The DIY Couturier: FUCK YOU, GAWKER. →
rosalindrobertson:
Gawker is crowdsourcing TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS to pay off the drug dealers who have a video that allegedly shows the mayor of my city smoking crack.
And I think everyone in this city should ask - How DARE you?
Let me talk to you a second about drugs, criminality, poverty, gangs and guns….
“This rampant stupidity has only managed to elicit one base emotion in me...

Dear Center Community,
I know you share my sadness and outrage at the recent string of anti-gay violence gripping our city, including the horrific murder of 32-year old Mark Carson on Friday night, just blocks from the Center. I want you to know that the Center is committed to standing with community partners and leaders, and doing everything in our power to respond and denounce...

zackcelebration:
Hey. Look. It’s the piece I wrote for Talkhouse. It’s raining and that stupid foodie festival got rained out, so what a wonderful opportunity to read about my dreams getting rained out by the cleansing shower of the world’s indifference.
You’ll want to read what it’s like to be in a band by the guy who gave us “Every generation gets The National it...

tylercoates:
A gay man was gunned down in Greenwich Village early today by an armed bigot who hurled homophobic slurs at him — and claimed to be the Newtown, Conn. killer before the murder, police said today.
The 32-year-old Brooklyn victim, whose name has not been released, was walking with a pal on Sixth Avenue near West Eighth Street about midnight when they were approached by three...

HERE IS TODAY →
coketalk:
I’m constantly yelling at people for not having a sense of scale when pondering their relative insignificance in the grand scheme of things. Maybe this will help.
To be honest, this really doesn’t help me. Do you know what does? Take an hour and absorb the significance of Frontline’s documentary on Syria.

I did not win the Grand Prix in Portland, but I did eat and drink well. I thought before I went that I might fall in love, that I might do the American thing and decide to keep marching west. I thought I might never want to leave; I expected the things I like about Madison, Wisconsin without the things I don’t. I expected green and a comfortable pace and beer and I got all that,...

Hard to tolerate Adulting or any project that deeply reckons with the idea of “becoming an adult.” There are two steps to becoming an adult: 1. Recognize your responsibilities toward yourself. 2. Recognize your responsibilities toward others. Poof, you are no longer a mouth that wants. Everything else is just decoration.

Bicycle Grinching
julene:
I am the only person in all of New York that thinks this Citibike program is going to result in a lot of pedestrians getting hit by snotty, entitled brats on bikes: Y/N?
We’re waiting for the day a German tourist (yes, specifically German) gets killed because a reckless driver makes a Citibank-sponsored/splattered mess of him (yes, specifically him) and then maybe NYC will get...

I’m sorry, but if this isnt the worst case of NIMBYism i’ve ever seen, i dont know what is…
While “across the street” doesn’t seem like it would make a big difference, in this situation, it actually probably would.
How you can go from totally ‘psyched to join and use’ to ‘move it across the street’ in one paragraph, i’ll never understand…
