Nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff. We don’t have to be like, ‘oh, that purse is okay,’ or ‘yeah, I liked that band’s early stuff.’ Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can’t-control-yourself love it. When people call people nerds, mostly what they’re saying is: ‘you like stuff!’ Which is just not a good insult at all, like, ‘you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness.’ ”

It’s so funny. I never thought much of this guy in his movies. I mean, he’s a good actor and all, but I wasn’t super fangirl or whatever.
Until Tumblr. Tumblr is causing me to fangirl all over Mr. Hiddleston. I LOVE HIM.
His smile is just lovely.

This…this is a real place in the world? I can go here? How soon can I go here?
I didn’t think I could love libraries more than I already do. Then I saw this photo and I realized I was wrong.
The fans have a term that I’ve learned which is fantastic. It’s called ‘squee.’ S-Q-U-E-E. I’ll tell you I kept reading it going, ‘What does that mean?’
And then I walked onto the helicarrier. It’s a helicarrrier. I walked into the first scene, I walked through the door, and all of a sudden, I was looking at a kind of roundtable, around which was seated Thor, Captain America, Bruce Banner, Nick Fury, and Black Widow…
And I thought [small voice], ‘Squee!’
I get it now! Then I look around and it’s Robert Downey, Jeremy Renner, and Scarlett. Johannson. [sighs]. And I’m having the actor’s squee too!
Interview with Clark Gregg on the Kevin & Bean Show, May 3, 2012 (via rhoboat77)
In which @ClarkGregg learns the true meaning of SQUEE. He’s so awesome.

Like I really needed another reason to love Clark Gregg and Agent Coulson more.
Team Ronan Rugby Challenge
Guiness Book of World Records Scrum Challenge
(Current record is held by 840 school children in South Africa)
& USA EAGLES Rugby 7’s Exhibition
On April 7, 2012, Ronan Nelson, a sophomore at Cathedral Catholic High School in San Diego, was critically injured in a club rugby game. After several surgeries and intensive care at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, Ronan is now an inpatient at Sharp Memorial Hospital Rehabilitation Center, working on walking again.
Can’t join us? Help Ronan now at: https://www.wepay.com/donations/team-ronan-recovery-fund_1
Keep up on Ronan’s progress at: www.facebook.com/prayforronannelsonWhat happened to Ronan almost happened to my brother a month ago. Fortunately for my family, my brother only has to wear a neck brace for a couple months before he’s as good as new.
Please like and reblog this event!
Kids, back in 2012, your aunt Robin wanted to do something more with her life. So she took her love of guns to an organization called S.H.I.E.L.D and fought alongside the Avengers.
Now, your Uncle Barney and I took it pretty hard; she was getting to spend a lot of time with another billionaire playboy, this guy named Tony Stark. Your Uncle Barney almost went crazy when he found out the guy had a metal suit.
“It shoots fireballs, Ted! He looks like a freakin’ storm trooper!”
Then your uncle Barney decided to fight back.
Haha, YES!
It has been grey and gloomy all week, but still enjoying my working vacation. (Taken with instagram)
Most Awkward Dance Ever
After this, I’m done talking about the Gibson Wedding. I really didn’t want to talk about this, but it’s been bugging me. Like really bugging me. Like can’t study and all my projects suck bugging me. So here it is, the Most awkward dance ever with Darcy. - oh and I miss Charlotte, she should be back this week.
I am amazed!The last picture I posted hit it big on Reddit. Some really nice things have been said.
There were a couple of requests for more pictures, so here’s what I have. I didn’t take as many progress pics as I would have liked, because the process was a bit messier than I was expecting. (Crumbs and frosting ERRRRRVRYWHERE!) I also didn’t take too many (good) pictures of the outside of the cake, since it came out a bit lumpier than I would have liked.
I threw in a picture of the other cake I made on JD’s actual birthday, just because I think he’s adorable. Carry on.Feminism is a belief that women are as valuable as men.
Valuable enough to choose the best career combining their gifts, their desires and their life goals.
Valuable enough to reflect God’s characteristics.
Valuable enough to be able and worthy contributors to every aspect of life. T
his is not to discount women’s differences. I believe in our distinctions, wrote a whole book about them in fact (Ruby Slippers). But my conclusion is that every slice of society and culture,
from pulpit preaching,
to final decision making in the family,
to spiritual leadership,
to the highest office of the land
would benefit from unmuting women’s voices.Feminism wants to actively reach for woman’s voice in every aspect of life. To include women as more than an ornament.
Are LOLCats and Internet Memes Art?
We’ve all seen and shared a few LOLCats and Internet Memes in our time, but is it possible that these images and videos are actually a new form of art? It may seem strange, but Rage Guys, Advice Dogs, Trollfaces, and Philosoraptors are ways for people around the globe to express their thoughts, feelings, and emotions with others; the core principle of art. And we think some of history’s greatest philosophers and artists might be inclined to agree!
Interesting thoughts. I don’t entirely agree that memes are art…but then I don’t think they can’t be art either.
This Would Get Me To Watch Rugby.
I barely have any semblance of an idea what’s going on here (obvious fantasy elements aside) but I can say with absolute authority that were all rugby games like this, I would become the world’s biggest fan. Any description would just ruin it – you’ll have to see it for yourself.
HOLY BALLS, BATMAN!! Badass does not even begin to cover it. WATCH!!
If I had seen this video 6 years ago, I TOTALLY would have understood why my brothers became so infatuated with rugby so fast. I would watch this game ALL the time!
There is a weird sense in which this technology treats everything unintended as if it is unwelcome: it is fundamentally opposed to the idea of figuring anything out for yourself. It advances the notion that we are entitled to a noncorporeal, completely nonpersonal presence we talk to like a person (“Where’s the music section?”) so we don’t have to expend the mental energy to suffer the indignity and inconvenience of potentially taking a wrong turn in a bookstore. We’re not talking here about turn-by-turn navigation that keeps you from heading for Boston and winding up in Charlotte. We’re talking about stamping out every trace of inefficiency in pursuit of a life where every right that would most directly have been a left becomes a problem to be solved.
Google’s New Glasses And The War On Serendipity
This is a lovely piece that pretty much sums up how I feel about Google’s project. Yes, the tech is cool, but the end result is much less so.
