Biden facts:

First marriage had to overcome fiancees parent’s unhappiness with their daughter marrying a Roman Catholic (which they did)

His wife and baby daughter died, and both sons were injured in a crash just weeks after he was elected senator - an election in which he was the underdog, and his campaign was mostly managed by his family with little funding (1972)

Wanted to resign in order to care for his sons

For his boys’ sake he commuted an hour and a half each morning and evening to Washington DC  so he could see them everyday

Hosted barbecues and christmas dinner annually for Amtrak crews

Amtrak crews would sometimes hold the last train for a few minutes so he could catch it

Never works on December 18th, the day his wife and daughter died

after his first election as state senator for Delaware he was re-elected 6 times - usually with around 60% of the vote

May 1999 he set the mark for the youngest senator to cast 10,000 votes

Ranked as one of the least wealthy members of the senate

Was banned in 2008 from receiving Holy Communion by the bishop of his original hometown, Scranton, because of his support for abortion rights

Was caught on microphone telling Obama that signing the ACA was “a big fucking deal” during live broadcasts

Obama’s daughter Sasha and Biden’s granddaughter Maisy attended the same school together, which helped form the obama-biden friendship

Biden’s friendships on the senate floor were often instrumental in passing major legislation

In 2015 he reduced his schedule to spend more time with his son Beau, who was fighting and later died from brain cancer  

One of only 4 recipients to receive the presidential medal of freedom with distinction

Jill Biden, his wife, is only of only 2 second ladies to continue her day job

just a fucking decent dude

concept: me, a housewife, putting two lean cuisines in the microwave. i drink an entire bottle of chardonnay during the four minutes the chicken fettuccine takes to heat up. my husband walks through the door just as i place the entrée on the table. he thanks me for slaving away all day over a hot stove. i have succeed in passing the lean cuisine off as my own creation. when he’s done, i tell him im in love with our maid, helen–who bears a striking resemblance to margot robbie–and that i will see him in court. im blind drunk and jump into a 1960s pink convertible that helen is driving. we laugh about the lean cuisines.

I didn’t let a white boy in my class use a sharpie today and he said “wow looks like someone’s on their period” and his entire group of friends started laughing and I think that basically sums up the humor of a typical white boy

I got a tattoo of Casper the friendly ghost on my thigh. When I would slap it, he’d whisper the answers to my math test to me. If anyone else tried to slap it, Casper would say “not so friendly now, huh?” and then proceed to choke them.

a second chance

[glumshoe]

Use of the words ‘azure’, ‘emerald’, and ‘cerulean’ in descriptive writing make me instinctively recoil.

[deerwife]

huh, i feel like all three of those adjectives would do a good job describing orbs

[glumshoe]

þ!

A feature of English which I think is stupid,

If we’re carrying on with this game,

Is how we abolished the thorn and replaced it,

With two letters that meant the same.

The þ was a letter, amazing, astounding,

Perfect in every respect,

Representing the ‘th’ sound and shortening words,

The one thing it didn’t expect;

One day T and H went and burgled its meaning,

And then, thanks to the printing press,

Its symbol mutated and morphed into Y,

Which is pointless, I must confess.

Þoughtlessly, the þ was forgotten,

Þreatened as the language evolved,

Þankful for þose who knew of old English,

A topic where it was involved.

It only survived in Modern Icelandic,

In English it’s treated with scorn,

And as barely anyone knows it exists,

Please try to remember the thorn.

[maire-annatari]

ð!

Saving the thorn from obscurity is surely a laudable aim but if this letter deserves our praise the eth should receive the same.

The scribes of the Anglo-Saxons interchanged the eth and thorn until the first one fell from use and the second was left forlorn,

But for the modern Icelander their roles are more defined and could improve our English texts if we were so inclined.

The thorn (Þ, þ) denotes a voiceless dental fricative as in the English ‘think’ or ‘thresh’ but not the ‘th’ in ‘hither,’ whereas the eth (Ð, ð) is a voiced dental fricative perfect for ‘this’ and ‘that’ and most especially for ‘thither.’

So I propose ðey boþ be used  in the Icelandic manner; ðen students won’t be loaþ to learn our spelling and our grammar.

To þink we’ve never fixed ðis mess is really quite astounding. One letter cluster for two sounds? Ðat’s damnably confounding!

Yeah, I literally can’t hear the difference between those…

[y-la-vida-continua]

The first, your vocal chords don’t vibrate. The second, they do. :3 So you should be able to “feel” the difference.

I love it when I click on a recipe link because it sounds yummy and instead of a recipe I get a several page dissertation on a food blogger’s boredom with her marriage and lies she was told in childhood

[benepla-deactivated20180521]

this ending in a recipe literally changed my fucking life i thought i was being spread some fucking truisms abt the ugliness of marriage but it was literally a preamble to creme brulee brownies. writing is fake
