In Regard to the State of My Gender: An Incomplete List of Noteable People I've Delivered Pizzas To:

It’s coming up on a year now since I got my current job as a pizza delivery girl, and I thought this would be a good time to delve into the little ever-expanding “WTFPIZZA” note I keep on my cell that helps me remember some of my more, uh - interesting deliveries.

So without further ado and in no…

13 Photos From Taiwan’s First Same-Sex Buddhist Marriage

Huang Mei-yu and Yu Ya-ting wed Saturday in a traditional Buddhist ceremony. Their union still isn’t recognized by the Taiwanese government, though support for gay marriage is mounting across Asia.

By Jessica Testa on Buzzfeed

Buddhist Master Shih Chao-hwei performed the ceremony, giving the women his full support: “I am certain you will lead a life of happiness together, especially after you have overcome so much difficulty and societal discrimination,” he said. “You have blessings not only from the Buddha, but also from those whom you may or may not know who are in attendance.”

Hi!

Wow. I’m not sure. I was on and off tumblr for a while, and I barely have time to read my dash these days. It looks like she deactivated her tumblr, and I’m sure she had her reasons for doing so.

FromNoonaWithLove, hope you’re doing okay out there!

These illustrations by Billy Nunez take the cast of The Wizard of Oz and transports them waaaay away from Kansas, into a mystical Chinese realm. And yes, before someone mentions it, there are koalas in China. Also, if the Lion is now a Tiger, who is the Tiger?

Me, playing with BF's 4-year-old niece: What are you going to do with that shovel?
Niece: I'm gonna dig in the dirt.
::1 minute passes::
Niece: I'm bored. There's nothing here.
Me: Why don't you try planting something?
Niece, looks around: What can I plant?
Me: Why don't you try planting this rock?
Niece, mystified: Can I really plant it?
Me: Sure, you can.
Niece: What does it grow into?
Me: A bigger rock.
Niece, skeptical: Is that true?
Me: Sure, it is. Where do you think mountains come from?
Niece: Rocks?
Me: That's right. Haven't you ever seen a mountain?
Niece: Yes...
Me: And what's a mountain?
Niece, enlightenment dawning: A big rock!

Guys, guys! Day 3 in New Orleans and I am absolutely in love.

The food’s fantastic, the people friendly, the rent affordable, and I’m currently at a coffee shop that makes my top 3 list, hands down. There’s a built-in PC cafe in the place, they’re bumpin’ punk music, and the BF’s playing Go with one of the regulars. The bathroom graffiti features book recommendations and references to Monty Python.

I want to move to here.

The only cons I can see so far are: The weather’s hotter than Harry Shum Jr. on a grill, and there’s a notable lack of Asian food. But seriously! Smoking cigarettes and drinking $5 beer at a jazz bar? Perfect.

In Case You Missed It of the Day: Aaron Sorkin’s new show The Newsroom debuted Sunday night to mostly poor reviews, but no matter – here’s the most predictably Sorkin-esque scene, in which Jeff Daniels argues against American greatness.

[Not Safe For Work — Daniels gets ALL riled up.)

[hypervocal]

Dear Mr. Sorkin,

You know, your main character—or should I say avatar?—derisively mentions that America leads the world in adults who believe in angels. I sincerely hope you consider yourself part of that demographic, Mr. Sorkin; it could not be more clear that you have deified a version of the United States of America that never existed, and moreover have elevated those individuals that have come to represent the myth to a place “deserving” of worship.

You say that once, America stood up for what was right; you say that once, America fought for moral reasons. When I look at the history of the country I live in, I run into Manifest Destiny; I find the histories of our systemic oppression of indigenous Americans; I find our incursions into Vietnam and Korea, both for our own ends; I find imperialism, colonialism, and the incredibly pervasive idea that it was our job—our duty—to invade, takeover, and subjugate other countries to our will, all in the name of freedom. Are these the moral reasons you’re talking about, sir? Have I, perhaps, missed a memo?

You say that once, Americans waged war on poverty, not on poor people—really, Mr. Sorkin? When was that, exactly? Was it when we allowed sweatshops to grow and flourish, turning a blind eye to the abusive conditions occurring inside of them on a daily basis? Was it during the rise of unsafe, unregulated tenement housing? Was it during the period of time when slavery ran rampant in this country, which—lest you forget—was, from a historical perspective, pretty fucking recently? What about after slavery, Mr. Sorkin? Do the Jim Crow laws and the people they oppressed, both financially and otherwise, fit into your sunny worldview of a country that battled poverty, but treated its poor with respect? Do they, sir? Do they really?

You want to talk about aspiring to intelligence; you want to talk about caring for our neighbors; you want to glorify a time when people “didn’t scare so easy,” where people sacrificed, where America didn’t beat its chest. I may be part of the worst (period) generation (period) ever (period), but I’ll tell you what, Mr. Sorkin: I’ve done my goddamn homework on the nation whose flag I pledged my allegiance to every day for twelve years, and the country you believe in never existed. Like you, sir, America has had moments of shining brilliance and glorious talent, and like you, sir, America has always tended to be blinded by her own arrogance. This country has some great history, but it also has some really terrible history, and its ignoring that truth is dangerous and limiting and deeply wrong, whether you want to admit it or not.

Here’s the deal, Mr. Sorkin: my first political awareness dates to watching your show, The West Wing, with my father on Wednesday nights. By all accounts, you are an egotistical, misogynistic, self-aggrandizing bastard, but I have chosen to consume the media you produce anyway, because, until now, I’ve been able to find some merit in it—and, hey, because you helped shaped me and quite a bit of the rest of the generation you here called the worst ever. But if you’re going to have the nerve to produce the scene I just watched, then I have this to say: America is too goddamn old for your prostrate worship of Great White Male to be relevant. It’s gross, and it’s wrong, and it’s boring, and it’s contributing to the very problem you seem so intent on arguing against. I love my country, sir, but not the version of her you seem to have imagined. To love that version of America…well. It wouldn’t be loving America at all.

You say the first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one, Mr. Sorkin, so here’s my advice: buy a mirror, and shut the hell up.

There are some fucking quality people on my dash, my god

I was very disappointed when I rewatched some Aaron Sorkin recently by the bullheaded blindness, Whedon-esque brand of feminism, and worship of the Good Ol’ Boys. Striking this guy off my favorite screenwriters list, and shaking my head sadly at mini!me who didn’t realize she was being patronized by a delusional narcissist all these years.

“I guess if you’ve managed to familiarize yourself with your e-reader but not YouPorn, well-written erotica, or your own body, congratulations on “finding” Fifty Shades of Grey … but also for going one more day without stumbling into a zoo enclosure. Up top.”

- This review of the “soccer mom” porn, or whatever they’re calling it, Fifty Shades of Grey, is hilarious.

I really liked this part too:

I’m not even going to condemn it because I’ve seen better storytelling in an evening news segment about a raccoon who got a peanut butter jar stuck on his head in a Wendy’s parking lot. What I do take issue with is that an author is making money off of people who are too technologically illiterate to find GOOD porn out there and are getting stuck with this nonsense instead because it’s the one part of Computers they can’t just ask a nephew about.

I just laughed quite hard.

The whole of this review is just full of snarky genius.
