“First I roll over on the bed I built for myself
and look at the ground. If there are clothes I wore from the previous day and they’re not too dirty, that’s what I put on.”

A country in which guns are birthday presents is a sick country. I love the U.S. for many reasons, but it has a deep festering sickness that won’t be healed.

Went to Gettysburg when I was a kid with my mother, my brother, and my grandmother. My grandmother, who can’t drive for shit, drove the whole way and refused to let my mother take the wheel. So we were treated to her constantly stopping on the goddamn interstate to check and see if she had missed her exit, while cars…

Your mom is a rock star.

Does it count if you didn’t fully realize it was awful?

I was about five years old. My mother decides to load four of us kids in the van and take us from Washington State to California, to go to my mom’s cousin’s wedding. While there, we were also going to visit her siblings and go to Disneyland and all sorts of fun…

I am a tattoo artist as well. I don’t know what Dan’s reasoning is, but I can tell you I would not have tattooed your neck either. His analogy might have been poor, but I think your emotions might have made the story a little different too. I will not tattoo hands or necks. YES, its YOUR body, and YES its YOUR…

I’ve been refused tattoos in the past, and I’m a man. I also had many, many visible tattoos at the time. It all comes down to the artist’s discretion, and if they don;t feel comfortable doing a tattoo then they’re simply not going to do it. Don’t take it personally. You move on to the next parlor until you find the…

Getting a tattoo when you’re not like, part of the subculture of tattoos, can be a weird, kind of frustrating experience (I say this as someone who has a number of non-visible tattoos, but who is a very white-collar, corporate button-up type). There’s definitely a push and pull between the client and artist (it’s…

I found this gem too :

I realize that. I’m Jewish. We know what pastrami is. But that’s not the point is it? The point is that yelling at someone like that is not the appropriate way to handle your dietary restrictions.

Pastrami is beef!

Yeah, but the weird thing is pastrami is usually made with beef, not pork.

Paul Simon’s Graceland is both a great album and a problematic album, but I love it nonetheless. Boy in the Bubble might actually be my favourite song from the album for its lyrics and positive atmosphere.

I thought the girl who got treated badly by one of the Boondocks Saints would be here. He was such a dick to her.

My only takeaway from this is that I really, really want to see Maria Abramovic deliver a powerpoint presentation.

My friends did a cat toss instead—they threw a stuffed cat into the whole assembled crowd and the person to catch it was supposed to be the next person to get a cat.

Just a reminder: these are the people worried about gays ruining marriage for everybody.

My mom I think was a little (maybe more than a little bitter) that she had to stay at home iwth the kids instead of work and provide for the family. For a bit my parents were rocky, and the one thing she instilled in me was that; you should always be able to hold your own financially in a relationship because that’s…
