So my school has this thing called the “Condom Fairy”. You just go to the Student Health website and state your preferences. You can choose male and/or female condoms and weather or not you want lube. Then a few days later an envelope appears in your mailbox free of charge! Also with that cool little note about consent. 

Share with the world. This is fantastic. They need this in high schools.

Assignment of Airplane Seats

Client: Hi, I’m looking for someone to design a website for my company. Is that something you do?

Me: Sure, do you already have a domain name?

Client: Yes, do you have a pen?

Me: I’m actually at the computer right now.

Client: Okay, it’s H as in Howard.

Me: Uh-huh…

Client: T as in Tony.

Me: Got it.

Client: T…

Me: Yep.

Client: P as in Patrick.

Me: Okay.

Client: Colon - the punctuation mark, mind you.

Me: Yeah.

Client: Forward leaning slash…

Me: M’hm.

Client: Another one of those.

Me: …

Client: Did you get that?

Me: Yes. 

Seriously, fuck those assholes and fuck this stupid-ass argument.

Let’s be real, he’s only “good” for a pope.

i want a friend with benefits (dental and medical insurance, 401k retirement plan, etc.)

Like many people, I’ve been horrified at the treatment of women who address topics like racism or rape or other issues online. But I haven’t found the words to express it or address it, which is why I was glad to see this post from i-come-by-it-honestly which compiled what John Scalzi had to say on it. You can add this blog and teapartycat to the list.

Find your Face Shape

This week, Gemma found us some Newly Discovered Constellations!

this was very enjoyable. 

I am a screenwriter with friends who make a living as crew film and television.

I have another friend who has a coding business (that, admittedly, I don’t fully understand, as it’s not my expertise).

Client: I want to make a commercial for [his product].

Me: Ok, great! What did you have in mind?

He excitedly tells me his idea. His passion is clear, but I know it’d be one boring commercial.

Me: Ok, um… yeah, we could do that. I could write a script for [low price because he’s a friend] and then I know a few people who could work on the commercial at a discount. We’d just need to get a good location and—

Client: Oh, I’ve got the location, we can shoot in my backyard.

Me: Oh.

Client: And I wouldn’t be paying anybody - especially at those prices. But I’m sure when they hear the project, they’d love to jump on board.

Me: Well, all the people I mentioned are professionals and -

Client: Do you know how many people would kill for an opportunity like this? This could make us all a lot of money.

Me: Well, again, they’re all professionals and would need to get paid up front for their time on set.

Client: But they’re just friends of yours. And we’ll be shooting in my backyard.

Me: Yeah, but these friends of mine are working professionals who make way more than the prices I mentioned. I might be able to convince them to work at that rate since it’s my script we’d be producing, but I won’t be able to push any further than that.

Client: But I’m sure they’d love this project and want to jump on board.

Me: For free…

Client: Exactly!

Me: You know what, I actually don’t think I’ll have time.

Client: Oh. That sucks. Well, give me your friends’ contact info so I can still get them.

The Price of Pretending to Work

“The most dangerous way to lose time is not to spend it having fun, but to spend it doing fake work.”

– Paul Graham

This week, Maggie illustrates a quote from Alain de Botton.

Spring is here! To celebrate I’m inside charting why it’s important to find those Easter Eggs promptly.

In 1960 Jane Goodall watched a chimpanzee repeatedly poking pieces of grass into a termite mound in order to “fish” for insects, the first observation of tool use among animals. When she notified anthropologist Louis Leakey of her discovery, he responded with a telegram:

NOW WE MUST REDEFINE TOOL, REDEFINE MAN, OR ACCEPT CHIMPANZEES AS HUMAN.

The word zombie is never used in Night of the Living Dead.

The word Mafia is never used in The Godfather.
