Katie Baker: The Confessions Of A Former... →
annicka:
katie baker’s piece perfectly captures what it was like to be a teenage girl on the internets in the 90s. my experience with chat rooms, forums and long-term internet relationships mirror hers almost exactly - except i wasn’t on sports boards, and i wasn’t internet famous. She alludes to the undercurrent of weirdness/sadness that is always a present in internet relationships. it’s a...

Bars. Bars bars bars. Brooklyn bars with graffitied bathrooms, accurate and inaccurate depictions of dicks, bars with dart boards and Connect Four and photobooths. Bars with guys in skinny jeans and plaid, in baggy jeans and fedoras, in suits and ties. Girls who say excuse me, bouncers who say…

I cannot count the number of Blue/Orange/Brown Line trains that I’ve missed due to people refusing to walk on the escalators.
Move, you gastropods. It. is. not. a. damn. carnival. ride.
My method to make people walk on escalators: I stand as close as possible to them without being too obvious and then I cough semi-loudly so I know they can hear it, hopefully sensing...

So, I’m in love with a bailiff. Which, I’m sure, doesn’t pose any ethical dilemmas, so whatever.
Today, we got to spend 4 hours together during jury selection. During a sidebar, I managed to turn off all of the lights in the entire courtroom. ALL OF THE LIGHTS. IN THE COURTROOM. IN THE MIDDLE OF…

Thoughts on the Coachella line-up
Although there are definitely a lot of bands I’d love to see, most of them I’ve seen already/they will play Chicago this year and it’s not worth the $500+ in tickets/airfare/hotel/car rental that it would take for me to get out to Indio. I have to say though, I love that people are making a huge deal about Death From Above 1979 reuniting. First of all, when you break up in...

relovingit:
I watched this last night. I loved it. I love Julianne Moore. And I really love Mia Wasikowska. (Have you seen her in Alice in Wonderland?) I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a more realistic portrayal of a family.
I noticed that I seem to be at a point in my life where I indentify equally with the…

Palin Calls Criticism ‘Blood Libel’ →

everynightfireworks:
“Blood libel is typically used to describe the false accusation that Jews murder Christian children to use their blood in religious rituals, in particular the baking of matzos for passover. The term has been used for centuries as the pretext for anti-Semitism and violent pogroms against Jews, and her use of the phrase itself has caused the video to go viral,...

"Sweet Home Arizona" →
One of my former creative writing professors from UA wrote this op-ed that was published in the NYT today. It’s definitely worth a read if you get a chance.
I was going to write a lengthy post about my feelings on the Arizona shooting and how close to home it hit for me (my parents live a mile away from the grocery store where it occurred and I’m a UA ‘07 alum), but my friend Mike, a fellow UA alum, did a better job than I ever could do in his open letter to Harvey Levin, his boss at TMZ.
Blood's on your hands, Sarah.

So very, very sad for Tucson today.
I wish I could be there right now.
