I’m wearing mismatched flip flops today because both pairs’ other halves are under the couch that my dad is currently sleeping on while giggling and muttering angrily “You won’t drug me” (sleep apnea). So yeah mismatched socks it is!

This one is very serious, guys:
I came upon these two on the sidewalk. They were having a conversation. “Excuse me,” I said, addressing the girl: “I’m sorry to interrupt, but is there anyway I can take your photo?”
“Why would you want my photo?” she asked.
“Because you look beautiful,” I said. And she did. She was Sudanese. There is a very distinct beauty among people from the Sudan, and she was filled up with it. Suddenly the man cut in:
“I was just telling her she was beautiful,” he said.Naively, I assumed I had just walked up on one stranger giving a compliment to another. I wanted to capture the moment. “Let me take your photograph together,” I said. The man seemed reluctant, he started smiling nervously and inching away. But the girl called him back.
“Come take a picture with me,” she said. Encouraged by her attention, he returned. She put her arm around him, and I took the photo.
As I examined the photos on my camera, the man started whispering to the girl. She answered him in a loud voice: “I told you! I’m not that kind of girl.” She seemed agitated now. Finally sensing that I had misread the situation, I stepped between them. The man began hurrying down the sidewalk.
When the man left, the girl’s demeanor changed completely. She seemed shaken. Her eyes were tearing up. “He just offered me five hundred dollars to go out with him,” she said. “And then when I said ‘no,’ he offered me one thousand. Why does this always happen to me?”
“It happens a lot?” I asked.
“All the time,” she said. “I’m sorry I’m getting emotional. I just can’t go out of my house without this kind of thing happening. I have a son. I’m a mother. I would never degrade myself like that. I just don’t understand why this keeps happening.”
“Do you mind if I tell this story?” I asked.
“Please,” she said. “Tell it.”Let’s hope this man, and all men, realize the emotional damage they are inflicting on the women they try to buy. In the meantime, feel free to SHARE.*
*With this man being an Orthodox Jew, I hope that all long-time followers of HONY would by now have realized the high respect I hold for the Orthodox Jewish community as a whole.
Also she is gorgeous. o-o
i do love it when my case makes itself without me needing to say much more. :)
Ahh I haven’t been weeping in a corner half inarticulate over the accumulation of things like this nope
Not at all
I hate that this was taken down. I mean fine, the photograph, but the story? He owes it to that young girl to tell it. Thank goodness the internet never forgets.
What even
I’d thought I’d be browsing through a dashboard at a standstill
but no it’s a party over here
ok well I’d love to hang out but I have to write a research paper I’m way over my head with. Is that how that phrase is used?
How do you words

THE WORD “GYSPY” IS A RACIST SLUR USED TO BELITTLE AND ABUSE ROMANI PEOPLE
DON’T TAG PICTURES OF YOU DANCING IN THE WOODS WITH SPARKLY SCARVES AS “GYPSY”
DON’T TAG PICTURES OF ANY OF YOUR OTHER HIPPIE SHIT AS “GYPSY”
DON’T USE THE…
SERIOUSLY
“NON MISOGYNIST HUSBAND”
SERIOUSLY
HE REALLY PUT THAT IN THE SPEECH
HOW ABOUT YOU SHOW IT IN YOUR TV SHOWS THEN
wait what is this
and how angry is it going to make me
Moffat’s won a special BAFTA award and was described as a “non misogynist husband” in his introduction by Benedict Cumberbatch. I skipped his actual speech though so I don’t know how bad it is.
oh my god
lmao
that’s like soooo telling
as in, everyone knows he’s a rampant sexist and the industry is so political and they all have to protect le moff
Wait is this a thing
Yes
I knew I wasn’t just imagining things
‘You read 961 words per minute.
That makes you 284% faster than the national average.’
this would explain why I always got through books far too fast for it to be worthwhile actually BUYING them
also why EVERY ADULT EVER was infuriated by me as a kid
This thing keeps not believing the natural speed I read just because my initial reading comprehension is shit and I can’t answer the minor detail questions. XD Just because I don’t remember some small thing doesn’t mean I wasn’t really reading it at the time.
I usually have to read things a few times in order to fully absorb them. I just read them quickly on the first try to get a feel for the content, and I do that super fast. I KNOW I read fast because EVERYONE is shocked at my reading speed. :P
Ooh fun

Research shows mice that eat yogurt have bigger balls, exhibit “mouse swagger” and get laid more often.
It’s gotten to the point at which I actually mistake did-you-kno facts for did-yuo-kno facts

Well, see there’s this book called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy. In the story, there is an encyclopedia called The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy, which will tell you how you can lead an adventurous hitchhiking life throughout the galaxy for “only 30 Altarian dollars a day.” One of the most important, basic rules of this lifestyle is to have your towel with you at all times. This even became a phrase, and someone who “knows where is towel is” is resourceful and quick thinking.
Since fictional characters shouldn’t have all the fun, HGG fans have made May 25 Towel Day in honor of the book.
