Keep it Fluid

“Will the new guidance make it harder for writers? Perhaps just a bit at first. But while labels may be more facile, they are not accurate.”

—

The Associated Press’ reasoning (in a nutshell) for officially dropping the term “illegal immigrant” from the AP Stylebook on Tuesday. Official AP style now calls for writers to specifically state that a person(s) is living in a given location illegally, rather than referring to the person(s) themselves as being illegal. source (via shortformblog)

Finally, finally, finally. At various places where I’ve worked, I’ve had to correct people on the use of “illegals” and “illegal immigrants.” A person cannot be illegal.

“There might be a lot of women in your life who are mean to you, but that’s just women not liking you personally. Women are allowed to not like you personally, just like you are allowed to not like us personally. It’s not misandry, it’s mis-Kevin-dry. Or, you know, whoever you are. It is not built into our culture or codified into law, and you can rest assured that most women you encounter are not harboring secret, latent, gendered prejudices against Kevins that could cost you a job or an apartment or your physical sanctity. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t isolated incidents wherein mean women hurt men on purpose. But it is not a systemic problem that results in the mass disenfranchisement of men.”

Molly Thomas is a performer and writer living in New York who has developed an awesomely silly hobby. When she isn’t performing at the Upright Citizens Brigade, she’s dressing up her roommate Mick Bleyer like a baby and perfectly recreating baby photos for a funny and impressively good-natured project entitled My Precious Roommate.

From the Department of Awesome Cuteness (and just in time for Easter!) come these debilitatingly cute photos of an adorable pit bull terrier named Boom having a spring day frolic with a fuzzy chick and an entire basket of baby bunnies.

If you’ve just realized that you can’t stop smiling, don’t worry, neither can we.

Some random screencaps of Salem I took while watching all seven seasons of Sabrina: The Teenage Witch.

He might be the greatest television character in history.

I’d watch that show too much as a kid and I would always get sad and feel disappointed because he wasn’t real.

He IS real.
