I want your handwriting.
Have you ever considered how strange it is that handwriting fonts have come to convey a kind of folksy authenticity in the design lexicon of our age? It’s disingenuous. Handwriting fonts - especially the ones you see everywhere (Comic Sans, Papyrus, Lucida Handwriting) - are mechanically reproduced and manipulated into a kind of cloying, fake, plastic perfection.
Penmanship is mostly a lost art - it is (rightfully) taught less and less in school, and the opportunities for people to see your handwriting are few and far between. As a result, modern handwriting looks really cool. What’s authentic and charming and inviting about real handwriting are the little imperfections that prove it came from a real person.
SO - I have decided to become a collector of handwriting.
Here’s how it works:

You reblog this or email/Facebook me
I’ll arrange for you to pick up a template
You’ll fill it out
I will create a TrueType font from your handwriting and send it to you

As I collect handwriting, I will periodically post things rendered in the handwriting of the donor - things they have taught me, important aspects of our relationship, jokes they have told me… we’ll see.
Please donate today.

YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Hell yes do I want in.

Big Pharma doesn’t need to make me feel insecure about my sex life.
The culture in which I live does that already. Not only am I distressed by the experience of physical pain, but that pain is compunded by other messages I receive more broadly.

And that is the crux of the matter. Feminism isn’t – or shouldn’t be – about a minority of privileged cis women using strongarm tactics against other, far more vulnerable women simply to prop up their distorted and outmoded worldviews. Might is most definitely not right, and the actions of those self-appointed guardians of a fictitious ‘true feminism’ have revealed the extent of the moral bankruptcy at the core of the London Feminist Network.

Enough already. Prochoicers have been taking one for the team since 1976, when Congress passed the Hyde amendment, which Jimmy Carter would later defend with the immortal comment, “There are many things in life that are not fair.” Time for the theocrats and male chauvinists to give something up for the greater good—to say nothing of the twenty prochoicers, all men, who supported Stupak out of sheer careerism. After all, if it weren’t for prochoicers, there wouldn’t be much of a team for them to play on.

I’ll admit that stained sheets are an annoyance, but getting menstrual blood on oneself is a monthly occurrence for women, and yet we somehow manage to avoid PTSD. Understanding this, and accepting that the vagina is part of the female reproductive system and not just a sterile hole for your dick, is an important step toward becoming a man worthy of fucking.

no read good

i still doubt there are many people that think this way :/

I always saw this as each person having their own stupid ideas. The way they all think the same thing about each other. Wrapped up in their own world. Each of their “conscious” being a unique twisted interpretation of the world.

I saw this as how every worker hates his/her job, and how they just want to escape the mundane/meaningless existence that comes with the wage cage. That was my first thought at least.

…no

The nice (if not best) thing about XKCD is that you don’t have to do a pseudointellectual lit-crit analysis to every comic, because the ALT-TEXT EXPLAINS THE JOKE IF YOU ARE TOO FUCKING STUPID TO GET IT.

In this case, the alt text is: “What are the odds — five Ayn Rand fans on the same train! Must be going to a convention.” The comic is called ‘Sheeple’ for Christ’s sake.

shorter version: agree with bthny

Sexual Assault Prevention Tips Guaranteed to Work!

nonotyou:

1.   Don’t put drugs in people’s drinks in order to control their behavior.

2.   When you see someone walking by themselves, leave them alone!

3.   If you pull over to help someone with car problems, remember not to assault them!

4.   NEVER open an unlocked door or window uninvited.

5.   If you are in an elevator and someone else gets in, DON’T ASSAULT THEM!

6.   Remember, people go to laundry to do their laundry, do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room.

7.   USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! If you are not able to stop yourself from assaulting people, ask a friend to stay with you while you are in public.

8.   Always be honest with people! Don’t pretend to be a caring friend in order to gain the trust of someone you want to assault. Consider telling them you plan to assault them. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the other person may take that as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

9.   Don’t forget: you can’t have sex with someone unless they are awake!

10. Carry a whistle! If you are worried you might assault someone “on accident” you can hand it to the person you are with, so they can blow it if you do.

And, ALWAYS REMEMBER: if you didn’t ask permission and then respect the answer the first time, you are committing a crime- no matter how “into it” others appear to be.
