I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Does her name begin with an A? Because I helped out a tequila tasting that she created a cocktail for! I like her blog, too... (if we are talking about the same person)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Me either, erika.

And you're someone who'll marry Eliot, I'm just... I dunno.

Seriously, of all the FCM results, that one's largest in my mind? I just can't get over not marrying Hardison. Craxxy talk.

Punishingly Intricate

She's no hipster, though.

I'm sure someone thinks she is. It's all a matter of perspective.

In other news, I'd really like a margarita right now. Today was kind of hard. I'm such a huge money drain in my household right now. Unexpected car and eye doctor expenses. feh. Also, it is really hot! And my head hurts from having my eyes dilated today. And my back hurts from injuring it at the farmer's market sunday. And wah wah wah wah wah

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

My definition of a hipster is simple: are you someone wearing some item of clothing or accessory as an ironic, cooler-than-thou statment, yet are rolling your eyes at my wardrobe choices? Then you are a hipster.

I realize this definition won't work for anyone else. Sorry.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Does her name begin with an A?

Yes, that's her!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh dear. Talk about the Catholic Church being tone-deaf....

Pope Benedict rejects Irish bishop's resignation

In a move that has stunned critics Pope Benedict XVI has rejected the resignations of two Dublin auxiliary bishops.

Bishop Raymond Field and Bishop Eamonn Walsh had both tendered their resignations in 2009 in the wake of the Murphy report into clerical child abuse.

Both men had come under intense pressure because they had served as bishops during the period investigated by the Murphy Commission into clerical child sex abuse in the Archdiocese of Dublin.

The Murphy Commission in Ireland found that sexual abuse was 'endemic' in boys' institutions but that the church hierarchy protected the perpetrators and allowed them to take up new positions teaching other children after their original victims had been sworn to secrecy.

...

Announcing their resignations in December, the two auxiliary bishops said: 'It is our hope that our action may help to bring the peace and reconciliation of Jesus Christ to the victims and survivors of child sexual abuse. We again apologize to them.'

Now their gesture of reconciliation has been halted by the pontiff. Archbishop Martin said the two men are 'to be assigned revised responsibilities within the diocese.'
