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.

microaggressions:
A Facebook friend posted a picture of a PSA billboard encouraging parents to teach young boys to be respectful of women and the friend added her observation, as a teacher, that young men will meet such expectations if placed before them.
A male commenter added, “And the same can be said for young…

Actually, Sir Shitdick, I beg to differ. My inventive use of colorful language is not an indicator of a diminished vocabulary, or a lack of intelligence. My ability to embrace our bastard language in its entirety is actually far superior than yours - because, well simply, you’re…

Dear O2 3G coverage map,
You are a lying toad with as much knowledge of the 3G coverage of my area as I have of the mating habits of jellyfish.

Chinese Britons have put up with racism for too... →
Chinese Britons are often referred to as a “silent” or “hidden” minority. For although we are the fourth-largest minority ethnic group in the UK, we are virtually invisible in public life, principally the arts, media and politics.
On the surface, the Chinese seem relatively content and well-to-do, with British Chinese pupils regularly outperforming their classmates and ...

“If ‘man food’ is meat and ‘girl food’ is salad, what’s ‘gay food’?” - ummm, contributing to misogynist stereotypes? Coz the basic idea that there is man food and girl food is just so fucking sexist.
The author couldn’t even call us women, oh no, has to be girls and men.
You want to play with stereotypes of the minority you belong to,...

This weekend I was told a story which, although I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.

Because they’re nice to you, doesn’t mean they want you. Because they don’t notice when you touch them, doesn’t mean they’re encouraging you to. Because they laugh at your jokes, doesn’t mean they think you’re funny; many people laugh when they’re uncomfortable. Because they said no with a smile on their face, doesn’t mean they’re joking. Because you saw them naked...
