- Sarah Waters (via writingquotes)

Joss Whedon: Electing Mitt Romney will ensure the zombie apocalypse

“You need to ask yourself, ‘Am I ready? Am I ready for the purity and courage of Mitt Romney’s apocalyptic vision?’ Mitt’s ready. He’s not afraid to face a ravening, grasping horde of subhumans, because that’s how he sees poor people already,” Whedon quips. “Let’s all embrace the future, stop pretending like we care about each other and start hoarding canned goods, because if Mitt takes office, sooner or later the Zomnies will come for all of us.”

Watch this Missouri pastor’s fiery speech against equality (specifically as it pertains to LGBTQ peoples) all the way to the end. (Even if it’s hard to do, which it probably will be.) It will be worth it, I promise.

“Most of the writers I know are weird hybrids. There’s a strong streak of egomania coupled with extreme shyness. Writing’s kind of like exhibitionism in private. And there’s also a strange loneliness, and a desire to have some kind of conversation with people, but not a real great ability to do it in person.”

- David Foster Wallace (via jayarrarr)
