quoted from here
“Lack of motivation” is a generally misunderstood symptom of depression. It does not mean that I sit around thinking, “Oh, I’m so depressed; why bother to do shit I don’t want to do anyway.” It means not that I lack discipline, but that there is a mental disconnect between my conscious mind, which says I want or need to do X, and the part of my brain which actually...

fuckyeahfeminists:
Regarding her decision not to have children, there’s an interesting moment between her and Walters. First, there are clips from an interview Walters conducted with Winfrey in 1988 that precede the discussion. In it Barbara asks Oprah if she foresees marriage and children with Stedman. Oprah says, sure, that would be nice but doesn’t take it much farther. Back to...

You guys, we really need a snappy alternative to “____pocolypse” or “____maggedon” for the impending weather.
Snowsterfuck? Blizzaster? Dave suggests that, in the event the snowstorm ends up less severe than predicted, we refer to it as a “snowfu.”
What you got, Tumblr?
My vote goes to blizzaster. Wintastrophe? Or for windy days, blusterfuck?

MOAR SNOW.

lifeoccupado:
There are a few people in my Facebook news feed who are saying things like, “YES, we are getting more snow. I don’t know why everybody is complaining, because it ALWAYS snows during the winter. You guys are all stupid. Get over it.”
To them, I would like to say (please pardon the caps; they are necessary):

vruz: if mccain is doing something right, it means I must be wrong? whatever. I’m glad he’s posturing to force a principled outcome, regardless of his motives. it will be fun to see him clashing with the other half of republicans.
I wish his “right side of history” philosophy also extended to things like DADT.

What happened to CNN? →
In 1991, I sat glued to the television watching Bernie Shaw and Peter Arnett broadcast from a hotel room in Baghdad while the city was being bombed. At that moment, I thought CNN was the most incredible thing that had happened in my entire life. Time magazine went on to name Ted Turner Person of the Year, in no small part because of that broadcast.
This weekend, I am traveling. Cairo is...

Rape isn’t a hypothetical question. Rape happens to real people every minute of the damn day. So instead of masturbating to the sound of my own voice, and telling everyone what I, as a great, compassionate feminist, consider to be sexual assault, I prefer to listen to the victims. IF SOMEONE FEELS VIOLATED, THAT SOMEONE HAS BEEN VIOLATED. Period. It’s not up to...
