this is the money spock. reblog within the next 30 seconds and he will bring you good fortune ✨💸✨
So I’m just saying. I put this in my queue yesterday and today I was offered a raise that is literally life-changing, $10,000 more a year than I’m making now.
Was it Money Spock? Who can say, but wow I sure believe.
C’mon Mr. Spock! Send good fortune my way!!
This is most illogical, Captain.
Okay the alien ween deserves a reblog
“Welcome,” she said. “Welcome, and thank you for agreeing to be a volunteer with Multnomah County Libraries. We are so grateful for you and your commitment to our community. For the next hour, we’re going to go over some important information that you need to know as a volunteer, no matter what role you play.” I expected that we were going to learn about things like policies for canceling our shifts, or maybe where to find first aid kits. We probably did talk about those things. But the part that I remember most vividly is the first thing she talked about. “We’re going to start with the Library Bill of Rights from the American Library Association,” she said, and she projected the text of the document onto the screen. “Everyone who works for libraries, including volunteers, helps to support and uphold the Library Bill of Rights.” This was new to me. I’d been a regular patron at my local public library for years, graduating from Dr. Seuss to The Babysitters Club series to, most recently, my fixation on books about neo-paganism and queer sex. No one had mentioned this whole Bill of Rights thing. It was a short document with just a few bullet points. “Libraries support free access to information,” Bess explained. “One of our core values is intellectual freedom. This impacts all of you because when you’re volunteering for the library, we expect you to support the rights of library users to find and read whatever they want, even if you don’t agree with what they’re looking for.” She continued, “For example, let’s say that a small child came up to you and asked where to find the Stephen King books. You might think those books are too scary for someone that age, or that he shouldn’t be reading that kind of stuff. But that doesn’t matter. No matter what, we help people find the information they want, and we don’t censor their interests. Does that make sense?” Heads around the room nodded, and I leaned back into the wall, letting her words sink in. It was absolutely, positively the most radical, punk rock thing I had ever heard in my life. I can read whatever I want. No one can stop me. I can help other people read what they want. And no one can stop them. “This is core,” Bess added, “to a functioning democracy. We believe that fighting censorship and providing free, unrestricted access is key to helping citizens participate in the world. And, most importantly, we keep everyone’s information strictly confidential. So, even if you know what books your neighbor is checking out or what they’re looking at on the computer, you don’t share that with anyone.” As someone who kept carefully guarded notebooks full of very personal thoughts, I was especially excited by the library’s emphasis on privacy. All of this sounded great. I wanted more. I wanted in. I wanted to be a crazy, wild, counterculture librarian-witch who would help anyone read anything from The Anarchist’s Cookbook to Mein Kampf. I would be a bold freedom fighter in the face of censorship. I would defend unfiltered Internet access and anatomically correct picture books. Maybe I was only in the eighth grade, but I was ready to stand up to anyone who tried to threaten the ideal of intellectual freedom. Fuck blink-182. Libraries were the real punk rock.

“Paper towns” of the Roman Empire. The caption of each image has a link to its source, which is the subreddit /r/papertowns. They are constantly sharing more awesome illustrated maps of cities, and not just Roman ones.
I love how these paper towns really give you a flavor for ancient urban life. I can imagine myself walking through the streets, attending plays at the amphitheater, congregating the forum to hear a speech, or boarding a ship in the harbor and sailing off to the next city. Also, these should be great references for whenever I find the time to run a Greco-Roman D&D campaign.
For quick reference, the cities here are (in order):
Constantinople (duh)
Vindobala (fort on Hadrian’s Wall)
Pompeii (RIP)
Tarraco (modern Tarragona)
Tergeste (modern Trieste)
Augusta Raurica (modern Basel)
Aquae Sulis (modern Bath)
Segedunum (fort on Hadrian’s Wall)
Barcino (modern Barcelona)
Lutetia (modern Paris)
This is so relatable, I’m dying.

Ghostbusters vs masculinity's downranking campaign against "women's" movies and TV
Last spring, Five Thirty-Eight’s Walt Hickey published analysis of the IMDB ratings of women-oriented entertainment (like Sex in the City), showing that the ratings for these shows were artificially depressed because men went out of their way to give them extremely low scores.
The new Ghostbusters movie has been the subject of an orchestrated campaign by sad manbabies – who are themselves expertly and hilariously skewered in the movie – who’ve given it over 13,000 1-star ratings on IMDB as of this writing. This is just the tip of the iceberg: Leslie Jones, the film’s black star, was hounded off of Twitter by a sustained attack of vile, racist, sexist attacks orchestrated by Breitbart writer and Gamergate cult-of-personality leader Milo Yiannopoulos (Twitter has now permanently barred Yiannopoulos from the service).
But as overt as these attacks are, the downranking campaigns may have a longer-lasting impact, lowering the film’s profile on recommendation engines and costing it residuals down the line. It doesn’t help that China, the world’s second-largest film market, has blocked the film for unspecific reasons that have been variously attributed to its supernatural themes (a taboo among politburo censors), its gay themes (ditto), and the lack of popularity of the earlier two movies in China.
Shortly before the movie’s release, Hickey looked at the early numbers on IMDB, finding that 12,000 people had already rated it. The raters were overwhelmingly male (5:1), and, on average, scored Ghostbusters 4 points lower than woman reviewers. He uses this as a jumping-off point to demonstrate just how weird, inconsistent, easily gamed and meaningless movie-ratings scores are online.
My family went to see Ghostbusters last night. We laughed ourselves silly, and our 8-year-old daughter can’t stop talking about it. It was fantastically, hilariously funny, deliciously spooky, and filled with pointed subtext about the whiny dudes who can’t stand the idea that women might be represented onscreen. I ordered two Jillian Holtzmann action-figures (one for the kid, one for me) on the way home (they’re sold out now, though you can buy one from a scalper at a 200% markup.
Conveniently enough, seeing Ghostbusters is both a wonderful way to spend a couple hours, and a way to strike a blow against the worst people on the internet.
