Why I love e-books
So, Jonathan Franzen, a novelist, thinks e-books are damaging society.  Serious readers, he believes, have a desire for permanence that can only be satisfied by owning print copies of books.

Muslim Fashion Appreciation Post
ichbinschadenfreude: I see a lot of Tumblr posts of girls in their short shorts and singlets that only cover up half their torso, but I don’t think I have seen a Fashion post about classy, stylish or spunky, conservatively-presented girls, most especially Muslim girls.

kovaniy: you know I wonder if back in the day when The Final Problem came out Victorians were sending out letters with “Dear sir, have you read the latest Holmes story yet? I simply cannot handle it. I have cried an unseemly amount of tears. I cannot. Oh God.” and then there’s just a big ink scribble because keysmashing wasn’t an option little drawings of crying people in the margins
