The summer after my sophomore year of college, my parents asked me to house sit for them while they went out of town for a long weekend. At the time, they lived in a fairly remote area so it was a bit of a trek, but it was a big beautiful house on the lake and my parents’ pets were sweethearts. First night I actually…

In the 1970s a university graduate hitchhiked from Glasgow to Tehran to start his new job. On the way he met a very posh man who was going to stay at his father’s house whilst it was empty. They exchanged info, and the hitchhiker was invited to a party at the British ambassador’s house. A ballet dancer who was friends…

Sorry for the long story.

Met my partner of eleven years while both working at an umbrella factory.

Not mine, my parents. Dad home on leave, nobody around to drink with but a neighborhood guy he’s known forever. All night, dude talks about being in love with this girl (who’s engaged), drags dad to girls house in another town.

Stuff like this is why I love you, Ellie.

A hundred years ago an angry Austrian man didn’t get into art school and we got Hitler. Eighteen years ago an angry Austrian man got puked on. Dan, you’ve fucked us all.

This quote from Neil Gaiman about political correctness has stuck with me:

For the first time in history, white men have to occasionally, just a tiny bit, think before they speak and be questioned about their words and beliefs. This is the “political correctness” everyone is whining about. How dare people that they’ve always been able to oppress, insult, laugh at, or dismiss demand respect…

That dog is a fucking animal. Watch how a civilized pooch handles this problem:

Not to get all sappy, but adults tend to forget how much things mean to kids. All kinds of things, whether big, little, good or bad. Even without the video and Deadspin article, this kid will remember getting that bat forever.

I really wish they would have said Sandra Bland’s name. She, like other countless victims, are women as well. They are just as important as the men being gunned down and should not be silenced.
