With Wandring Steps and Slow

“ I thought it was weird… when you picked us to make a documentary. But, all in all, I think an ordinary paper company like Dunder Mifflin was a great subject for a documentary. There’s a lot of beauty in ordinary things. Isn’t that kind of the point?

“ Women are socialized to make men feel good. We’re socialized to “let you down easy.” We’re not socialized to say a clear and direct “no.” We’re socialized to speak in hints and boost egos and let people save face. People who don’t respect the social contract (rapists, predators, assholes, pickup artists) are good at taking advantage of this. “No” is something we have to learn. “No” is something we have to earn. In fact, I’d argue that the ability to just say “no” to something, without further comment, apology, explanation, guilt, or thinking about it is one of the great rites of passage in growing up, and when you start saying it and saying it regularly the world often pushes back. And calls you names.

“

You need to know, too, that what I know has already been said, and said more eloquently than I can say anything, by W. H. Auden. ‘If there when grace dances,’ he said, ‘I should dance.’

You need to know I dance as often as I can.

Stirring

Nathan, from kitchen: “Your sauce is boiling over.”

Me: “Did you turn the heat down??” *runs to kitchen*

Nathan: *stirring sauce* “No…I thought stirring it would help.”

John Green's tumblr: The Commencement Address

fishingboatproceeds:

Some people have asked to read the commencement address I delivered this morning to the 2013 graduates of Butler University. So here it is.

My own commencement speaker, who shall remain nameless, began with a lame joke about how these speeches only come in two varieties: Short and bad. This…

This is very beautiful and is something that people who are graduating, people who have graduated and are working dumb jobs, and old people who don’t understand why all young people aren’t getting degrees in computer science, should read.
