boys the wrong idea I, too, saw myself in John Hughes' nice guyβ€”and like so many others, I learned all the wrong lessons from his story

If you somehow had a one-night-stand with Paul Hollywood, how bummed would you be if you didn’t get a handshake afterwards?

Sewing pattern for part of a shirt. It is clearly made from a dark brown manuscript page with small lettering written in two columns.

Sewing pattern for part of a shirt. It is clearly made from a dark brown manuscript page with small lettering written in two columns.

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern.
