vegansaurus!: Redefining Vegetarianism: Oh NO he didn't! →
vegansaurus.com
Chef Yotam Ottolenghi, who I’ve never heard of, is redefining vegetarianism. BECAUSE HE CAN. JUST KIDDING who the fuck is he?
Here he goes, “‘You can be vegetarian and eat fish,’ he says. ‘It’s your choice, just say: “I am what I am.” There are no hard core divisions any more.’” As a Popeye fan, I’m all for, “I am what I am,” but if you eat fish, what you am ain’t a vegetarian. What you are is someone who doesn’t eat any meat besides fish. How hard is that to say? It’s no more difficult than saying “I’m vegetarian but I eat fish” and it has the bonus of not being TOTAL BULLSHIT.
(via Vegetarian Star!)
This drives me crazy, and because of it, I constantly get asked things like “Do you eat fish? Do you eat chicken?” *eye roll*
“me, having a character that is open to exploring their sexuality is about the same as having a girl hero — just something natural and cool. Here’s the word: Tara not gonna disappear. She’s part of the show, part of Willow’s life. I’m not saying everything will be sunshine and roses (not on MY show, dammit), but there is more to explore with the two of them. And hopefully, this NONSENSE will die down, because I’m not TRYING to make a political statement. I NOD OFF during political statements. My show is about emotion. Love is the most powerful, messy, delightful and dangerous emotion. (Although I think envy is kind of the sexiest.) Willow’s in love. I think it’s cool.”

- We think about eating chocolate 24/7, but if we eat it it will undo all the hard work of only eating bunny food all day, so instead we “treat” ourselves to some shitty cereal
- being on our period makes us wear hoodies
- Cleaning the house occupies our every waking thought and new ways to clean make us happier than anything else in the universe
- we love to nag everyone around us
- the only thing we want from life is for our boyfriend to buy us tacky jewelry from Jared’s
- we are all complete fire breathing bitches when we have PMS
- we constantly force men to shop with us
- we talk a lot, but not about anything important.
- we whine and whine and whine.
- we never want our boyfriends to do anything with their friends
“Listen, here’s what I think. I think that we can’t go around measuring our goodness by what we don’t do, by what we deny ourselves, what we resist, and who we exclude. I think we’ve got to measure goodness by what we embrace, what we create and who we include.”

You're at a stoplight:
And an amazing song comes on the radio so you start to dance:
And the driver next to you catches sight of you and stare:
So you give the smile:
And go back to breaking it down:
All. The. Time.
Excellent! Except for the last one, I’d use something from this video of Dean. (the eye of the tiger one!) Probably him using his leg for a guitar, hahaha.
This is a thing that is real
“That long-held empirical value of pi, I am not saying it should be necessarily viewed as wrong, but 3 is a lot better,” said Roby, the 34-year old legislator representing Alabama’s second congressional district, ushered into office in the historic 2010 Republican mid-term bonanza.

These are the people that run our government.
“Firefly fans will see me, do a double take, stop, nod and say ‘Captain’ with an air of ‘I know what you’ve been through. I’ve been there too’. A guy did it to me in a furniture store the other day. I was walking by, and he saw me, stopped, stood up straight, and said, ‘Captain,’ and I nodded and said, ‘As you were.’”

Remember that time when Fred and George repeatedly hit Voldemort in the face with snowballs?
“Christmas was coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.” – Philosophers Stone, CH. 12
Ha! I never thought about that.
