Is it just a weird glitch where tumblr unfollows people? I feel so rude when I go to follow someone I know I was following before. Clearly I put too much thought into it.

I bought a canary melon the other day
Simply because I had never heard of it before. I want to cut it open now. I don’t think it’s ripe yet. I’m just so curious as to how they taste. Wiki says they taste tarter than a honey-dew, kind of similar to cantaloupe (apparently they are “true cantaloupes”)

PSA: OLD BRAS
anedumacation:
snowdarkred:
If you have old bras that you don’t want anymore but are in good shape, donate them! Bras are one of the least donated and most needed items at domestic violence shelters across the US. Look up a local shelter and ask them if they’re accepting bra donations, and if they’re not, ask them who is! Check with homeless shelters and other charities!
Every year, the...

kalamazu replied to your post: Kind of worried I’m going to get screwed over by my job
what restaurant is it??
I feel like I probably shouldn’t say. I mean, if they do screw us over then I’d happily put them on blast, but they have about 13 hours to ease my paranoia. They’re a fairly new restaurant, not a Providence mainstay by any means (in case you’re worried...

As I said late Friday, my restaurant is closing. They owe me, and the beau, back pay from when we started. They owe him more, but they owe me at least a hundred dollars. And I’m hoping to pick up a letter of rec to have on file. Today is supposed to be their last day. I don’t work Thursdays, but the beau does, so he is going in today. I’m supposed to go in and pick up the backpay...

someauthorgirl replied to your post: I’m convinced the “American” accent is the easiest one to do
My friend that is British (posh Ldn accent) can nail a Southern American accent, but when he tries to do mine (Philly) or even what voice coaches call General American, it sounds ridiculous. :)
SO THERE IS A “GENERAL AMERICAN” ACCENT?! I know back in the day the Mid...

michelle-lorraine replied to your post: I’m convinced the “American” accent is the easiest one to do
Magneto wasn’t supposed to have an American accent or any particular accent. In the movie, it was shown how he was moved around a lot, and that would lend itself perfectly for his accent.
No, I know he wasn’t supposed to have an American accent, it was just never...

I’m watching House’s Swan Song. It’s Hugh Laurie talking and interviewing cast and crew intercut with scenes from the show. He is just so damn good at changing his accent.
I was talking about this with Blake over the weekend. There are so many actors from outside of the US who have pretty thick accents of their own who play Americans and just nail the accent. I can’t...

proustianrecall replied to your post: I feel like the Glee Project is kind of exploitative
It’s a bit of disability porn, as it were. “He/She’s blind but they can SING let us all be inspired by their courage!” I personally would rather that they didn’t make such a fuss over their ability, or lack thereof.
Yes! You hit the nail right on the head. All they end up doing is focusing on the...
Also, I know this is OLD NEWS but can I just say how surprised I am that the same writer/creator of Nip/Tuck is the writer/creator of Glee? And while I haven’t watched American Horror Story I’ve heard it’s good and dark. Is he just better was writing/creating for an older demographic? I don’t know if Glee is directed towards the 18-24 demographic or younger (or wider), but...

They just seem way too excited every time they have a disabled contestant. They were practically falling over themselves over the blind contestants. In the end it may be good for the contestants because it shines a light on their talent and if they win they actually get to be on TV, but the process itself and the way they carry on kind of squicks me out.

So, Netflix is down right now
At least for PCs. At least in my area? I don’t know. Either way, I cannot get my Nip/Tuck fix. I knew I should’ve watched one more episode before going to bed…
As a side note, their customer service is very nice. Or at least the woman I spoke to was.

I don’t really know the details about what’s happening, but damn does this game get me all emotional. I feel like yelling and shouting every few moments. Who knew basketball could be so interesting.
I guess I didn’t talk much about my trip to Baltimore/North Carolina. On the last evening in NC my cousin took me and his lady-friend to a sports bar to catch the tail end of the...

So is this where we talk about how black American cultural output is commodified & divorced from black Americaness? How our struggle in America to be free, to be seen as human, is often divorced from the context of what we survived & what we fight against? Can we talk about what it means to be anti Black American even if you don’t...

Hello my lovely friends,
Do any of you have experience with the law or know lawyers? I ask because I am pressing charges against the restaurant for firing me for being raped in their parking lot. I am working with an advocate group and they are providing me assistance free of charge.
The only thing is, they just sent me the charges I’m going to file and I swear to godstiel...

Even with dark hair I keep waiting for Famke Janssen to start levitating, get all veiny, and start killing people Dark Phoenix style.
The son from Nip/Tuck looks so much like Michael Jackson, it’s distracting.
I'm confused by this "Liberal Feminist Problems"...
What is it, exactly? Who runs it? Who are they trying to make fun of? Who are they trying to support?

It’s weird to see Cole cut people open or argue with his business partner. He should just use a low-level energy ball for both issues, duh.

Do I watch another episode of Nip/Tuck and not go to sleep until 4am? Or do I just close my laptop and sleep. Hmm..

Tomorrow is my last day at the restaurant
We’re closing! So, I’ve known for a couple of weeks now but I wasn’t supposed to tell anyone (even though the week after my boss told me I found out he’d been telling people even though he was the one who said it was hush-hush). It’s sad, I make pretty good money, enough to pay for the things I need to pay for and save a good amount (and I only work two days!)....
Sometimes I wish we did wear uniforms for work because I have no clue what I’m wearing today. I don’t quite feel like looking for something to wear. Partly because I’ve yet to unpack and most of my clean clothes are in a suit case still (I always overpack. Gone for 5 days? Pack clothes for two weeks!)
when folks start coming out of pocket to defend...

black women have a right to say how they are admired and respected
we have a right to our bodies and the artistic production and admiration of said production
we also have a right to say when someone’s behaviour blatantly violates those wishes or intentions for the things we create to admire and celebrate ourselves
so if there are black...
Watching Nip/Tuck for the first time. 8 minutes in to the pilot episode. I thought I knew what I was getting myself into but nope. No I did not.
