Fuckin’ PLAITING A BLOOD-RED LOVE KNOT, INTO HER LONG BLACK HAIR.
Yeah. Yeah.
Also, if you try to remember the words, you WILL mistakenly graft in “The Raven” at some point. You totally will.
All of these things.

thedecemberists:
Not that anyone actually expects cohesive and interesting articles from the Phoenix, anyway.
(Though, to be fair, the Decemberists were sort of the driving force behind me getting my MFA…)
Yeah, I definitely don’t think whoever wrote this article knew what kind of tone they were going for. It reminded me of a paper I wrote in college that I didn’t have a solid...

Erin Gets Excited About Miss America
Erin: YES! That! That is how you do point! With fucking hard shoes! With TAPS!

morganhp replied to your post: Regarding the quote about double spacing after periods:
As a Chicago style girl, I have to agree with the quote; mostly though I respect anyone willing to take a stance on such a preferential grammatical nuance (Oxford comma anyone?)
Fair enough.
I was tempted to discuss the Oxford comma there, but I chose not to, since I am even more strongly in...

spacecowboywhit:
‘Machine guns’ are already banned (with a few exceptions).
The weapon used in this shooting was a handgun. Not an overly large or fast one. One that is used by 2.5 milllion law enforcement officials, soldiers, and civilians in over 100 countries around the world.
I also keep reading that the Assualt Weapon Ban that expired included this gun. Wrong again. High capacity...
