Taxes
At what point do people stop being successful BECAUSE of their government and start being successful IN SPITE of their government?
I thought I should share some things I’ve collected
These collections of night time Tumblr are always hilarious.

Oklahoma
Its a tragedy. But I have to say something and will probably catch a fair amount of flak for it.
They live in a tornado zone. This isn’t the first tornado to hit the area. At some point shouldn’t they move? Comedians joke about it often but really. How many times does a city need to be so severely damaged before other options become viable?
I’m just venting. It’s a terrible tragedy with no good answers for why. In a twisted way I’m glad it happened here so they will get help and be able to rebuild.

Cool! AlbinoSnowcat shared his post:
that moment when you realize you just worked on html coding, despite having no experience or instruction in the matter, and it wasn’t that difficult.

Travel
Wow. My NYC trip is really soon. I sometimes forget about trips I plan then a couple weeks beforehand all the excitement comes rushing back. This is going to be great!
Life
One of the funniest parts of Tumblr for me is the willful ignorance I see all over. So many people have “open minds” but immediately and violently shut down contrary opinions. Whether its history of the world, ethnic diversity, gender equality, or who gets the last Otter Pop.
We live in an age that allows more communication and sharing with disparate groups of people than ever before and what happens?
People close their minds. They give lip service to all the right social terms but refuse actual discussion.
Instead of seeking out opposing opinions, building bridges, and consensus they shout down opposition and “block” them from their lives.
People surround themselves only with other like minded people. It creates an echo chamber that doesn’t move anyone forward. It only reinforces whatever beliefs you hold.
Nowhere else is this more evident than a micro blog community like Tumblr.
Still. Its incredibly amusing to see it all happen before my eyes.
Because Talisa Stark is carrying the future King or Queen in the North.
what.
There’s only a few scenes I’m really looking forward to in this season and I’m hoping one of them is soon. Very soon.
