I found myself getting wrapped up in several comment arguments attached to this one article about racism on Grantland over the past… three days?? oh god seriously it’s been that long I almost want to stop writing about this in shame
BUT I had a critical realization last night: even if the people I’m arguing with are parroting well-worn generalizations and refusing to consider...

On Shock
Hi so I had a lot on my mind about violent and horrific things I read today and I wanted to write about them buuuut this piece does concern itself with, naturally, violent horrific things. In fact, it’s about the difference between pictures and videos that shock and the power of text to shock, so it’s nice and meta and potentially painful to read through. I did not originally write...

– I’m reading Skippy Dies and have picked up some great vocab from it. “Streel” is another word that I’ve grabbed from the novel. “Tannoy” is one that, like Popsicle, is a brand name rather than the word itself but is used colloquially; Tannoy is curious because...

shkoff:
The term “addiction” is only used in reference to socially unacceptable behaviors.
Some guy spends all day watching porn and it’s a porn addiction. I spend all day watching Netflix and that’s just life.
Yea. True this.
I disagree. An addiction damages other spheres of your life. You aren’t addicted to Netflix until you feel as though you need Netflix over...

Tomorrow night I’m djing at BEDLAM for the ALL DIE YOUNG fundraiser. I’ve gotta fill an hour and a half, and while I have more than enough favorite tracks to manage that, my favorite part of preparing for a dj set is finding approximately 50 new favorites the night before. Here’s one of them: the Curl Up remix of Drop The Lime’s “Shake Baby Shake.”
Sure,...

– This is a little sidebar with no context in one of my retired notebooks. I feel like it could be from The Venture Brothers, but if not then I clearly have some great ideas for scenes.

I hopped up on a bench at Bedlam and danced with this lady last night. We had a blast. If you can believe it, I’ve seen every episode of the soap opera she starred in. Everything is weird to me.

The "Work" Week Ahead Of Me
Right now I’m memorizing/practicing about seven minutes of stand-up comedy which I will perform for my professor on Wednesday. I do this on a weekly basis as part of an independent study. I’ve written about trash and responsibility for this session, so it probably isn’t funny.
Tomorrow I have to give a presentation on a magazine, so this afternoon I went to my local newsstand,...

Genderbitch: Musings of a Trans Chick -- "Intent!... →
I’ve managed to convince myself that intent is the driving force that allows me to write and behave the way that I do, and that the actions I take will be seen as attempting to deconstruct any sort of -ist behavior and that I’m aware (to the point of anxiety) of the weight behind every single word that I use. I figure that if people are offended by my actions, I must acknowledge and...

Okay, so here’s the scenario. I’m standing at Broadway and Washington Place, waiting for the bus.
