Proofing and double/triple/quadruple checking work has been going by the wayside more and more as print becomes less and less profitable, unfortunately:(

To me, this is the kind of really big, really obvious mistake that no one notices when they are editing and proofing because they are busy looking for typos and other smaller but more typical errors. Then it goes out into the world and when the very first person points it out and it’s like “Fuuuuuuuuck.” I can totally…

I do, too. But if I was using it something official, particularly something as prominent as a magazine cover, I would check first.

I tell the two symbols apart with a mnemonic device that associates the arrow pointing up with an erect penis. I know I’m not the only one who does this, at least I hope not.

Team Vogue coming for that Pulitzer.

I mix up those symbols all the time. I buy it.

Don’t forget, he’s not just a white supremacist, he’s a gay man who goes out of his way to target women, under the guise of dehumanizing them for being trans, black, SJW, whatever. I think his issues with misogyny are front and center in whatever it is that broke him and turned him into this ugly garbage person.

I was just talking to someone who works at Simon & Schuster as a publicist and is not happy that they are doing this. I hate the whole “withhold judgment until they have had a chance to read the actual contents of the book.” We know what he is about! He has made himself very clear. It normalizes hate-speech. Yes yes…

Go to Albuquerque and stay in a hacienda. Buy some locally produced wine infused with New Mexican chilis. Drink 2 glasses, smoke a joint and drive to Santa Fe with narcotrafficante banda music blasting in your Chrysler 300 at 85 mph. The red and gold mesas and the clear 15 mile distances you can see across will blow…

But how else am I going to spend a whole paycheck on a multi-day gauntlet of blistering sun, filthy hordes, and 2 bands I actually like embedded deep within 17 I don’t?

Purim is coming

Music festivals are vastly overrated.

WHOA WHAT AN EDGY COMMENT YOU MUST BE FUN AT PARTIES

So now what the hell am I supposed to do with the Steampunk/Hippie ensemble I’ve carefully curated over the past 12 months?

Decent human beings?

shit like this always makes me think of that lindy west quote from shrill (which i’m paraphrasing): feminism is realizing everything you love actually hates you.

Teen Vogue is killing it and I am enjoying watching all the men be like “but women who like shoes can only write about shoes! herp derp”

Ugh, why can’t people allow me to enjoy them/their things without being secretly awful.

Wow, glad I’m not going.*

I’ve never been but the pictures out of Coachella always evoke the image of a post apocalyptic landscape that makes me feel like it would be the perfect setting for Global Warming PSAs.
