Hardly anyone in any arm of the photography profession makes even decent money anymore, but the editors/graphic designers? I dunno, maybe, but that’s not as much my area.

I’ve been a photographer — film and digital — for over 25 years, and I’ve been using Photoshop, in all its various iterations, for at least 15. Every damn day it still blows my mind how completely (hilariously) fucking LAZY the people who do this stuff more regularly and “professionally” than I do are. Like, they

Exactly. Literally every single thing on this horrific list is all just Power Tripping 101. Disgusting.

Excellent article! Thank you for such a detailed breakdown.

Ooh! I live in LA, and might like to get some more work done in the next year or so. Do you mind naming her? Would love to look into her stuff!

Darin Morgan is just such a damn champion. It’s wild. (Also, he is the only writer who would create a situation in which they go back and alter an episode he acted in, and have someone shoot him in the head. Bless.)

I’m morbidly curious to see what losses of immense product housing, just in terms of square footage, like this end up doing to a lot of markets.

I have been wondering about what the hell this is! Not because I’ve caught it (thankfully), but I swear to you, practically everyone I know right now has. My mother, a couple coworkers, one of my roommates... There are more that I’m forgetting. But they all know it isn’t the flu at this point, and have all been stuck

This list is not exhaustive, but as a queer person, it is exhausting.

Ha!

In my experience, Bumble is just as useless as kingwolf implies AND OKCupid is a cesspool! (And I live in a huge city!) Other lady friends of mine in LA also hate the absolute uselessness of Bumble, but hey, maybe it’s just me.

I was far too young to appreciate it at the time — like many do, I started very young in dance, at age 4 — but I was so, SO lucky that I ended up dancing for my earliest, most vulnerable, and most formative years (ages 4-14 or so) with a small, professional (but never overly serious) studio, with good teachers who

She really was tremendous. And those first two novels you mentioned I still think of regularly ever since reading them. The concepts in them, and the ruminations on humanity (and what that even means), are not the kind you can forget about, once reading them described so fully, imaginatively, and eloquently. She was a

I will never forget the night I had to work at my old bookstore, and they had an event for that dickhead Neil Strauss’ other book (Everyone Loves You When You’re Dead), and of course a bunch of shithead bros showed up and decided it was the prime time to harrass the only female employee in the store with tactics

Wow. This is a big one. Her work is just phenomenal. I still think about each one I’ve read — particularly The Dispossessed — regularly. They’re the kind of works that live on in your mind for years afterward, and for good reason. RIP to a great, great lady.

Completely fair argument! However, extensive research does show that information absorbed from a digital format does not stick in the brain nearly as well as what we read in print. Essentially, technology has evolved too quickly (so far) for our eyes and brains to fully keep up.

What makes this all the more irritating is the face he made as he vomited out that drivel. It was a smug, goofy-looking grin.

You rang?

I couldn’t either — though my lovely manager (who did go) told me that I could come in later to work than scheduled and he’d still pay me for the few hours I’d miss (I work for really good people) — as I had possibly the worst cramps I’ve ever had (irony?) this week, barely slept thanks to that, and am still sort of

Some people might consider this a mood killer, but guess what?
