is anyone else concerned about their twitter friends timeline suddenly being filled with tweets by people playing a twitter-based game, or am I just a stupid bitch who doesn’t know how to have fun?
I tend to go with TJ on this one - most auto-tweets are lame. In fact when I first saw the game being mentioned (before the deluge) I thought it looked neat - until I saw that it was...

I finally went with Lindsay to her Saturday morning yoga place. She has been telling me it will change my life for about 6 months now, so I finally threw on some obscene gray leggings and obliged.
Now, this is yoga in Williamsburg. Suffice it to say there was no gold lame left to...
WatchI really wish that I could watch more Japanese television here in the states. Is it any wonder they build cars so much better than ours?

I got tired of working at my uncle’s deli and wanted to move on to something more challenging. I needed to do something more worthwhile than slicing salami as a way to pay for my nighclubbing and drinking. Something that wouldn’t leave me smelling like head cheese at the end of the day.
A friend of a friend of a cousin told me about this place that was...

Everyone's been posting texts from last night
But this is the first one I’ve een that actually made a laugh burst out
(302): I woke up this morning with my shirt on upside down.
(1-302): You mean inside out.
(302): No, upside down. I ripped the neck hole in the process of getting it around my waist.

Exactly zero people care what I think
but that’s why I have a blog. I’m not 100% sure what the whole spinach fuss is about. The jokes are the same, but I don’t think that necessarily means plagiarism. But also, we’re talking about Twitter and favrd here. I love both of them and read them far more than I should during the day, but the stakes are pretty low here to be so worked up over something so inconclusive...

rachelhills:
Oh, bullshit. Saying that all men are rapists or that all men would rape is not only insulting and patently untrue, it also excuses the rapist responsibility for their actions. (Ie, “He couldn’t help it! He’s just a man!”)
I expect better...

My Friends' Names
funsizebytes:
I have a friend with no arms and no legs. He comes over but he can’t reach the doorbell, so he just lays there. I call him Matt.
(I may not be able to stop. I assume you’ve all heard the one about the girl with no arms and no legs who was crying on the beach?)
Hey, is he any relation to this guy with no arms and no legs I saw in a ditch the other day? I think his name was Phil

They came to a town with the sign “Velcro Town” and underneath “No Strings Allowed”. Now obviously the two strings were upset by this, but they were tired and thirsty from their trek, so they go into the town anyway. They come upon a saloon, and outside the door is a sign that says “No Strings Allowed”.
One of the strings screws up his courage and walks into...

(I tried to fit this into the answers box, but it’s too long)
I’ve found a ton of people to follow from @replies to them from people I already followed. Now I don’t have the option to see those replies no matter what, even though I know what I’m getting in to.
I understand Twitter didn’t want to overwhelm new people with lots of out of context...
Jetliner
It was when I was coming
home from Cincinnati, sitting
alone in the back of the car,
thinking about how much one airport
looks like every other airport.
I saw it out the window, glimmering, shining,
floating high in the air, almost stationary.
Bright aluminum reflecting the sunlight,
hanging in space for such a long time,
dazzling in spite of itself.

I regret to write that Jamie Leigh Dyer Dordek, known to many of us as yellowsuitcase and @jamield, passed away on Sunday. Her death appears to be related to a blood clot from her fall in Ireland.
This news was passed to me on Sunday evening, and I still cannot entirely process it. She and I became fast friends on the internet. We have no exact memory of when or how we connected on...
