EMILY's List: An open letter to the GOP →
Dear Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, and the Republican House Caucus:
What are your priorities? I ask because, while you have talked about an economic mandate from the voters, I see instead a dangerous anti-woman agenda at work. Just look at H.R. 3. This bill includes an attempt to redefine rape, causing unspeakable harm to the one in six among us who are victims of sexual assault.

Why secondhand bookstores smell good
powells:

When made into paper and stored for years, it breaks down and smells good. Which is how divine providence has arranged for secondhand bookstores to smell like good quality vanilla absolute, subliminally stoking a hunger for knowledge in all of...

How I'm Feeling Right Now:
The semester starts tomorrow, so I’m a little overwhelmed. But excited. So excited that I may not be able to sleep. You know what that means? That means you should leave me things in the ask box I’ve yet to use. Because that could be fun. K. That’s all. Happy Spring Semester to everyone!

I know it's going to be a great semester because:
I have lots of pretty notebooks.
And highlighters. And pens.
I’m voluntarily reading for a class that as of right now doesn’t even have a syllabus or reading schedule.
Spring 2011, you are going to kick my ass. Hard. I plan on working hard, playing harder, and loving every second of it. So pumped.

I also figured out how to make an ask box. That’s exciting. I think you all should ask me things, or leave me little messages, or something. I think that could be fun. K…go.
