On Tumblr to Shut Down Pro-Anorexia Blogs
I think the screenshot above nicely captures the problem with the policy, which is that it is being made and influenced by people who think that one develops serious fucking mental disorders because they are young and "impressionable" and trying to be cool. Definitely the way to encourage these young women to seek help is to ostracize them!

On Behaviors Cited As Quirks Or Oddities In An Article About Single Living That Are Actually Totally Normal Things That Lots Of People Do Even When They Live With Other People
My favorite person, and by favorite I mean "oh my god no," in the Times article, who was presented as having totally normal and understandable single person behavior, was the woman who regularly forgot to put on skirt/pants when leaving her home. Like, more than once. Totally normal things that happen if you live alone, lol!

On 15 Recipes for Your Enormous Christmas Cookie Tray!!!
There are no mexican chocolate, mexican wedding OR merangues on your tray: I declare your tray invalid. Also you need a separate tray of chocolate chip cookies, for santa. I recommend not using the recipe on the package which is how everyone does this all the time, by the way, and (surprise, I think?) use a recipe I found in Achewood. The comic strip. About cartoon cats. I can't find them online but they are called 12-step Chocolate Chip Cookies and are literally the best.

On The No-Tears, No-Panic Thanksgiving Countdown Guide: Week 1
This is too much. Are you hosting a group of 70 at your exquisite farmhouse in Vermont or something? If so, congratulations on your success and fortune, but if not you are just scaring people off of Thanksgiving! I mean:
Clean the house: the weekend prior (I am assuming no one here is like a hoarder)
Sandwiches: You do not need to have leftover bread for stuffing (even bread-based stuffings)? If you are dedicated to this, buy a loaf the day you are going to use it and leave it out overnight. Problem solved without eating a thousand sandwiches over a month. (Feel free to still eat a thousand sandwiches)
Wine shopping: internet this shit. If you are in NY, Astor Place delivers within a few days, to your house, for free. You can get cases of wine at a discount.
Grocery Shopping: Unless you are planning on making the cranberry sauce this far in advance, don't do this? I have had shit go bad on me listening to this kind of advice.
SORRY I still enjoyed the article and am looking forward to next week but I needed to lifehacker.com this on the principal of having been responsible for the main event and quite a bit else for Thanksgiving for several years now for a fairly large group of people!

On Occupy a Four Bedroom at 75 Wall Street for $22,950 a Month
I had to sit between two people in a taxi cab earlier who had obviously just read Bloomberg's statement and that Post garbage about a cafe that isn't particularly anywhere near the protest "being forced" to fire some of its staff "because" of OWS and just absorbed it, no questions asked! One of them even trotted out the "they SHOULD be protesting the government!" as if that means anything or the two aren't connected? Sigh. These are people I generally think of as smart, thoughtful individuals, I wasn't sharing a cab with two juicehead academy drop-outs or anything (in case people were worried).
But yeah, so, OWS, no questions asked, is hurting all the thousands and thousands of residents of the vibrant Zucotti Park community and their children and closing down their cafes I guess? It's weird to me that people who live in Manhattan no less actually believe the idea that there is a large, booming community of residents right there!
