I think somebody made that flag to troll vexillologists.

A needle-tipped pen with a clear body and no grip.

A needle-tipped pen with a clear body and no grip.

My go-to in recent years has been the Pilot Hi-Tec-C (aka G-Tec-C) 0.4mm

The difference between 0.4mm and 0.5mm is probably more placebo than anything, but I like the slightly thinner tip

I’ve got at least two coworkers that fit that stereotype. One is in the classroom next to me and their coachiness drives me bugshit

I was born in an Iranian prison. My parents were held in their jails. My uncles lie in their mass graves.
Nothing you can tell me about the crimes of the Iranian regime that I haven't lived in blood and bone.
That doesn't mean I want my people bombed, maimed, killed, their homes in ruins.
If your vision of liberation comes only through the destruction of innocent lives, then it's not freedom you're after.
Sahar Delijani, Iranian author

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds.

I support neither imperialism or dictatorship.

For as much as they profess to love conservative musicians like Kid Rock, Republicans still seem to prefer using music from good artists for their agitprop

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

A framed poster reading "take the risk or lose the chance". In the middle is a big red question mark, like the chance square on the Monopoly Board. You also see the Monopoly Man's hand throwing a pair of dice

I don't care if it's in a games room; Monopoly-themed wall art is absurd

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.
