What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.

Deal-Makers Your Guy Should Have

From Keltie Colleen:

You know what us fun? Making lists.

I had an epic conversation with a friend of mine, and it got me thinking. She just broke up with a guy and she was focusing on all his flaws, and things she wouldn’t do wrong again. I thought it would be a super fun exercise for all the people in and out of relationships to create “dealmakers”- Ie. the things that your dream swoon worthy dude has. (for me, I wanted someone really tall. I also wanted someone who didn’t make me feel crazy, even though I am.)

I spent ALOT of time coming up with these dealmakers, and these are things that I truly believe every single lady should have on their list, but feel free to add your own. I left the checkboxes empty so that you can go through and make sure to check them off!

Let me know how it goes!

WIL WHEATON dot TUMBLR: Neil Gaiman: I think this is what I'm most comfortable posting on Tumblr about Kony

neil-gaiman:

When I posted the #Kony2012 link on Twitter, a LOT of people sent me this. I’d already felt uncomfortable RTing something that called for direct military action, and this solidified my discomfort.
