Your shadow-self is out there, somewhere, lurking. It wears your face but it is NOT you; do not become confused. You will need to identify where it hides and hunt it down. Use a sharp knife and carry salt with you at all times. The heart can be eaten, but at a price.

The 2013 icons were the best. Everything before was amateur, everything since overthought. Not that I’m an Office user… I’m just sayin.

Fluid forms, vibrant colors - Microsoft Design

OK, help me out here, Jazz fans. Listen to "Oh! Oh! Here He Comes" from Fat Albert Rotunda by Herbie Hancock. Listen to Buster Williams' bass part. Is he having a stroke or something? How did that track make it on the album? Am I crazy? Because to me it sounds like he was playing bass with his feet.

It is incredibly difficult to get folks to understand that there are literally 20-30 people in DC who could end all of this tomorrow, & all of them are Republicans in Congress, & no one in the National Conversation seems interested in paying attention to that.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

I'm a fan of the StandBy feature for iPhones that lets you use the phone as basically a fancy clock when charging in landscape orientation on a magnet thing. Very cool. I have two "chargers" and I just realized it actually remembers the settings for each. Kind of an impressive detail.
