Aliaa Magda Elmahdy posted naked pictures of herself in a protest against Egypt's lack of secularism and Egyptians' insistence that a woman showing a little skin is a woman being unbearably arousing to men. Link does not go to the naked pictures.

Dear brain:

Thank you for producing seven hundred fifty words of the Femslash Advent Calendar fic. About damn time too. Now if you could oblige me by producing two hundred fifty words of porn to round out the fic, I'd be greatly appreciative.

ETA: Two hundred fifty words of not porn works too, I suppose. Can has beta, please? Supernatural, Mary/Ellen.

Sam, have you ever been someone who works for tips? It isn't fun. Denying someone a tip means taking money out of their pocket twice over, once because they don't get the tip money and twice because they have to pay taxes on the money they didn't get. And it's damn near impossible to make a living wage on tips and $2.13/hr wages. No matter how crappy the service, denying a waiter a tip is, just about literally, taking food out of their mouth, and nobody deserves that. Always always ALWAYS pay tips. Fifteen percent for crappy service. Twenty percent for decent service. More for great service.
