i remember in middle/high school, there was this girl i thought was freaking gorgeous. she was a year older than me and i hadn’t met her before. i know her name, but i mean, in high school a bunch of people know who you are without ever even talking to you. ugh omg i just creeped her facebook profile and damn she is still beautiful o____<

there have only been two people in my entire life where i’ve just been like, “omg…wtf… why is she so gorgeous why can’t i be that pretty fuuuuu” because i’m mostly happy with the way i look. one of them is this girl, and another one was in my intro to sociology class last year.

there are so many beautiful people in the world, but those two ladies are the only ones i’ve ever envied for their looks. random thought!

Death is so terrifying
I don’t care if I die
But I don’t want the people I love
To die alone
That’s why death is so terrifying

i don’t want the people i love to die at all. i hate getting older because it means everyone around me is getting older too.

‎”When Americans talk about folks like me paying my fair share of taxes, it’s not because they envy the rich. It’s because they understand that when I get tax breaks I don’t need and the country can’t afford, it either adds to the deficit, or somebody else has to make up the difference - like a senior on a fixed income; or a student trying to get through school; or a family trying to make ends meet. That’s not right. Americans know it’s not right. They know that this generation’s success is only possible because past generations felt a responsibility to each other, and to their country’s future, and they know our way of life will only endure if we feel that same sense of shared responsibility.” — President Barack Obama.

This is Janet Liang. She has been fighting acute lymphoblastic leukemia since August 2009. Her doctors told her she needs to find a bone marrow donor by April.

Liang is Chinese-America. Currently, only 25% of the people registered in the National Bone Marrow Registry are racial minorities. Watch her heartbreaking video and please, please, please sign up for the Be The Match Registry. Sign up online and they’ll send you a kit in the mail. All you need to do is send them a cheek swab.

Here’s some information about donating. Basically, they remove some bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells with a needle. Your body will grow back whatever they take, and most people can expect a full recovery from the outpatient procedure in 2-3 weeks.

I’ve been a member of the registry since 2005 and I’ve never been matched as a donor. So don’t worry—it’s not like you sign up and you’ll be in the hospital the next day. You can always update your membership with them and/or ask to be removed from the registry if you change your mind. But imagine being able to save someone’s life with the stuff your body grows naturally. It’s an incredible gift to give. My friend Kevin is alive today because of a stranger who donated marrow. Janet is a friend of a friend from college, and she’s hoping social media can save her life.

Please consider signing up, especially if you’re a POC. And please reblog this to help find a match for Janet and thousands of other people waiting for a miracle.

Mitt Romney’s Tax Returns of the Day: Semi-bowing to political pressure, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney released his tax forms this morning and — surprise — he’s stupid rich.

How stupid rich? In 2010, Romney made $21.7 million. In 2011, the former Massachusetts governor made $20.9. In both years, the overwhelming majority of his income came from personal investments — capital gains, dividends, and interest.

In both years Romney owed significantly less taxes than the average American — 13.9% in 2010; 15.4% in 2011 (thanks George Bush) — while earning 900 times the median American salary without lifting a finger.

As becoming of the sort of comically wealthy person he is, Romney’s tax forms reveal he also maintained bank accounts in notorious tax havens such as Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and Switzerland.

His forms show he paid taxed on all three accounts, before closing them. Of course, given the minuscule glimpse into Romney’s tax history, it’s difficult to tell if the two forms paint a complete picture.

To his credit, Romney did donate some $7 million to charity over the course of the last two years. (The majority of which went to the Mormon Church, but it still beats Biden’s $369 a year.)

All in all, nothing earth-shattering, although the forms certainly cement in the minds of the average voter just how above-average Romney is in the fortune department.

And it’s worth noting, as Wonkette does, that Romney released 23 years of tax returns to the McCain campaign, and they picked Sarah Palin for veep over him, so something in those other 21 years may have spooked them.
