To suppose that the infected could so rapidly marshal their body’s resources in the service of tentacles with no obvious, immediate utility? This seems without logic.
Who even won Eurovision 2015? Sweden? Okay, I guess that was fine, but it just sounded like the sort of song that one of the background bands would cover in Pitch Perfect.
Whenever I go to trade shows or industry events, I’m shocked at how solidly, stubbornly pink the women’s outdoor gear options are, even gear for truly extreme sports. Women’s gear often lacks features that are available for men—and for some sports, equipment isn’t available in women’s sizes at all.
I had been taking Citalopram for ten years when I decided to take a break. At 18, I was diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, a constant and persistent sense of worry about everyday things. I think of GAD as inchoate and needy, willing to attach itself to any normal set of circumstances regardless of whether there is actually a threat.
The post office was central to the life of our village in the 1950s. It stood right at the corner where the main street took a sharp bend, and from its front steps, you could see down one way past the jeweller’s and the dry goods store as far as the Felt Boot Factory, and down the other past cars and buggies parked in front of the telephone exchange, the Five-and-Dime, and the blacksmith.
As Friend of the Toast Ben G. put it, "It's like when you see a very old man wearing a skintight Abercrombie and Fitch hoodie. The contrast is really something else."
When my family and I light joss sticks, prepare food offerings, and burn paper gifts (mostly replicas of clothes, houses, and cars) for our ancestors in return for blessings such as wealth and good health, it has always seemed to me that what we do approaches worship not so much as it does a highly pragmatic, reciprocal relationship tempered by remembered bonds of love and affection.
Aries:
Think about your desires, this month, in so many different forms, but all of them warm and alive. Think of the ones that burn brighter than the rest, the ones that could burn a hole right through you, the ones that exist on a different plane. Think of the ones that feel truest. Think of the ones that keep you awake at night.
