This is how I know I’m a dog person: if a cat did anything like this, I’d be horrified. Instead I’m shrieking with laughter. OH DOGS.

Happiness is one of the most important things in life but happiness is something you have to find in yourself - being who you are and accepting who you are - and no one can do that for you. I feel I’ve got to that stage, of being comfortable in my own skin.
OH MY GOD
NEVER STOP <33333333

Chicago killings cost $2.5 billion a year
Bloomberg News: Shootings cost Chicago $2.5 billion a year, or about $2,500 per household, according to Jens Ludwig, director of the University of Chicago Crime Lab.
Many of those costs are intangibles, Ludwig said, like keeping people from going outside or letting their children walk to school. Reducing even a fraction of the carnage, though, would free up more money than the city expects to save each year from the closing of 49 elementary schools approved yesterday by the school board.
Just so we can appreciate what “the violence in Chicago” means — because it’s really, really easy to not do that, even if (and maybe especially if) you live in Chicago — please take two hours and watch The Interrupters. This is a group of former gang members who “interrupt” violence as it happens, and who try to work with people one-on-one and in groups to take control of how they respond to violence.
This will change your life to watch. I’m not even kidding. You will ugly cry. You will have your heart broken. And you will understand — just a little — what it means to confront this thing from the inside.
If you want two more hours of stunning reporting about kids dealing with violence and death on Chicago’s South Side, listen to the This American Life two-parter on Harper High School [one, two]. (Both these pieces have in common Alex Kotlowitz, author of There Are No Children Here and many other works about kids, violence and poverty in Chicago.)
Please. Please take the time to do this.

"Your favorite public broadcasting network, NPR, is looking for someone to record their “this… is NPR” voiceover show closers, “support for this program comes from…” ramblings, and more. You could be that person! Although, come to think of it, the following people have voices made of gold and silver and other precious things, so they might deserve the job. Because, really, you don’t really want the job anyway. Hearing yourself after Ira Glass or Terry Gross might send you into a state of anxious paralysis."

…I kind of want to do this. (Even if I don’t do this, I might record the scripts and upload them somewhere. It could be fun!)
