Yep, definitely not the most brilliant idea of mine. BARF.
Jus tried it. I like it! Combining two of my loves is a good thing. Try playing with the ratio of hot to sweet.
Looks like the idea’s been out there:

Why is it that even when you code alignment into Tumblr, the desired direction of the text only shows up when you are viewing the person’s blog?
I would like to see the alignments that I shift to the center or the right show up in my dashboard, too.

The normativity of Christianity in the...
We visited the local metaphysical bookstore yesterday… I was with friends who wanted to go. Interestingly enough, they had a section called Christianity and Celtic traditions. Each section had only one heading, so I don’t know if they ran out of space (C is early in the alphabet) or if that was indeed a single, yet weird, section. Regardless, Christianity was the only one of the...

THIS 78-character tweet in English would be only 24 characters long in Chinese:
That makes Chinese ideal for micro-blogs, which typically restrict messages to 140 symbols. Though Twitter, with 140m active users the world’s best-known microblogging service, is blocked in China, Sina Weibo, a local variant, has over 250m users. Chinese is so succinct that most messages never reach that...

KABOBFest: Contrary to Oren, Israelis Persecute... →
BY NABIL ⋅ MARCH 30, 2012
A funny thing happened the other day. Michael Oren, the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, tried to convince readers of the Wall Street Journal that the “only place in the Middle East where Christians aren’t endangered but flourishing is Israel,” while blaming Islam for the plight of Christians in the Middle East, specifically the plight of Christian Palestinians...

iramofthecolumns: Muslim Male Privilege Checklist →
iramofthecolumns:
Came across this today. Needless to say, it’s on point.
As a Muslim man: 1. I can set foot in any masjid I like. No one will stop me at the door and tell me that I am not allowed in the masjid. 2. When I attend Jumah prayer I know that I will have full access to the main prayer hall….
