words from Bob Lefsetz on the death of Michael Jackson.
i was going to write something, but this is better than i would have done. people don’t break on their own, not entirely. people get broken. whether you want to mourn, or complain about the aspects of his story that are being ignored due to mourning, remember that family, human frailty, and fame broke Michael Jackson. despite...
i have good friends.
came home to a copy of Infinite Jest in my door, via amazon from my friend Jeff (and I assume his lovely lady Lindsay) who is out in the bush, treeplanting.
even the note politely asking me to curb my self destructive side was much appreciated.
i win at friends.

this is fucking awesome. i might be a terribly offensive person, but equality in terms of sexual orientation is important to me, because i consider it exactly the same as equality based on race.

Trudeau fucked everything that moved and he is still our most beloved Prime Minister. Canadians really just don’t care about this sort of shit…
i’d be more inclined to agree if we didn’t keep electing fundie-lite conservative governments.
recharging.
i am going to need to accept that at this point in my life, sometimes i need to stop working, because it just isn’t happening. that doesn’t mean i can blow my deadlines, or half-ass. but it does mean that sometimes i need 20 minutes of sunshine, water and muttered curses before i can run back into the office and create something of value to myself and our clients.
that said, i need...

yes, love is all you need, when you have it.
but if love is all you have, you won’t have it forever.

She made me want to be a better person. And I can understand that isn’t healthy, for the desire to better yourself, to improve your humanity, to be tied to your relationship with another person.
But now I don’t have that urge at all. It’s gone, and in the place left behind is the urge to win. It’s not the same.

this matches my username pattern on twitter, gmail, linkedin, and now facebook.
skype is thwarting me pretty hard, tho.
Play with the Medium.
attentionindustry:
I’ve always argued that text is a visual medium, and drawing a line between it and images is a dangerous thing to do. I don’t just mean in terms of fonts or kerning, I believe that certain sentences just look better on the page than others. I think this should be a concern, whenever the interpretation of your sentences is a key issue.

And now, I have to accept that the thing I miss most is knowing that someone would listen, even at 2 in the inconvenient morning. There’s not a guaranteed listener, now.
It’s something I miss.

so, to recap: chivalry is sexist. chauvinism is sexist. finding a specific collection of traits or body type more attractive than others is sexist. putting women on a pedestal is sexist. putting them on the exact level of a male you have a similar relationship with is sexist. looking is sexist. actively not looking is sexist.
am i being absurd? of course. but...
Ultimate compliment:
When an artist is so good, I feel like an idiot for only discovering them now. So, here’s to you, amanda palmer. Holy shit, you are absurdly talented.

Oh, GOD. Seriously? rulesformyunbornson is filled with nothing but nauseating tripe. Keep a travel pack of tissues in your pocket and call it a friggin’ day. Actually, forget that. My guess is that blubbering ladyfriend probably has her own pack of tissues, and they’re...

terrible blog idea.

this came up at dinner a few weeks ago, but i would be delighted to see a blog called “The Dworkin School of Cultural Critique”.
the point of this, or course, would be to post songs, trailers, youtube clips, and posters, short fiction, etc, and explain how they are actually about...
“sometimes life is about doing okay, and being alright with it stopping there.”
short version.
we’re all objectifying someone, all the time. if you can do this in a way that doesn’t offend, degrade, insult, or otherwise negatively impact anyone (yourself included) you are probably doing okay.

Let’s go there, yes? Some boys (after this) have raised their hands at me and called themselves “guilty” but there’s no reason to feel guilt. Or not to enjoy looking at naked ladies. But here’s what it looks like from the lady POV on the...
not saying, just saying.
if you love someone’s boundary poking, mildly offensive, intentionally politically incorrect work or musings, and then freak out when they step on your toes instead of someone else’s, you are not ‘taking a stand’ and they likely did not ‘go too far’. they probably kept doing exactly what they’ve always done.
i’m as guilty of this as anyone, but...
