This continuing Amanda Bynes saga is like watching a modern-day Hamlet.

NOOOOOO WHY AM I FLYING TO LA TOMORROW MORNINGLibrarian Mission District Bar Crawl
Hey bookslingers, tumblarians, twitterbrarians, assorted MLIS students, and other information professionals: do you live in the Bay Area? Can you arrive in San Francisco’s Mission District between 6:00pm and 7:00pm tomorrow night, May 25?
The Information Amateurs Social Club is organizing a northward crawl of the Mission in search of cocktails, tacos, ice cream and anything else this thriving neighborhood has to offer. We’ll gather at the starting point — Iron & Gold — at 6:00, and once an hour has passed we’ll start the march.
Come on out and join us. Strangers are welcome. I look like this guy, minus the beard. Let me know you’re coming, and I’ll message you my number so you can find us if we’re walking.RSVP via Facebook or DM me on tumblr »>

Nichelle Nichols (Uhura on the original series):”Whoopi Goldberg, she’s just marvellous. I had no way of knowing that she was a Star Trek fan. When I finally met her it was her first year on the Next Generation.
She loved the show so much and she told her agent she wants a role on Star Trek. Well agents go ‘Big screen, little screen, no, you can’t do that’. Well you can’t tell Whoopi ‘You can’t do that’.
And so they finally asked, and they had the same reaction at Star Trek office, specifically Gene. And she said, ‘I want to meet him and I want him to tell me to my face. If he tells me he doesn’t want me and why, I’ll be fine.’
Knowing Gene he had to take that challenge, and so he met with her. She said, ‘I just wanted you to tell me why you don’t want me in Star Trek.’
Gene said, ‘Well, I’ll just ask you one question and I’ll make my decision on that. You’re a big screen star, why do you want to be on a little screen, why do you want to be in Star Trek?’
And she looked at him and she said, ‘Well, it’s all Nichelle Nichols’ fault.’
That threw him, he said, ‘What do you mean?’
She said, ‘Well when I was nine years old Star Trek came on,’ and she said, ‘I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, “Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television and she ain’t no maid!”’ And she said, ‘I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be, and I want to be on Star Trek.’
And he said, ‘I’ll write you a role.’

this has been said a billion times but people who get weird about girls having body hair need to reevaluate their perception of reality? like i think you’re thinking of dolphins? you’re definitely looking for a dolphin. that’s gross

I just really really really like being alive every single day, even when things are stressful or stupid. And I feel I’m allowed to say something that soppy considering the nearly two decades of darkness I lived through.
I’m having breakfast in the Castro and basking in all the fabulousness before I fly to Angryoldwhitemanville tomorrow.
I still have to return that laptop sleeve to the Apple store. I don’t like going to the Apple store. The people are too helpful, and sometimes they’re attractive, and sometimes it seems like they’re kind of into me—until I tell them I don’t want to buy whatever it is they’re showing me. And then they walk away and another one comes up, smiling, and THE CYCLE CONTINUES.
Shopping should not entail that much perceived rejection.
Nailed it.
I WISH I COULD EXPRESS TO YOU HOW HARD I AM LAUGHING AT THIS AND I CAN’T STOP OH GOD HELP MEEEEEE LSDKFJLDSKJFLKDSJFAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAAHAHAHADYYYYING/GROSSSOBBING/LAUGHING/SNORTING
