‘The Hobbit’ Is Going To Be ‘Amazing,’
Benedict Cumberbatch tells MTV News working with Peter Jackson was ‘extraordinary.’
“I was very lucky [to work] with Pete,” Cumberbatch told us at Elton John’s Oscar-viewing party. “As far as the experience, what an extraordinary one it was because at the time I was in my work; I was in isolation with him and this...

TSA Ineffective, according to former FBI →
(via @cleolinda, @lilithsaintcrow, @badastronomer)
I am not surprised by anything in this blog, already knew or extrapolated the majority of it, and the only reason I’m reposting is because when Law Enforcement personnel speak, people listen. The TSA is pointless, because it is reactive. It is intrusive physically, legally, and psychologically. It is, substantively, an agency that violates...

Totally not going to leave a comment. This is my way of not leaving a comment on a specific comics blog. It’s good for two reasons: nothing I say in a comment will change the writer’s opinion, and I get to have this off of my chest on my own terms and move on.
This headline: “It had to…
Well said, Chris.
Also, you and Richard rock.
Actually true.

An introduction to the Carnival of the Random
Why am I here?
It’s a human question, existential and practical. Why am I here, what is my purpose, where is the meaning in what I’m doing?
Anyone who follows my tumblr or twitter feed knows that I’ve got a pretty broad range of interests.
Here’s the thing: none of them can be separated from who I am.
The bold, italicized, capital I me, synthesizes information...

tumblwithteresa:
I am in total agreement with this post from Bitch Magazine, and have been ever since I was called out for making similar comments in college.
I had two roomies in my freshman year of college, Rosa and Nicole. (hello, if you’re reading this!) Now, Rosa was a very small, thin young woman, while Nicole was larger, and I was larger still! Nicole and I would constantly say things...

Poem: Shake me
too much
too fast
information sings in spirals along friable nerves
the web’s lit up like christmas
sludge settling in crevices like patches of oil along the ocean floor
bits and bytes fall like flakes in a snowglobe
shaken by a frazzled adult for a child’s amusement
the light
so much light
Freeze-frame on the precise piece searched for
rummaging memory like a thief
yes,...
