When tumblr talked about clones in Orphan Black I thought they meant like YT clones.

This shit is crazy

Welcome to the insanity that is Orphan Black. Please tell me you agree with me that Cosima is inexplicably the hottest.

Penises help with roofing - no really.

mansplained:

I have volunteered for Habitat for Humanity almost every weekend for over 15 years, and have done just about every aspect of building and construction.  We were building a house and a new volunteer said that he would take over for me on the roof because it would be “easier for him”.  I jokingly said, “Why - do you actually use your penis in some way when roofing?”.  He answered that, yes, indeed, his penis was a “stabilizing factor” that helped men not fall off on pitched surfaces like roofs, and that testicles, in fact, were known to improve the ability to focus, so that he wouldn’t do things like hit his thumb with a hammer, which women were prone to doing.  I thought this was a witty retort to my slightly rude question, and was thinking he was a pretty clever guy to joke around like this.  So, I laughed out loud, thinking this was friendly banter.  Instead, he was seriously offended that I had laughed, and said he was just trying to explain basic biology to me!  

Filed under well that gave me some hilarious mental images stabilizing factor huh?

Recent problems: I was reading this really literary historic fiction book and I really just wanted it to devolve into a Nicholas Sparks novel. Every time a potential romantic interest showed up I got excited, and then instead of kissing they just talked philosophy in the rain and such shit.

In Focus: Protests Spread Across Brazil

Starting late last week, with several small protests denouncing a hike in public transport fares, demonstrations flared up yesterday, encompassing larger public anger at poor public services, police violence and government corruption. More than 200,000 took to the streets of Brazil’s biggest cities yesterday, voicing frustration with the billions of dollars set aside for upcoming sports events like the World Cup and the 2014 Olympics, despite crushing levels of poverty in some places, and underfunded public education, health, security and transportation. Though the majority of the protests were peaceful, a few violent demonstrations were broken up by police in Rio de Janeiro.
