Nikita, 25, am not necessarily evil but have an evil-sounding name, more trouble than I'm worth, and strongly inclined toward the absurd, the lovely, the pointless, and the old & British.

A one-girl heavily tattooed crew of cavalier cooks.

Oxford comma for life!

❝Many people believe geekdom is defined by a love of a thing, but I think — and my experience of geekdom bears on this thinking — that the true sign of a geek is a delight in sharing a thing. It’s the major difference between a geek and a hipster, you know: When a hipster sees someone else grooving on the thing they love, their reaction is to say “Oh, crap, now the wrong people like the thing I love.” When a geek sees someone else grooving on the thing they love, their reaction is to say “ZOMG YOU LOVE WHAT I LOVE COME WITH ME AND LET US LOVE IT TOGETHER.❞
-

John Scalzi in an excellent piece about sexism within geek culture, who’s allowed to be a geek (spoiler alert: it’s anyone who wants to be), and what being a respectable geek means.  (via thereisnosaintellen)

This is a good definition because it deliberately excludes the assholes who believe in fake geek girls

So.  Blizzards in Wisconsin. 

Kind of different than the Rocky Mountain kind.

Everything is wet.  And white. And oh my god I was supposed to go in and open the store this morning, but, uh, frankly, I drive a very small Hyundai, and I don’t want to die for this job.

I will save my near-death experiences for, you know, when I’m cooking on a boat in the South Pacific, and writing my Bourdain-style travelogue.

But not for a taco shop.

Staying home.  Everyone stays home today.

Forget that No Doubt video ever existed, watch world champ hoop dancer Nakotah Larance in Geronimo (The Knocks and Fred Falke).  Then read Adrienne K. talk about Nelly Furtado’s Big Hoops over at Native Appropriations, which is a really good blog.
