“IF instant death, THEN don’t” is always a sound philosophy.

No writer ever resented being quoted anywhere, anytime. :)

I guess when Sean Penn is your dad you don’t see how fucked it is that Madonna is still friends with the man who tied her to a chair and beat her. :-/

It’s too bad my birthday just passed, this is full of so many great ideas. I’d get a sign that says “Happy Pear Shaped Birthday, Snacky”. Make everyone shove lumbar pillows down the sides of their pants, drink moderately priced craft beer and watch Scott Pilgrim (“Again?” yes, again).

I agree. I don’t get the appeal at all. If I’m gonna change my mental state, I’d rather drink alcohol because it leads to that great warm, floating happy space. Weed just makes me paranoid and want to self harm. People should be able to do what they want, but weed evangelists are really annoying

I don’t get why people like pot. It just baffles me. It’s worse than being drunk. But I hope we can end the dumb drug wars and legalize ALL drugs.

I don’t care if one person commutes to work in a wheelchair. They are deserving of the same access and the same options that any able-bodied person. It’s not about money, it’s about giving everyone the same chances and preventing textbook discrimination.

If only there was a way to retrofit elevators into buildings.

Thank you! It’s like they don’t get the idea that disabled or differently-abled people deserve to have access to the same things as able-bodied people. Sigh.

I feel like you just laid out a case for why government exists. Collectively we can accomplish things that don’t have clear economic gain. We can decide to incentivize businesses to be more accessible (tax credits or tax breaks?). Where that doesn’t work we can bring access all the way to the doors. <steps off soapbox>

I like how everyone is able-splaining (can that be a word?) why NYC can’t do this. Props to you, and keep fighting for disability rights.

Now you know what it feels like to not be able to acces basic services....

I’m a C6 quadriplegic and the Only alternative to commute from one borough to the next is to use access a ride. Unfortunately the service isn’t as convenient as MTA thinks it is. Having to wait outside 5 minutes prior to your pick up even though they can and are regularly late regardless of the conditions outside is…

This kind of shit is why I’m trying to become a disability rights lawyer. The subway is supposed to be one of the easiest public transit systems in the world to use, which just makes you think of what it must be like in other areas where the system isn’t used as well.

There’s a great interview that she did - I think maybe it was with Seth Meyers? - where she said that as a child she wanted to change her name because no one could pronounce it, and her mother told her: “If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky and Michelangelo and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka.” Truth.

When I first saw the trailer for this, and didn’t know what it was, I seriously thought it was a vampire movie because those contacts on Depp look so unnatural. They’re awful.

“Hi, I’m Corey Stoll, and I’m in everything now. My agent rocks.”

Well, I mean, to be fair, he wasn’t wearing full face makeup or an absurd facial accessory.
