“[CONTENT WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT] I’m tired of being treated like shit by you...”
– The Amazing Atheist
No commentary needed, really.

He eventually stopped spewing his distinct form of bile after this comment:
I now know that, apart from being misguided, intentionally ignorant, and quick to resort to pathetic excuses, you are also a purposefully...
Passive Agression Toward the Self →
psychotherapy:
via Psychology Today:
Are you—unawares—a mental and emotional masochist?
In self-sabotage you “act out” internal conflicts by first moving toward a goal—then retreating from it. “I can do it” is offset by “I can’t do it.” “I want it” is overridden by “No, I don’t want it.” “I deserve it” countermanded by “I don’t deserve it.” The net result of such an ambivalent—or...

Imagine going into an espresso bar, as I did in Tokyo, ordering a single shot, and being told that it’s not on offer. The counter at No. 8 Bear Pond may feature the shiniest, spiffiest, newest La Marzocco, as well as a Rube Goldberg–esque water-filtration system, but the menu, which lists lattes and Americanos, makes no mention of espresso or cappuccino.
“My boss won’t...

“Women taken seriously shock!” No, not a headline from this week, but a response to the four women who spoke at the Leveson inquiry about how the media portrays us. Anna van Heeswijk (from Object), Jacqui Hunt (Equality Now), Heather Harvey (the rape charity Eaves) and Marai Larasi (End Violence Against Women) made their case with quiet assurance, and were listened to with courtesy....

Thailand backs Twitter censorship policy | World... →
Just a heads up to folks who like to harp on about the lack of freedom in China, suggest boycotts etc but feel totally cool with other far eastern countries.
“Thailand has some of the toughest censorship laws in the world, ranking it 153 out of 178 in Reporters Without Borders’ 2011 Press Freedom Index. Thailand’s lese-majeste regulations inhibit defamatory, insulting or...

I posted a GIF-free version of this on Jezebel (as a comment), but I’m posting it here, too, just for the lulz. Angry wimminz r teh crazee, amirite dudez???
I mean seriously. A woman can’t show so much as vague annoyance or dissatisfaction without some douchebag going, “Lighten up!” or “Crazy…

Dans Tes Bras - Maurice Roucel for Frederic Malle
In fact I’ve been stuck on this since the weekend, I may have to get a bottle. A big bottle. Although I can’t work out why it smells different on one wrist the the other.

I have been called an extremist before. Which usually serves as a laugh, because obviously someone who calls a seventeen year old blogger an extremist has no concept of suicide bombings, occults, or genocide. But truthfully, there are times when I feel like…

A website called studentbeans.com has come up with the cheapest possible Christmas dinner – and just as an aside, it amuses me (in a grim way) how students are the acceptable face of economy food. Students and chemists: cast your mind back to the toast sandwich. That only made it on to BBC Radio 4’s Today programme because it was an intellectual exercise, experimenting with maximum ...

The Rise of the New Groupthink →
youmightfindyourself:
By SUSAN CAIN NY TIMES Published: January 13, 2012
SOLITUDE is out of fashion. Our companies, our schools and our culture are in thrall to an idea I call the New Groupthink, which holds that creativity and achievement come from an oddly gregarious place. Most of us now work in teams, in offices without walls, for managers who prize people skills above all. Lone geniuses...

My Experience With A Scary Nice Guy(TM)
sweetdreamr:
So I really ought to be doing something productive, like homework. But as usual, I find myself on Tumblr. Sad but true.
Anyhoodles.
What I’ve been wanting to talk about for some time is something I’m very much afraid of. And that has to do with Nice Guys(TM), who are not to be confused with Good Men.
