I'm supposed to be moving in less than a week
So mother nature, you’re cool to keep this up for a few days, but then you really need to calm down. Really.
I'm 24 years old, and I just this year finally got...

Makes me interested in his days at W&L…
So sometimes I end up with "Christian"...
And yesterday, I heard a comment from a military chaplain that completely floored me.
Keep in mind that everyone involved in this radio conversation publicly proclaims himself to be a follower of the same Jesus the Christ of Nazareth who’s in the Bible that’s available for anyone to read. This isn’t a different Jesus or a secret other Bible.
Also keep in mind many of the...
I'm pretty sure Appalachian Electric Power is...
Keeping in mind that for Dominion Power (in Lexington) it took a $90 deposit for a new account, the “deposit” to open an account with AEP is two hundred and sixty damn dollars. 260.
That’s not a deposit though, it’s really a loan because I’ll get it all back later. It’s an extravagant loan that pays me no interest on my money, but that’s necessary to...
Why today was super awesome:
1. It’s official—I signed the lease for our new place!
2. QVC decided to end seasonal employment today, which means my love gets here 3 days earlier than if he needed to give 2 weeks’ notice.
3. Secret christmas-related wins. Trust me, it’s awesome.
4. And some other stuff. Really, I’m too tired for lists. I am long past the point in my life when being awake at...
Don't get me wrong, I love the social/political...
… but for god’s sake, can nothing be appreciated just for its merits for half a damn minute before we have to point out every single way that it still completely fucks society and everyone in it?
I love you guys… but you’re also the reason I have to take week-long internet breaks, because you make the world really fucking bleak with the unending harping on all the...

I love you always

I’m not exactly overjoyed with the whole commercialization/sexualization of breast cancer trend that’s all up in America these days, but it has occurred to me that my inner adolescent male child would approve if some foundation set a fundraising goal for 5,318,008 dollars.
Despite its *ahem* subtlety, I think that that particular goal would ultimately be more honest about the real...

I’m a winner!
No seriously… they’re having holiday gifty-prizey things, and I won a set of teas. I’m so stoked.

What the what??
The new Food Tyranny Act — called the “Food Safety Modernization Act” in the U.S. Senate — has been passed by the senate today. It would give the FDA vast new powers to criminalize and imprison farmers and food producers while doing absolutely nothing to address to real root of the food contamination problem: Factory animal farm operations (which are ...

Anonymous asked: So I randomly stumbled across your tumblr and couldn't help but notice that you're gorgeous! Then as I'm skimming through I come across Douchebag Anon's post trying to call you ugly. Now, I think there's nothing more lame than insulting people from behind your computer screen, and I'm hoping you agree and didn't take that guys crap seriously. But it still made me...

DENIED! Judge Rejects Health Care Challenge
liberal-lad:
A federal judge in Virginia threw out a lawsuit on Tuesday that had charged that Obama’s healthcare law is illegal, a major victory for the landmark legislation that has faced several challenges. Liberty University, a conservative Christian college, had sued the federal government, claiming the law’s individual insurance mandate was unconstitutional. U.S. District Judge Norman Moon...

One of my good friends just ended her friendships with me, and a group of people that care a lot about her. Why? Because of the stupid things all of you extremists have put in her mind. Sure she can be liberal and want equality, but to the point that it affects your relationships? It’s ridiculous. All of you, sit down and think about...
