“We’ll get out peeps together.” Shut the front door. I totally want D. Criss in a Muppet movie.

“You have the right to eat, because you are a human being.
You also need to...”
– Michelle, aka The Fat Nutritionist, “How to eat, in a nutshell”
Go read the whole thing. *shoos*
(via drst)
The Fat Nutritionist was the first person I read who laid out the (in retrospect totally logical) argument that all this talk about how sugar or fat or carbs are “addicting” and all this...

fiddleyoumust:
That moment when you finish a book, look around, and realize that everyone is just carrying on with their lives as though you didn’t just experience emotional trauma at the hands of a paperback.

A sampling:
On life’s constant little limitations

On expectations

On the evils of mangling words
Calvin: Verbing weird...
