the elements of clunk: the end of grammar as we know it.
why western authors are in love with mother russia: the short answer is, post-soviet emigration exodus.
EVERYBODY READ THIS RIGHT NOW: on prisons, borders, safety, and privilege: an open letter to white feminists: "I wonder again: What is your feminism *for*? If it is for disruption and redistribution of power across society (i.e., not just for women like you), it cannot be so ignorant of, exploitative of, and even counter to the prison-abolition and immigrants' rights movements -- not only because marginalized women are involved in and affected by those struggles, but because they are where some of the most significant challenges to power are being made today."
- "Authority is not given to you to deny the return of the king, steward."
- seriously, the club tried to save face by calling it a mutual agreement, don't condemn yourself further by letting fly a parthian shot. it's not necessary and you have egg on your face. I am very sad not to have been able to put my stamp on the squad, to be given the time to bring new players into the club in this transfer window and to have been able to be part of the rebuilding process. because you weren't given license to make any signings over the summer???? to treat the players as you saw fit? stop. passing. the. buck.
- i thought i was downloading the bolton match but it turned out to be wigan. which turned out to be good, because martin kelly is a legend. oops i used the wrong tense. martin kelly will be a legend. which is not to say that he should start over glen right now, it's just that this was only his second premier league start and him and szczesny ought to start a "baptism by fire" facebook group.
- comm: "and it looks like kuyt will get it (get in?)." this is accurate. i am just saying.
- i love lucas. almost as much as i love cafune
- old trafford tomorrow kekekeke. idk how to feel about this. i expect epic things from our boys. i expect kenny's tactics and team selection to be picked to pieces and then regurgitated so MOTD can have another go at him. i expect the away kop to sing sweet caroline. i expect that the first time raul scores for us, i will cry like a baby.
- who is watching sociedad-sevilla this afternoon with me?? i might fall asleep but i've set my alarm for 4pm so i don't miss barça.
thoughts on having a life
- my milanista gave me an outlet converter thing for my iTouch (previously i'd had to charge it on my computer). this of course would occur the day after i lost my iTouch.
- my milanista hasn't watched a milan match since 2005. i am willing to take one for the team and drag him back into footie but should i take him to a bar? i've heard bad things about how women are treated in bars during soccer games.
- hahaha this was supposed to be non-football related stuff woops.
- i need to get another job.
- should i save up to buy a computer (possibly a macbook - undecided at this point) or buy an android next week? my phone is pre-pleistocene and the data package on it consists of ... texting. that's it.
- things i am reading + things you should read:
