The Fault in Science Fiction.
Well, it is kind of science fiction, in the sense that it is fiction that occasionally mentions science. (But seriously, Target. Thanks for reading my book!)

Equality is not a concept. It’s not something we should be striving for. It’s a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women, and the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who’s confronted with it. We need equality. Kinda now.

So congratulations, North Carolina. Last night, you struck a decisive blow for loneliness. And tonight, as you go to sleep beside your heterosexual life mate, you can rest assured that all across your great state, a gay man or lesbian woman is crying themselves to sleep in solitude and making your relationship stronger with each tear.

John Green's tumblr: What inspired you to write The Book Thief?
I grew up in Sydney and had a pretty normal childhood with my brother and two sisters. We lived most of our lives in the backyard, doing typical Australian things, but once in a while, it wasn’t Sydney anymore – because our parents told us their stories. That was when a piece of…
So, I posted this as a photo-reply to your Washington Apple chart, but not really sure how that works so here it is again. It hangs in a store near me that is highly apple-themed but also has a lot of other great produce and deli treats. I may be inventing things in my head, but I think they can swap out different varieties on this chart because I’m sure I’ve seen Granny Smith on it before.
Interesting to contrast the ratings on this one with the Washinton one, too. Perhaps some of the apple varieties have different qualities in New England, or opinions on what makes for a good “pie” or “salad” apple differ? Also on this chart almost all varieties max out the “eating” index, which may mean that the maker really likes eating apples and just does not give a shit which kind they are. Idareds must suck to get fewer dots than Red Delicious.
BTW I bought half a dozen McIntosh because they are indeed good for eating.
PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF GAYS DESTROYING THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE AND FAMILY.
But if gays are allowed to marry, my wife will notice that I don’t try to stay in shape as hard Neil Patrick Harris does!!!
Hank's Tumblr: Equality in America
I think I make it pretty clear in my video today that I don’t understand why we’re even talking about this. I don’t understand the arguments of people who oppose gay marriage, and I’m usually pretty good at understanding people’s viewpoints.
The arguments are so silly and uninteresting that…
Thank you, Hank Green
