[Aubrey] Plaza says her dream is to do a real ­middle-of-the-road romantic comedy, ­specifically one with Ryan Gosling, who once approached her in a juice bar to tell her he loves Parks and ­Recreation. “I’d work in a flower shop and be insecure. And he’d work in real estate—sorry, I’m pitching a movie to you.” She’s not sorry. She keeps pitching. “And there’s always cupcake batter on my face, and I’m like, ‘I just made these cupcakes, but I don’t know how I feel!’ And he’s like, ‘Let me get that cupcake batter off your face … with my dick.’” She’s cracking up. “Cut to me giving him a hand job. Sorry, I’ve had too much caffeine.” (x)

shortformblog: Awesome: Obama writes absence note for fifth-grader Missing school to see the president? Be sure you get one of these. Ryan Sullivan, an employee at a Honeywell plant in Minnesota, got the chance to introduce Barack Obama Friday, which led to his fifth-grade son, Tyler, missing school. Fortunately, Barack came though with this. Awesome. (thanks HyperVocal, which is also on Tumblr)

laughing alone in rooms: An oral history of The Wire -

jkottke:

The Wire premiered on HBO 10 years ago tomorrow so Maxim (what really?) is out with a long oral history. It’s all worth reading (and finally proof for the ‘I read it for the articles’ argument), but the more interesting bits to me were towards the end, and I wish there were a…

ilovecharts: typingfrantically: Let me talk to you about books. Specifically, one book. This book. This book should be a best seller. This book should be required reading for graduating from high school. Before you get that diploma, you read this book. This book deals with debunking “Neurosexism,” which is a very fancy term for all of that evolutionary psychology bullshit that people spill about those “brain differences” between boys and girls. This book debunks such myths as: Boys are better at math than girls Women make crappy lawyers/business CEOs/etc, as their brains are not cut out for aggression. Men make crappy counselors/primary school teachers/primary parents/etc, as their brains are not cut out for empathy. MEN ARE BUILT FOR GOING OUT AND HUNTING WHILE WOMEN ARE BUILT FOR STAYING HOME AND BABYMAKING IT’S NOT SEXISM IT’S JUST BIOLOGY And many other such myths. Furthermore, this book covers topics such as:  Neurosexism and gender perceptions in multiple races (as this is not a singularly white experience, just as the western world isn’t a singularly white experience) Sex discrimination in the workplace, and how women are (or, more often, are not) allowed to behave How science is used (badly) to support many of these claims Experiences of trans* people, both through interviews and empirical studies. AND FINALLY - It is all brilliantly researched, cited, compiled - and it’s easy to read! Cordelia Fine actually manages to be funny while writing this, which I think is important, because it makes all of this information infinitely accessible. Delusions of Gender has reinforced what Oberlin taught me: The gender binary is stupid and arbitrary, and dangerous. And it is a self-perpetuating bias that needs to be addressed to be overcome. Their heads are a chart, so I’m allowed to do this.
