Justine Rowling hates being a woman and sees womanness as a burden. It infuriates her that any boat would want to be a woman. It enrages her that someone could opt out of being a woman. JK is a prisoner of her own feeble prejudices

Well, damn it… I had just settled in to play with a fancy new granulating watercolor pigment, twernt cheap either, and the company sent me the wrong thing. Worst of all, it’s Chinese White, the most useless watercolor ever made! If it was anything else I’d keep it. Boooo.

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

The Price of Remission: This Cancer Drug Saves Lives — but Costs a Fortune. I Wanted to Know Why.
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I set out to understand why a single pill of Revlimid cost the same as a new iPhone. I’ve covered high drug prices as a reporter for years. What I discovered shocked ...

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

This is something I've not talked about before, but it's weighed heavily on my mind. Gaiman. Obvs it doesn't hold a candle to any pain experienced by victims, but I still haven't recovered. He meant a lot to me; through his work & a few things he did to help me personally. It's fucking hard.

Guh, if only my mom had done that! I expect she thought I would warm up to the thrill of the hunt eventually.
when I was a kid, my mom would drive out to Central Avenue on Wednesdays (Westchester County knows what I’m talking about) and she would go to the comic store first. Because after that, I’d just walk around with her in any store, nose in a comic, head in the clouds
