My Medical Choice

Angelina Jolie goes public about her double mastectomy. “On a personal note, I do not feel any less of a woman. I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity.” Holy wow. The entire piece made me cry.

<3  “I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there and read this and know that, yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.” - Frida Kahlo

futurejournalismproject: Omnishambles The Oxford English Dictionary’s 2012 word of the year is “omnishambles”. Although omnishambles is still most commonly used in political contexts, usage has evolved rapidly in other contexts to describe any debacle or poorly managed situation. Omnishambles, derived from omni- (‘all’) and shambles (‘a state of total disorder’), has given rise to its own derivative, omnishambolic, indicating that potentially this is a word with staying power. The OED’s US counterpart, the Oxford American Dictionary has chosen “GIF” as its word of the year. Takeaway: The English are pessimistic while Americans are optimistically distracted by kittehs.
