&lt;p&gt;(part of a really important &lt;a href="http://tesslynch.tumblr.com/post/248265245/at-home-with-turtle-part-two-in-a-series-part" target="_blank"&gt;ongoing&lt;/a&gt; series)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lisa was on her way downstairs to fix herself a tuna sandwich when she saw an unusual sight: Bart’s door was open.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bart and Milhouse were smoking pot in the garage, something which Lisa had never seen but had been able to discern from the smells and coughs that traveled through the house’s old ventilation; she knew that they wouldn’t return for hours. She crept towards the door.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Inside, the computer screen was open to Wikipedia. Lisa sat down at his computer. What she saw gave her chills: Bart had been editing the Scientology page. Where Nancy Cartwright’s name had once appeared under the “celebrities” section, there were now the words “my butt.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bart’s voice was a Scientologist. How had Lisa not known this? Looking back, it all seemed so clear: when he had the flu, he only took Niacin. When he fell off his bike, he shook his fist at the heavens and cursed Xenu. When he watched &lt;i&gt;Top Gun, &lt;/i&gt;he laughed like a maniac but refused to explain why. Lisa began to sweat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Outside, she heard Homer emerge from the bathroom. He padded down the hall towards Bart’s room. Lisa froze. There was no way to escape.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Oooh,” said Homer, pushing open the door. “What have we here?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I had to check my email and my computer froze,” said Lisa, perhaps too quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Homer scratched himself and ambled over to where she sat. She tried to close the window, but it was too late — and maybe it was better that Homer know what was going on, anyway, she reasoned. She had heard that Scientologists had to disassociate with their family members who didn’t subscribe to the belief system of the church, and Homer was a (lapsed) Presbyterian who had little regard for other religions (a source of debate when the Simpsons visited their more open-minded friends; Lisa often left these dinner parties or graduation lunches burning with shame).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Do you think your brother is a Scientist?” asked Homer. “And if he is a Scientist, do you think he could help me with my microbrewery? Or is that illegal, because he’s underage? Lisa?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lisa hung her head. Existence could be such a lonely thing.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://tesslynch.tumblr.com/post/268214945</link><guid>http://tesslynch.tumblr.com/post/268214945</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Dec 2009 15:32:00 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>Remember when Matthew Fox was the canvas on which you painted...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://16.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ku3jiwXS6e1qznk94o1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember when Matthew Fox was the canvas on which you painted your dreams? It was the mid-nineties and you were a pre-teen and he really understood you because you both took yourselves VERY VERY SERIOUSLY?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then remember when you were watching the first season of &lt;i&gt;Lost&lt;/i&gt;, and you expected to feel that same kind of magic, but his same Foxiness now came off as bossy and humorless and like No-Funtown? And then you saw &lt;a href="http://8.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krmatcUE2a1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg" target="_blank"&gt;his mugshot&lt;/a&gt; and realized that if your taste in people hadn’t matured over the years, you’d be one of those people who cries on their lunch break every day because life is so heavy?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://tesslynch.tumblr.com/post/268106890</link><guid>http://tesslynch.tumblr.com/post/268106890</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:54:32 -0800</pubDate></item><item><title>tomoatmeal:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you ever show up late to an intervention, a good joke is to go up to the oldest woman there and pretend that she is the person who everyone is trying to convince to get help.  “Oh no!  You’re so weathered!  And look at what the drug use has done to your skin!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It’s harmless and also a great way to help everyone loosen up.  What?  Oh nevermind.  The intervention is for me again.&lt;/p&gt;
