xiidogsmiles | windycarnage | soselfimportant | soselfimportant:
people were mentioning that pipeorgankind is sort of FULL VOLUME ALL THE TIME but like
lets take a look at what a pipe organ is and for the sake of argument and to nail the point home lets do it in all caps
A PIPE ORGAN IS A FUCKING INSTRUMENT LITERALLY THE SIZE OF A GOD DAMNED BUILDING
AN INSTRUMENT BUILT...

I'd say this on Twitter but my mother reads it
I can convince my parents that spending the back half of summer in Colorado is a grand plan despite the several really bad fires.
But they will find out about the strained electrical grid, the dead cop in City Park last weekend, the sharp jump this spring in violent crime in Park Hill and on East Colfax, and all the rest of it once I am back in Mississippi for the fall semester if I have anything...

“Why did Elvis let the Colonel have such power over him? Simply, the Colonel was...”
– Bobbie Ann Mason, Elvis Presley (112)
One of the several questions I am to be answering this summer is why Andrew Bird is not an Elvis Presley type. For a while I thought it was a — comparative — lack of humility. But now I have to consider where that comparative lack of humility comes...

unsungtale replied to your post: one other The Newsroom thing and then I swear I’m done
as much as i really like the west wing, oh god all his other stuff
Yeah, The West Wing is one of those things that’s nebulously on my Things I Should Probably Watch For Cultural Fluency At Some Point list, but it keeps getting shoved further and further down by… everything he’s done...

Please tell me I am not the only person thinking that Aaron Sorkin decided to appropriate Mac McClelland’s (TW for violent rape) How Violent Sex Helped Ease My PTSD for use for his female lead, also named Mac, also who reported on dangerous situations in developing countries and came back — in Sorkin’s word — “tired.”
I mean, it was already pretty clear from...

So, yes, The Newsroom is a condescending piece of shit of a show.
But I think the thing that has sent me completely over the fucking edge is appropriating the fucking Deepwater Horizon spill for purposes of illustrating a pissing match between two white male producers.
“Dude, you’re so edgy and politically incorrect. It’s totally ironic and...”

Here is an article by Sarah Nicole Prickett in which she very gracefully allows Aaron Sorkin to demonstrate everything awful about Aaron Sorkin, from the arrogance to the woman problem to the inability to comprehend the modern press. (via @jodyrosen)
The good news is, now I can’t...

I think what makes me angriest about what I just went through —
(family reunion, my mother drew unwanted attention to me by telling a past UDC chapter president that I was curious about the UDC, I got pigeonholed and taken to this woman’s house for an hour in the middle of the reunion when I was having fun talking to other people who weren’t flagrantly fucking racist,...
Just had a super depressing talk with my mother about how much she freshly hates the extended family (my father’s) whose reunions we are spending this weekend and next weekend attending, in which my primary input was “welcome to the club of realizing that they are selfish people who don’t give two shits about who you are and what you do and it’s really better to not speak...

Sucked it up and filled out an OKCupid profile. My self-summary:
Feminist, pro-choice, liberal agnostic with pagan leanings who votes mostly Democratic. If any of that is a red flag for you, you might want to hit your back button now.
OKCupid emailed me five times tonight. The fifth time was letting me know which states were worst for matches. Number two on that list: the state where I currently...

True story: I was not allowed to read Sweet Valley High when I was a kid because my mother thought they were too racy. So we compromised on Sweet Valley Twins. My favorite is still the one where they all went to Hawaii ON A LIE because Jessica’s pineapple upside-down cake that won the contest was SOMEBODY ELSE’S. HORROR.
womenscollegeproblems:
Stay up late during finals week to write papers. Have random people talk about a girl’s perky breasts. Look up and notice that she is not wearing a bra, and yes her breasts are ridiculously perky for a C cup. Have no one think the situation is weird or uncomfortable.
Yep. I was the C cup in question.

In Travels With Charley, John Steinbeck talks about the point at which you know beyond all doubt that your trip is over, and how it usually comes before the actual end of your journey. For him, it happened in Virginia on his way back to Long Island.
I am at a rest stop about forty miles north of Chattanooga and I am thinking about Steinbeck (Travels With Charley is my favorite book of all time,...
