This Campaign Defies Censorship In Social Media To Raise Awareness For Early Detection Of Breast Cancer

There's a reason the state starts by going after the people you refuse to respect

I like haunted houses in theory BUT I have no idea how to react when the actors speak to you. They ask me a question and I just… answer it…

The scariest part of a haunted house is the unscripted social interaction.

So, I found out a fun fact this last weekend!

Every state has a Department of Weights and Measures. One of their jobs is to make sure that companies are actually selling you the quantities they claim they're selling. For example, this is the department which tests gas pumps and makes sure they're really pumping out a gallon of gas when they charge you for a gallon of gas.

So....

If you happen to, just as an example, notice that your 1lb (16 ounce) box of San Giorgio spaghetti actually only has 10oz of noodles, and you weigh your other boxes of spaghetti to discover they run from 10 to 14 ounces but never the full pound they're supposed to have, and that's why you never seem to have enough pasta for leftovers the next day, then you can report that to the Department of Weights and Measures.

They will want to know where you bought the item, and then will investigate whether the store or the manufacturer is routinely shorting customers. If they do, they will issue a fine to the offending party, you will be eligible for a refund, and under some circumstances lawsuits may follow.

Now, I don't know the outcome of the complaint I just initiated, but they did not want to know specific receipts or times of purchase. Which is good for me as I didn't keep any of those things, at the time I just said "Wow, fuck San Giorgio" and switched brands. But this is still enough to get an inspector out.

This is craziest to me because when John announced he couldn't sign any more books, I started seeking out signed copies of the holes in my collection of John Green books.

I find it absolutely hilarious that the signed edition of everything is tuberculosis costs five dollars less than the unsigned version.

I should sign all the egg cartons. I'd end inflation by myself.

ive never been able to understand why people ship giles and buffy... i know to me and to many other people he's like a father figure to her, and this is stated at the end of "helpless" when he's getting fired! shipping them feels so odd and strange to me. even if the father-daughter relationship didn't exist there's still the fact that giles has known buffy since she was 16, and he's been an adult that entire time. i guess i can understand why people like that kind of older/younger taboo but personally for me it just weirds me out and i don't get it 💔

:D ❤

I hope we all realise just how special this time between Good Omens season 2 and season 3 is. We are all here together, creating fanfics, suggesting theories both big and small, spotting “Clues”, and supporting each other through it all. I am looking forward to season 3 immensely, but am enjoying this gap in the story - watching all the creative minds produce stunning artwork and stories, and the detectives brilliantly breaking down every morsel of what we have already seen. It is a wonderful time to be in this fandom. It is such an unique story, written and created by very talented authors, and performed by some of the best actors of our time, who are perfect for the roles. It will probably never come again, so enjoy it whilst it lasts!
