Whenever I’m single, I like to take myself on dates. You know, wine and dine myself, show myself some love. I had every intention of celebrating my first real paycheck in four months by doing exactly this tonight. So far, my date has involved:
whiskey & beer
porn

The Civil War That Wasn't - AND Magazine →
OH HI I WROTE THIS THING IT’S ABOUT LABOR UPRISINGS IN THE US IN 1920 AND WHY NOBODY CARES ABOUT THEM.
Anonymous asked: I'm not sure if this is what you'd be interested in as far as politicians getting pied, but the former premier of Alberta, Ralph Klein, got a well deserved pie to the face back in '07. It's not mentioned on his Wikipedia page but it did happen at the Calgary Stampede that year.

wingnuttery:
Does anyone know of any incidents where politicians have been pied or had things thrown at them? I’m writing an article about Rupert Murdoch’s attempted pieing. So far, I’ve got the journalist who threw at shoe at GWB, the glitter activists who got Newt Gingrich, Pawlenty, and Michelle Bachman’s husband, and a few incidents actually involving pies. Anything I’ve missed?

Telling the person who thoughtlessly broke your heart a few years ago exactly why you are denying their friendship request on fucking facebook.
I mean, they broke up me via a letter. It feels both poetic and justified.

Garfield Park Conservatory seeks recovery aid... →
Aww, man. The Garfield Conservatory is a free indoor park/conservatory on the west side of Chicago. During Thursday’s hailstorm, I guess the conservatory suffered some pretty bad damage, with 13,000 panes of broken glass, and is closed indefinitely. I haven’t been yet, and it looks like I won’t be able to go any time soon. Boooo.
