I keep seeing these reblogged “Act like a lady, think like a man” images, or some variation thereof. And I can’t help but remark on how misogynistic that sounds to me. Am I the only one who feels this way? It’s the same thing I’ve been saying about feminism for years. It tries to puts women on the level of men, but ends up downgrading women in the process. For...

Just reached 200 followers! Thanks for the support, y’all! It means a lot to me. Heh, it’s funny, I think I have more people following me on here than I have friends on Facebook. I’m very introverted in person, so it’s hard for me to meet new people in the real world. If only I knew some of you guys in real life!
Anyway, thanks again! Hope you have a great weekend!...

Two or three chapters away from finishing The Killer Angels. Really great book (thanks to Sydney for the recommendation!).
Heavenly is watching Ghost Adventures in the background, a show I think is really silly, but they’re actually doing an episode on the battlefield of Gettysburg right now. Strange.

What a beautiful day it is today. It’s still winter, but it feels like high spring. And on a Friday, too. I couldn’t ask for more.

“Don’t ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up.” — G.K. Chesterton
Tonight I’m reminded of the truth behind this in a really painful way.

the-fanny asked: hey there. I love many of the pictures that you post here. They make me pretty homesick. I was born and raised in Georgetown and since we georgetonians are dwellers of the intercoastal I was wondering if I could submit the occasional picture for your blog. I know it isn't charleston but despite the sad sights and smells of the paper and steel mills, georgetown has a lot of history and beauty....

At the oyster roast I went to tonight, the wind blew a paper cup out of someone’s hand. After he bent down to pick it up again, an old guy who I did not know walked by and patted him on the back, and said, “Hash tag wind, huh?”

Apparently I have a neurological condition called synesthesia. Specifically, I have the variety known as grapheme–color synesthesia. I got chills when I read about it just now; I never knew there was anything unusual about seeing letters and numbers this way at all.

Congratulations! Could you tell us the names of the first two?
Thanks! They’re not published or anything yet, so you would never be able to find them at a bookstore (either online or an actual shop), but I hope to one day get published. The first one, that I always say I’ll never let anyone read,...
