I think that cat’s giving your champagne the side-eye.
He’s just jealous! Waffles here is a raging alcoholic. He’ll drink anything with a proof.

the cat doesn’t look like he approves of the champagne
Well, he didn’t give permission for me to stop petting him.

Sidenote: YOU HAVE A FELT BIKE? instant jealousy.
I DO. I love my bike more than ice cream.
ETA: I keeps the precious next to my bed, because Alan’s bike was stolen from our building’s basement once.

hello-ampersand replied to your chat: oh, boy.
Oh, god, retail customers. I don’t understand what makes people crazy when they get to a register. Like, I just want to do my job and get out! Stop being crazy.
It’s as if customers aren’t people. Like they momentarily forget their script for interacting with other humans. Things just FLY out of their mouths! And you wonder what...

oh, boy.
Me: Do you need a bag tonight?
Custmer: Nah, the ones under my eyes are big enough.
Me: A-heh...
Customer: Come AAAHHN, that was FUNNY. Don't you have a sense of humor?? Laugh, a little!
Me: Well, I'm sick, so I'm a little slower than normal.....
Customer: Every GIRL I know is sick and cranky right now. Must be some kind of woman cold or something. Or maybe you ladies are just sensitive or something.
Me: Erm, I think it might be retail during Christmas? We interact with thousands of -
Customer: You really have no sense of humor.

you guys
i haven’t had any coffee or booze since Christmas eve, because sick.
WHEN WILL DEATH COME.
it’s so satisfying when people take the time to tell me that they appreciate our Sociology section (which I curate) being well-stocked with great feminism, body image and African American studies books (among other things).
So, basically, THANKS TUMBLR FEED.

The Recruiters' War by Michael Bronner →
federov:
“Cold-calling high-school kids at home is now a ubiquitous recruiting tactic, thanks to a clause buried deep within the No Child Left Behind Act. The law’s Section 9528, lobbied hard for by the Pentagon, is a mandate that public high schools provide military recruiters with the names, addresses, and home phone numbers of all juniors and seniors—information high schools have...
love-and-radiation:
You guys, it’s not like whole groups of people who weren’t white spontaneously came into existence after Generic Fantasy Epic Medieval Times. It’s not like Generic Faux-Britain or Scandanavia or whichever fictive country of your choosing had a magical ethnicity-specific force-field around it. There were people of colour travelling in actual comparable real world times, and...

i haven't posted about
my body-image stuff for a while. I have some peace right now, because I’m home sick while Alan’s at work.
This is where I’m at right now. I preface with that sentence because one of the things I’m realizing through this process is how often “where I’m at” changes. Every week my thought processes shape-shift and reveal something beneath. Another layer,...
ampahsand asked: Re: Parking spaces on Haight--“I love to park and unpark hundreds of times in the Mission District. Nothing is more fun than driving down the street parking — and unparking — in the thousands of open parking spots. I marvel at it every year, as in no one is ‘from’ San Francisco, and all the hipsters empty out to visit family in Cleveland.” — Jordana...

Husboy wants to take me on a “Date” tonight, and I don’t know what the actual fuck that means, because date night to me generally involves my underpants, a metric fuckton of Rebel Yell whisky, and Murder, She Wrote reruns.
So.

Christmas is the time when, instead of forming coherent sentences as if they’ve spoken to other humans before, people run in, exasperated, and bark titles (or authors, or vague descriptions) at you in a tone that’s barely one notch above a grunt. Or, they slam the book down on the gift wrap table with only a sigh to serve as a greeting.
Oh, humanity! They’re only books,...

counterclock-wise:
And I can’t stand when customers get snippy because they were unable to use one of the other 51 weeks in the year to get their fucking presents.
They can’t use the other 51 weeks to shop! See, the holiday season sneaks up on us! It comes at a different time every year, so we never know when to expect it! Preparation is impossible!

WE SHOULD REMEMBER THIS MORE OFTEN:
approachingsignificance:
That it’s important to take good care of your body.
That our body does a lot for us, even though we’ve bashed it over and over and over.
That exercise is meant to be enjoyed, so you only practice the physical activities that are fun and truly make you feel good.
That you’ll still have days where you probably hate your...
