Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

Street Lit
Putting a message on a wall can be a much more effective way to reach the masses than expecting them to go find a book and learn it themselves. Some men just want to watch the world learn, regardless of medium. This collection of street arts details some memorable lines from famous books, hit the pictures to see which author and title, if you didnt already recognize them immediately.

“My local library branch started doing this “Blind Date with a Book” thing, thought you guys might like it. The shelf was full when we got there, but was like this as we were leaving. The books are wrapped in paper and have different designs on them, and then a few words vaguely describing the subject matter of the book. Things like “Drama”, “Plot Twists”, “espionage”, etc. The only thing exposed on the book is the barcode that you use to scan the book out. I thought it was a pretty cool idea.”
THIS IS WHY BOOKSTORES ARE COOL.
I just wish we had any left in the Hartford area…
This is a library, not a bookstore :|
HARTFORD HAS LIBRARIES—HARTFORD LIBRARIANS NEED TO GET ON THIS SHIT.
Also this idea is really cute.
Well maybe if I visited the libraries more often I would know how to read a post before reblogging it.
I’m just going to leave this here now….
I’m going to sneak into Barnes and Noble and cover a bunch of books and put them in the “Staff Recommends” section

Hey! A giveaway!
I knit hats and people like them, so here - win a custom-made hat from me. Reblog this post by January 13th atMIDNIGHT*11:59 PM* (Pacific time) [I changed it by 1 minute to clear up the ‘which midnight?’ confusion] for a chance to win a hat that I will make just for you. I know that’s not a ton of time, but I want to be able to make the hat and send it to the winner while it’s still winter! Unless you live in the southern hemisphere, I guess. You get to choose what color, how bulky, fuzzy or not fuzzy, loose or snug, brim or no brim, and whether you want a pompom on top (sorry in advance if the pompom is shitty). I’ll make it however you want it and send it to you!These are some examples of hats that I have made in the past. Pretty neat, right?
The Rules:
- Reblog ONCE - if you reblog multiple times I won’t count any of your entries because that shit’s annoying
- Likes don’t count
- Must be following me (ganitsirk.tumblr.com)
- Must have your ask box open so I can contact you - if you win and your ask box isn’t on, I’ll choose someone else
- Must be willing to give me an address to send it to (duh)
- Worldwide! I’ll ship to anywhere!
This ends in like 2.5 hours.
Last chance to win.
I’d love a hat!
