I am a little nervous about this, btw. Requiem for a Dream (The...

How to tell if a CEO is lying →
youmightfindyourself:
bobulate:

kateoplis:
What a fine human being—a perfectly calibrated moral and aesthetic compass. I want him to be my dad or president or someone else whose words of wisdom I’m duty-bound to listen to with some regularity. Because I totally would.
Hear, hear!

AS Byatt says women who write intellectual books... →
I haven’t seen this article mentioned in the multiple “boys do NOT write better than girls” threads of conversation, so I just wanted to make sure interested parties saw it. I love that Antonia can still piss people off like this. Go on, girl!

Have you ever tried to reblog a pullquote from someone’s long, texty tumblthing, and had the power of the words disintegrate when ripped out of their original context?

The upward limit
A conversation between me and my 13-year-old self (who is proudly wearing her City of Angels autographed t-shirt) on 45th Street between Broadway and 8th Ave. 9:55am. We are on our way to perhaps buy $20 rush tickets to the first preview of Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson’s Broadway run. They go on sale at 10am. We are running late. It is raining.
