1,000 bucks says guys don't get emails like this
I’m not a very good female/mom because emails like this make me cringe:
“Hey there!
We are participating in a collective, constructive, and hopefully TASTY experiment. As such, you have been invited to be part of a recipe exchange concept. We hope you will participate. We have picked those we think would make this fun. Please send a recipe to the person whose name is in position 1...

journalofajournalist:
I don’t care what your politics are, but that headline is pure genius. Also… Alabama three-way? That’s got to be like a regular three-way, but with barbecue involved somehow.
Haha. But watch it - I was born in Alabama. If you’re gonna do something Alabama style, it probably involves biscuits and gravy.

WatchMy old hood - and bus route - immortalized in this new song by Mount Pleasant (DC) musician René Moffatt. The song is kind of Jason Mraz-y (catchy and saccharine), but it is kind of a fun video to watch if you have any DC roots.

I love #5 - “iktsuarpok” (Inuit)
For lonely people eager to find new ways to express their loneliness, there is a new word that perfectly sums up the feeling of waiting for someone who, as time goes on, you realize probably isn’t coming. We’ve all been guilty of “iktsuarpok” at one point or another, whether it’s waiting for a prom date or waiting for a...

End of the month
A few people have contacted me today out of concern for my whereabouts. An example:
“You haven’t Tumblrd in hours. Are you ok?”
I am, in fact, ok. But it’s the end of the month, so that means that I’m crunching hard on work. See, I work on quotas. So I have to finish up a certain number of articles per month. It sucks, but that’s how things are right now....

Wonklife: President Obama as an alien →
They say that President Obama is a Muslim, but if he isn’t, he’s a secularist who is waging war on religion. On some days he’s a Nazi, but on most others he’s merely a socialist. His especially creative opponents see him as having a “Kenyan anti-colonial worldview,” while the less adventurous…

And now a Tumblr question
Just noticed that some of my blogs that I update with feeds are no longer updating. Did Tumblr turn off RSS feeds on all blogs recently? I’m not a huge fan of using RSS feeds for Tumblr, but I did like the convenience of feeding my articles into a Tumblog.
Update: Thanks, Matt and Goldman. I was just checking if it was just me. They must have nixed it about 2 months ago because...

Facebook question
Weird to be asking on here, I know. But I’m trying to figure out how I can manage who can and can’t add me as a friend. I’ve tweaked the settings but I keep getting requests from people completely unknown to me.
If someone subscribes to my public updates, does that automatically mean they’ve added me as a “friend?” I don’t really care if people subscribe...
