The guy I really hate:
Andrew Keen. What a douchenozzle.
Doing a bunch of reading on censorship and Google and whatever for class, and what’s going on here is that I hate people. These articles are just making me angry, because half the guys they’re talking to are like “well, if it’s not what I think people should recognize as appropriate/good/whateverthefuck, IT SHOULDN’T BE.” Um. No.

“It was a shocking thing to say and I knew it was a shocking thing to say. But no one has the right to live without being shocked. No one has the right to spend their life without being offended. Nobody has to read this book. Nobody has to pick it up. Nobody has to open it. And if you open it and read it, you don’t have to like it. And if you read it and you dislike it, you don’t have to remain silent about it. You can write to me, you can complain about it, you can write to the publisher, you can write to the papers, you can write your own book. You can do all those things, but there your rights stop. No one has the right to stop me writing this book. No one has the right to stop it being published, or bought, or sold or read. That’s all I have to say on that subject.”
—Philip Pullman

However I think it would kill my grandmother and maybe my aunt would stop buying me food and letting me basically live at her house during school breaks, so.
DO YOU THINK BEING LOVED BY A CAT CREATURE IS ALL FUN AND GAMES AND RAINBOWS OUT THE BUTT AND CUDDLES? WRONG.
BEING LOVED BY A CAT IS HAVING TO PRETEND THAT YOU LIKE THE EVISCERATED CORPSES OF RODENTS LEFT IN THE DOORWAY TO YOUR BEDROOM BECAUSE SAID CAT LEFT IT AS A PRESENT JUST FOR YOU AND IS TERRIBLY PROUD OF IT
THAT’S LOVE, TUMBLR. YOU’RE WELCOME.
“You may want ‘your country back,’ but you can’t have it. That sound you hear is the relentless, irrepressible march of change. Welcome to America: The Remix.”
