mills: From frankb. I have to see these all the time; I don’t like it, but I understand that believers have their property and their rights, etc. Indeed, I’d rather see big crosses than big Wal*Marts. I think it would be funny to see the paroxysms of rage most Tumblrs would experience if they set foot in Baton Rouge, where entry into the city via I-10, from the east, is met with these three enormous crosses: “Welcome to Jesus Country!” That you can see them from the Super Wal*Mart parking lot is icing on the weirdo-cake. I think they’re probably trying to scare away us New Orleanians.

mills: I had intended to stop with political posts, but as dishonesty in service to ambition disgusts me I thought I’d note this NYT article on Clinton’s delightful assertion that she “misspoke” when claiming that she’d run through sniper fire at a Bosnian airport. Above is a photo from the article showing her sprinting through the hail of bullets. War is hell. In fairness, I’ve misspoken about being shot at a number of times; for example, I called in to work yesterday, telling my boss that I was unable to make it to the office due to several gunshot wounds to the stomach, which (it turns out) I had simply misspoken about.

postcardsfromyomomma:

When you don’t post something to your blog for a few days I get worried but then when you write some of the things you do i am really worried Love you anyways.Mom

I remember when my mom learned how to Google me. Sad day. Even sadder was the day my boyfriend’s mom learned how to Google me.

[I just reread this. “Love you anyways” is in itself kind of hilarious. Also, this is not from my mom! Or my boyfriend’s mom for that matter.]

“
Now, the tenure system as implemented creates walking wounded … but when you become assoc. prof. you get *more* work not less because your service load gets bumped up and you have to teach a broader range so that the newer people can teach a narrower one and get used to things … and you have to keep producing research. People who make Full often take a back seat in service so as to dedicate themselves to research, but not necessarily; I don’t see them slacking. Poor producers - and I’ve been one - are the abused and terrorized; and it isn’t the tenure system that abused and terrorized me even though I didn’t make tenure the first time; a lot of the worst abuse and terror came after tenure

Goji Juice

postcardsfromyomomma:

I had a moment to google and here are just a few of the comments. Most blogs were talking about the MLM aspect. The juice may not be a “cure all’ but it does have it’s benefits, especially for people who do not eat fruit.

you may have already done this, but I wanted you to know I have an open mind and am not always easily fooled.

I am still looking for your sock.
