quarter life crisis

humansofnewyork:

Not sure that I’ve ever been so honored to introduce someone as I am right now.
Gac Filipaj is a refugee from the former Yugoslavia. For the past twelve years, he has worked as a janitor for Columbia University. His job title is “Heavy Cleaner,” which includes emptying the trash and cleaning the toilets.
During this time, he worked until 11pm every night during the week. After his shift concluded, he would start studying. This weekend, after twelve years of study, Gac graduated from Columbia University with a Classics degree. Rarely have so many qualities I admire been wrapped up in a single person.

The Riot: I had an abortion

maehemsez:

I had an abortion.

I’m not going to tell you how old I was when I had it.

I’m not going to tell you what the circumstances around the pregnancy were.

I’m not going to tell you whether birth control was used or not.

I’m not going to tell you…

The people of Mexico were lined up along the streets to see the Pope. This little guy thought otherwise.

Derby Girl: I'll take that sandwich and shove it down your damn throat

derbygirl:

I’m going to slap the next person who looks at a skinny woman and responds, “She needs to eat a sandwich.”

Yes! Please. I got asked if I was anorexic in high school. I appreciate my genes, but it really feels shitty when people assume you have an eating disorder, one way or the other. It’s not funny, so just stop.

It really is horrifying that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable.

Anyone know if there are gluten free veggie burgers out there?

nosugarmama:

Just realizing that they all have wheat gluten in them-as far as I know. Not cool for someone who basically lives on that shit. Boo.

I have found some at Market Basket - some random brand I’ve only ever seen there (and actually, you probably don’t have MB/Demoulas down there, so nevermind). Apparently Amy’s has some: http://www.amys.com/products/product-detail/gluten-free/000281

nosugarmama:

Something I didn’t know: soy sauce has gluten in it!

What?

I have been eating sushi at least once a week, and am newly obsessed with making stir-fry at home. If anyone has any ideas about what would make a good soy sauce substitute, I am all ears.

Aminos! Not exactly the same, but close enough. Plus allegedly healthy!
