”And if a woman should say she doesn’t want to have children at all, the world is apt to go decidedly peculiar: ‘Ooooh, don’t speak too soon,’ it will say - as if knowing whether or not you’re the kind of person who desires to make a whole other human being in your guts, out of sex and food, then have the rest of your life revolve around its welfare, is a breezy, ‘Hey - whevs’ decision. Like electing to have a picnic on an unexpectedly sunny day or changing the background picture on your desktop. ‘When you meet the right man, you’ll change your mind, dear,’ the world will say, with an odd, aggressive smugness.
- Caitlin Moran, “How to Be a Woman” (via Buffy Plays With Demons)
so many people have said this to me already that i’ve practically accepted it as an unavoidable fact that at some point in my mid-30s all my physical and emotional desires will be steamrollered by the overwhelming urge to cook a squishy little parasite in my womb before spending the next two decades moulding it into a functional human.

I loathe this reaction, and I think part of the reason why is that I’m really afraid that the world will turn out to be right.

Cards Against Humanity is a party game for horrible people.
Unlike most of the party games you’ve played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends.
The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card.
And it is distributed under a Creative Commons license, meaning it is not only free to play, but remixing, and changing the game are more than just encouraged.The official hard copy has been sold out for a while now, but a PDF of all the cards, and instructions distributed by the creators for making your own deck can be found here.
You’re welcome, and enjoy!
Guys. GUYS.

How did I reach the point in my life where my happiness hinges on the relationship between three portly middle-aged English motoring journalists?
I’ve reached the point in my life where I basically ask myself this question daily. So glad I’m not alone.

It’s all a lot funnier when you only have a basic grasp of German.
This will keep me laughing out of the blue for at least three days. It’s one of the most brilliant memes that the internet has spilled out lately.
Starting the weaponry day right.

She was a glamorous movie star of the 1930s and ’40s, a taboo-breaking beauty who is credited with simulating the first on-screen orgasm (and also appearing nude) in a 1933 film called Ecstasy.
But Hedy Lamarr was a trailblazer in more ways than one: Fascinated by science and eager to find a way to help the Allies during World War II, Lamarr came up with a way to make radio signals jump between frequencies, and thus prevent the signals from becoming jammed. After Lamarr and a partner obtained a patent for the invention in 1942, she gave it — at no charge — to the U.S. Navy, which began using it in the 1960s. Today, Lamarr’s breakthrough is used in technology like the Bluetooth wireless device.
Hot Hollywood BAMF.
Also, she has the world’s most perfectly shaped lips.
