Pro-tip: If they can spend less money on their employee’s benefits, every employer will be “morally opposed” to covering birth control. Do these people seriously not understand that if there is a loophole, EVERYONE will exploit it?
Wait, if I’m morally opposed to my employer being morally opposed to covering birth control, does this mean my FREEDOM is being trampled on?

Shredded thing
Actually turned out really, really good! I am enjoying it muchly.
Here is a recipe! Please note that all measurements are HIGHLY EXACT and should be followed upon pain of death. Also by no means should you attempt any substitutions. Also on pain of death.* If you don’t like beets or nutmeg, you probably won’t like this.
1 Granny Smith apple, unpeeled
1 large beet (raw), peeled
...
Whose bright idea was it to make this dish of shredded beets, carrots and apples?
Right.
brb, shredding everything.

Eavesdropping as my boss meets with his younger, female peer.
He’s being completely dismissive and disrespectful.

It’s funny, nothing works as well to banish a crush as actually getting to know the person you’re crushing on.
Because really, they’re not as awesome as you imagined they were.
I had a dream that I had a little bunny for a pet and I had forgotten about him and forgotten to feed him for I don’t know how long, so I went to check on him and he was all skinny and then he bit me. And I fetched him carrots and celery from the fridge.

Disabled Costa Allegra: Cruise Liner Inches Toward Seychelles
The Costa Allegra luxury cruise liner that lost power in the Indian Ocean after a fire broke out in its engine room is now being pulled by two tugboats and a French fishing vessel toward the main island of Mahe in the Seychelles.

nudiemuse replied to your post: I work in the environmental field in the public…
I would probably yell yoga makes me poop at people, cause I’m 12 and pooping is awesome LOL.
Pooping is awesome! But at the lunch table with your brand new coworkers?
Questionable.
I work in the environmental field in the public sector, so my coworkers tend to be fairly granola and quirky. Some more than others.
We have a new employee in the office, she’s a biologist* fresh out of grad school. We usually gather in the break area to eat lunch, and she shows up and pulls out her lunch, unfurling a place mat emblazoned with the words, “YOGA MAKES ME POOP!”

So I grew up in Michigan and I was terribly confused by all these people calling Romney a “native son” and Michigan his “home state”. Cause, you know, he’s from like Massachusetts or Utah or something, right?
Nope. His dad was the governor of the freaking state ‘63-‘69, and dear Mitt spent his formative years holed up at Cranbrook. (Ugh. That’s...

Body, what are you doing.
I’m usually pretty cold. But I ate a big lunch and I’m kind of stuffed and very warm! It’s like my body is like “what did you do! now we have to burn all this stuff.”
Similar thing happens if I drink soda, I can’t sit still and I have a powerful urge to run up and down the stairwells.
Maybe it knows what it’s doing.

Dear uterus,
Please stop whatever it is you’re doing. It hurts.
Also, I would appreciate not being in the bathroom every 15 minutes.
Love, me.

Great advice.

I am so fucking tired of the Academy. Cool, a bunch of 50+ year old white dudes deciding on what’s good and deserving of awards.
Just like the rest of life.
No thanks.
But the dresses are pretty, right?

Last night I was emailed some porn that someone drew of me because I said a thing on the internet that they disagreed with. Because, there you go, ‘justice.’ When stuff like that comes your way you don’t usually say anything because who gives a fuck, but oh well, let’s do it anyway. So, I’ve seen that shit before because I’ve been on the internet for 100 years, but it always looks...

Waking up in the middle of the night wheezing and having a hard time breathing: not my favorite thing.

Every time I think I’ve got these muscle things all good and strong, then I go to yoga and find out that I have muscles I never knew I had, and they all hurt.

Physics says: go to sleep. Of course you’re tired. Every atom in you has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes nonstop from mitosis to now. Quit tapping your feet.

Sometimes being on tumblr feels like whispering in a hurricane.

I like being alone, but I hate the feeling of being lonely. When you’re alone, you have time for yourself. Your thoughts finally catch up to you. You set your mind on things and everything is just clearer. Nothing’s bothering you and everything just feels right for once. When you feel lonely, you feel as if no one’s there for you. It feels like no one understands you or is willing to...
