“The best way to use Twitter? I don’t wanna brag, but I do have 1.5 million Twitter followers so this is kind of my area of expertise. And in my professional opinion the best way to use Twitter is to tell people what’s on your Tumblr. I don’t know if there’s another use for Twitter, really, than to be like, Look! Look what I Tumbled about today!”

- John Green, #1 New York TImes Bestselling Author (via rachelfershleiser)

Another People In Order: Love

Typical. Moments before my sister's confirmation, for which I am her sponsor:

Fri, 10 May 2013 19:37:37 -0400

Me: How're you doing?
Sister: Great.
Me: Good! (Solid clap on the shoulder)
Sister: You wanna fight me?
Me: Yeah, but later. I don't want to mess up that nice red confirmation robe.
Her friend: What?!

For Sotomayor, Bronx School’s Closing Prompts Heartache — and Memories:

Not that I shopped at A&F to begin with (ew). Even so, if this is true (and I’d like to see a citation because internet), to hell with it.

Hey, bro, cool story.

DFTBA sells a bunch of shirts, and we market to ugly people and nerdy people and small people and big people and pretty people and we’re doing okay and plus we don’t need physical stores with LITERALLY THE WORST MUSIC EVER CREATED BY HUMANS PLAYING AT EAR-BLEEDING VOLUME SO THAT ALL OF YOUR PURPORTEDLY COOL AND BEAUTIFUL EMPLOYEES ARE MADE DEAF BY THEIR WORKING CONDITIONS.

So that’s another way of doing it.

Also I hate your jeans.

“Ballet dancing,” LIFE magazine told its readers in 1936, “is a hard, steady, painstaking job.”

“After you have made a decision that is pleasing to God, the Devil may try to make you have second thoughts. Intensify your prayer time, meditation, and good deeds. For if Satan’s temptations merely cause you to increase your efforts to grow in holiness, he’ll have an incentive to leave you alone.” - St. Ignatius of Loyola
