Gawker reports Mark Zuckerberg is engaged, which leads to a discussion of what’s wrong with Asian women, naturally. (Racialicious)

n+1 on interning as a gift:

[F]or an intern to distinguish herself, she must ingratiate without seeming ingratiating. The intern is to appreciate the opportunity to peek at the file folders into which she slides contracts and correspondence. She shouldn’t act above her lot, although to be hired she must believe herself above it.

When your abuser gets married:

Sometimes, I can’t help but question myself – did I imagine it? Was it really as bad as I perceive it to be?  It’s questions like this that made me keep it locked away for so many years, wanting to spare myself the questioning of my intentions by confronting it, by spelling it out. I was scared someone would tell me I was wrong, that I was a liar, that I was just trying to ruin a young man’s life. I was scared no one would believe me, that I was being over dramatic or making it up. (Persephone Magazine)

Do you tend to point out your faults loudly when you’re nervous? Because you figure it’s better to get in first, before someone points them out for you? Yeah. Me too. Openess can be like that. It works like this: Before you challenge me on my boundaries, before you hold a mirror up to my intimacy issues, how about I barrage you with my brazeness, then you won’t have a leg to stand on!
