Even
After
All this time
The Sun never says to the Earth,
“You owe me.”
Look
What happens
With a love like that,
It lights the whole sky.

Though I intentionally wear skirts that fall below my knees and tops that come up to my neck, I am told that my dress is distracting or inappropriate. Because my non plus-sized co-workers wear mini-skirts and tops that reveal “tasteful” cleavage, I know the problem is not my clothing but my “full figure.” This has happened since I dared to enter puberty.

Apparently this will be DC’s redesign for the character Harley Quinn. As you can see, pretty much everything harlequin-ish about the character will be removed and she’s just in booty shorts and a corset, making her look like a stripper’s attempt at 90’s “extreme” superheroes more than the clown queen of crime.
Jesus fucking Christ, DC, what the fuck is wrong with you?
Bill Nye Booed in Texas for Saying the Moon Reflects the Sun
Bill Nye, the harmless children’s edu-tainer known as “The Science Guy,” managed to offend a select group of adults in Waco, Texas at a presentation, when he suggested that the moon does not emit light, but instead reflects the light of the sun.
As even most elementary-school graduates know, the moon reflects the light of the sun but produces no light of its own.
But don’t tell that to the good people of Waco, who were “visibly angered by what some perceived as irreverence,” according to the Waco Tribune.
Nye was in town to participate in McLennan Community College’s Distinguished Lecture Series. He gave two lectures on such unfunny and adult topics as global warming, Mars exploration, and energy consumption.
But nothing got people as riled as when he brought up Genesis 1:16, which reads: “God made two great lights — the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.”
The lesser light, he pointed out, is not a light at all, but only a reflector.
At this point, several people in the audience stormed out in fury. One woman yelled “We believe in God!” and left with three children, thus ensuring that people across America would read about the incident and conclude that Waco is as nutty as they’d always suspected.
This story originally appeared in the Waco Tribune, but the newspaper has mysteriously pulled its story from the online version, presumably to avoid further embarrassment.
