Lazy Sunday: 31 March

Posted on March 31, 2025 | Leave a comment

Happy Easter, if you’re doing that today. Happy Day-Before-Half-Priced-Chocolates if you aren’t. Enjoy these either way.

  • Do I need a $200 padded bra dryer? Maybe.
  • The Culture Kitchen didn’t make it, but as Good points out, this would be easily reproduced in many, many places. Let’s do it, shall we?
  • Foppish boys, ignore the mean comments! 2013 is the Year of the Well-Dressed Man!
  • Again from the New York Times blog, but this time about antiquarian books in Canada.
  • I am not going to complain in April. Join me! I’m serious.
  • I have a low-grade permacrush on Rob Lowe and a serious-business hatred of the word “literally” so I don’t know what to do with this.
  • Hello, youth of France? Are you okay? I’m worried.
  • Oh, I just…I…yes. This. Trip Advisor, you’re on notice, I guess.
  • Mississippi, my former home, is like a trashy cousin. I can make fun of her, but if you do, I will gut you like a fish. Leave me alone, The Onion.
  • Short and excellent fiction. FO FREE FIFTY.
  • This sums up most of my unreasonable fears pretty nicely.

Read away, babies.

I think the guy on the right may be my real dad. Mom, please advise. (via Slate.com)

Check out these amazing photographs of tourists from the 80s and early 90s. I definitely spotted some stuff that I owned circa then. I’m not sure why I find this whole thing so touching, but it’s definitely worth a quick look midday.

Lazy Sunday: 24 March

Posted on March 24, 2025 | 1 comment

I’m on vacation still, so I’m leaving you these things to read in my absence:

  • When I’m hideously rich, all my presents will come from here, so begin currying favor with me right now.
  • I disagree with the fatshaming they’re doing with these ads, I DO agree that soda is really, really bad for you, and not all of them are like that. Your thoughts?
  • North Korea hates Hillary Clinton.
  • I’m not surprised by this, but also unnerved that Google knows all kinds of stuff about me.
  • Kate Moss is reads (kinda NSFW).
  • BEFORE THEY WERE STARS: JD SALINGER AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN HIM BEFORE.
  • Kids from around the world have neatly organized their favorite things. Please look.
  • How to spot the ax murderer in your book club.
  • If you don’t read Anne Helen Petersen‘s Scandals of Classic Hollywood, you’re doing yourself a disservice.
  • The romantic comic book anthropologist’s blog is back!

So, what are you reading this weekend?

Lazy Sunday: 17 March

Posted on March 17, 2025 | 1 comment

Weekly things of interest for ya! I’m about to hop on a plane, so post the things I should read in the comments!

  • I’m not sure if this means I should or should not try roller derby.
  • What will the replacement to the car be? Who knows, but it’s probably already staring us in the face.
  • How do you explain to a five-year-old where particulate matter comes from?
  • Food is actually too inexpensive and this is a problem.
  • This is a heartening development to me. Evolution is real, everyone. That’s science.
  • Feminist parenting, hacking, and video games meet and it is awesome.
  • The greatest thing since sliced bread.
  • This makes me uncomfortable but I also want to know what they know about me. And what they know about everyone I know, of course.
  • Let’s all learn to read tarot cards. Or, wait, no, I’ll learn how to read tarot cards and then do your reading.
  • An oldie but a goodie from the Believer.
  • Women, be kinder to other women. Men, be kinder to women. This holds a mirror up to that in a way that should make you uncomfortable.
  • Book burning and a better life.

I am kind of turned off by ruin photography, but I do wonder something about this: where are these houses? Do any of these look familiar to you?

Do they make rubber bracelets for people who can’t stop eating peanut butter cups?

If so, please consider donating to the fund to continue my habit. If not, look at this lady who uncovers frauds who get people to actually do what I just described (i.e., give money to strangers who pretend to have diseases but are actually just fine). The fact that this exists only furthers my fascination with Munchausen’s by Internet, which started with this article.
