At the End of the Cycle
I have my Health and my Families. I think I can call it another good year.

– One World in 60 Seconds - The Socjournal (via sociolab)
I do this a lot. One day I was just sitting on a school shuttle and started imagining the complex webs of interrelationships in that little space. Is this another sign that I’m on the road to Sociology?
Partying on New Year's Eve?

Don’t drink and drive-and don’t ride with anybody who does. Tipsy Tow offered by AAA: you don’t have to be a AAA member, from 6pm-6am on New Years Eve/day, they will take your drunk self and your car home for FREE. Save this number… 1-800-222-4357. Please reblog this if you don’t mind.

I noticed Yahoo.com’s “ad feedback” button and immediately fired off a complaint that if Kayak can legally withdraw advertising and bow to Islamophobia, Yahoo should legally refuse and boycott advertising by an...

Everyone needs this on their blog
Reblogging in hopes that someone, somewhere, reads this and changes their mind.
