“Here’s the truth: friendships between women are often the deepest and most profound love stories, but they are often discussed as if they are ancillary, “bonus” relationships to the truly important ones. Women’s friendships outlast jobs, parents, husbands, boyfriends, lovers, and sometimes children.” Emily Rapp Transformation And Transcendence: The Power Of Female Friendship - The Rumpus.net

“Every breath that we take — from first gasp to last breath — we’re inhaling fungal spores,” he says. “They’re always available, they’re always in the air, and they’re always trying to exploit the opportunities to grow and reproduce.” Nicholas Money: The Man Who Studies The Fungus Among Us : NPR

“Religion has been an important part of my understanding, my inquiry into what it means to be human. I feel like that religions generally ask the biggest questions. They may not always have the best answers, but they’re the zone of human activity that regularly asks the biggest questions.” Playwright and novelist Ayad Akhtar. His debut novel, American Dervish, tells the story of Hayat Shah, a Pakistani-American boy in Milwaukee coming to terms with his religion and identity. (via nprfreshair)

Put away your political bias for a second and tell me this isn’t a great idea.

I found this via copyranter, who also posted the news story below. I have no idea if this is real or not.

Reuters, January 10—In an historical political move, the marketing team of Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has launched a diabolical nationwide public bathroom advertising campaign against President Barack Obama.

An anonymous Romney spokesperson says the hot air hand dryer stickers have been placed in most major airport restrooms and hundreds of McDonald’s and Denny’s locations around the nation. When asked how they worked out such an unusual media buy, the spokesperson simply said, “no comment,” insinuating that this is an illegal guerrilla effort.
