synecdoche:
If you guys are planning on dramatically deleting your accounts when Yahoo! buys Tumblr, can you at least migrate back to livejournal? It’s so cold and lonely there.

there’s apparently a place called Marx Cafe (“revolutionary cuisine”) in mt. pleasant and it seems like the epitome of bourgeois (big surprise). it’s a goofy sports bar with expensive wines. i was hoping it would be like a DC analog of Red Emma’s in baltimore.
Name is stupid, food is mediocre, DJ nights are good, half-price wine night is even better, that I don’t have to run...

If anyone wants to drink this weekend, I...

uptowngirl:

I am making a crime database where the user can report crime and it adds it to a list of already existing crime. it’s not really like, compatible for IRL because I have it so you can like, report your own homicide and I don’t know why anyone would report a crime to a website before 911 but you know,...

“It’s weird for people who still have feelings to be around depressed...”
– Hyperbole and a Half: Depression Part Two
I have written before about having really bad anxiety. I don’t like talking about it. I don’t like saying the reason I can’t sleep, or do work, or enjoy going out is because my anxiety is bad—except that is usually the reason. And...

At BikeFest (our big, annual fundraising party), one of my organization’s board members was like, “I was searching for a new road bike, and then I saw all these...
