Secret History: In 1940, an English golf club... →
Some people take their golf extraordinarily seriously. One such group of die-hards were the proprietors of the Richmond Golf Club in Surrey, England, who drafted an interim set of rules explaining what players must do should Nazi aircraft bomb the greens mid-game. These darkly demure guidelines…

An art teacher articulately writes what most... →
everyfiredies:
This almost brought tears to my eyes. It’s so painful to listen to the public hate on teachers when I work my ass off every day at a job that most people I meet raise their eyebrows at and say, “I could never handle that job.”
“So guess what; I am rich, you miserable, bitter harpies. But you have it all wrong. Just because your job sucks and you can’t wait to get out...

Sensory Mixtape →
So here’s my (new) other tumblr. Sensory Mixtape will be focused on more personal things such as places I’ve been, things I’ve done, and the food I make (and eat, so much eaten). Probably the occasional emotional dumping disguised as a smart commentary on some important topic in the world - or not. So while I’ll have this one, I hope you’ll follow me over there as...

Sylvie Kim: ‘The Voice’ of the Not-Just-White... →
sylvie-kim:
NBC’s reality singing competition The Voice could have been born under a bad sign. It premiered in the late spring not long after the underwhelming and cornball finale of the flagging American Idol juggernaut (I will never get over winner Scotty McCreery’s obligatory “championship”…

When people tell me I look younger than my age
sex-forbreakfast:
I normally take it as a complement as I think inside, that’s right, I’ll still look young when I’m old and then I won’t worry as much as half the world does about how they look. Plus, it means they don’t know anything about me and I’m fine with that.

After all, a gay person pointed out in...

sarvanattar:
Someone expresses their rage by typing “FUCCCCCKKKKKKK,” and all you can think is, “You can’t lengthen plosives! WHY DIDN’T YOU JUST USE EXTRA VOWELS?”
But if you lengthen plosives, you can read it as “fuck-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k” and it sounds like an insect making a weird clicky sound! :D
I like the word “plosive”.
I’ve thought this many a time.
