Dope gif! :: via Grimes - GvB
GPOYW!
Just kidding. Also, you know that I’m not a skinny white girl. But this GIF has been making me laugh at least once every day for five straight days, y’all. So I had to share it with you.

That's What She Said.
murmurandshout replied to your link: Galactic Tides By Night
That was amazing.
Wasn’t it? Here’s a little rant:
What makes me sad and frustrated and angry about the Internet (and life in general, I guess) is that we are all so fucking pressed for time that everything cool out there is competing for all of our eyeballs and ears. Except for when I am doing it for work, I have zero...

“Here is Nowhere. Jump and You’ll Be Free.”
Just click it. Watch/Listen to/Read the whole thing. It’s wonderful. You won’t be sorry.

groupsexprettygangbangs liked your photo: Also got over the weekend: Morning Glory Coffee…
But I can’t blame him or her. That coffee syrup is still in my fridge. I try to use it sparingly because I’d have to travel back up to Boston to get another bottle if I ran out, but I can tell you that it’s the shit. If you are in New England and you have easy access to this stuff,...

Hi, New Followers!
I’m pretty sure that nothing I’ve posted has ever been on a featured tag like “Lit” before now, although certainly not for a lack of trying! That was unexpected. And really, all the credit for ‘I like books & have feelings’ goes to Meaghan and Melissa from Glass Houses, but it’s nice to be “liked” so much. You’re kind of catching me...

From "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh," pp. 88-89
“This bar was esteemed for the quality or at least the profusion of the graffiti in both its gentlemen’s and ladies’ rooms, which were rarely washed or repainted. I read this exchange:
WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT WOMEN, ANYWAY? And, lower: HEY, EVERY WOMAN, PAL, IS A VOLUME OF STORIES A CATALOGUE OF MOVEMENTS A SPECTACULAR ARRAY OF IMAGES
Then:
PLUS THERE’S THE MYSTERY...

The Point When You Know You've Lost All Resolve
I think for many New Yorkers, whether transplants from elsewhere or born and raised, that point is when you finally can’t handle what life is throwing at you with a brave face anymore and you break down and cry in public.
I’ve been having a hard time (peppered with some really amazing times with both new and old friends) for several weeks now. I’ve cried in the shower, while...

WatchI think this is the first time I’m backing a project from someone I personally know, albeit not that well. Rachel and I were in undergrad together at Lang, and I’ve been following her ups and downs of trying to be a filmmaker in NYC on Facebook. This looks like such a wonderful, youthful, and energetic project. I just wanted to share it in case any of you were interested in putting...

– Cheryl Strayed in “The Love Of My Life” for The Sun Magazine, Issue 321, Sept. 2002.
Sorry to keep turning my Tumblr into a Sugar/Cheryl love fest, but she is just so damn good. And I feel more comfortable posting this kind of stuff here than I do on Facebook, even though I’ve...

Things I Would Like to Have or Do Sometime in the...
A decent night’s sleep, for fuck’s sake. Every time I get tired enough to doze off lately, I either can’t stay asleep or have to get up and do something or go somewhere.
A full-time job with at least some benefits. I need health insurance.
A change of apartments, roommates, and potentially neighborhoods. The above would help in being able to afford this one.
A brief vacation...

– “Dear Sugar” Has a Coming-Out Party in San Francisco | The Awl
Edited to Add: She has two readings booked in New York for her forthcoming memoir in March, and I’m definitely buying it and going to one of the two. I have not read many of her “Dear Sugar” columns other...

Valentine's Day is Dumb, But I'll Wish You a Happy...
I had a pretty damn amazing day and night on Sunday. It was both relaxing and exciting. Restorative, therapeutic, and pretty much just blissful. Remind me to tell you about it sometime. Also potentially transformational if a job lead pans out. (I’m trying not to get my hopes up like I did for a previous interview for something I didn’t get, but I am kind of crossing my fingers). A late...

Dear Sugar #77: The Truth That Lives There →
I posted a link to this Dear Sugar column to let friends on Facebook know about this on Thursday, and very strangely, no one except the one friend who wrote me privately bothered to express any kind of concern. Of course, those of you who follow me here know quite a lot about my life thanks to my intermittent over sharing and “personal” tagged posts, so it only felt appropriate to...

Thank You!

i think i like option A because they flow well with the o in your last name. it just looks more uniform.

Unmoored.
That’s the word I’ve been searching for and what I’ve been feeling deep in my bones lately. At sea. Lost. Adrift. Floating. Untethered. A little unhinged. Lots of un’s.
Not unloved and uncared for though. People have really been coming through for me. Yes, they’ve canceled and rescheduled, and sometimes can’t stay on the phone or online as long as I need (want)...

Cool People Are Cool
murmurandshout answered your question: Hey, guys: I’m trying to get my websiteredesigned…
I’d have to go with Option B, because I’ve always preferred that type of aover the other. It’s easier to distinguish from an o.
Thanks for the reblog, Sarah! You’re the best. I love a lively debate around typography and the merits of closed or open “a”s.

Ask. →
I’m probably not sleeping tonight (and have not slept well in weeks now), so if anyone wants to ask me something or even tell me something, please feel free. Nobody ever takes me up on this when I post the link occasionally. Let’s change that?
ETA: I realize some of you are normal people who sleep normal hours. The “ask” link is always there, never used, so don’t be...

“I smoked and looked down at the bottom of Pittsburgh for a little while,...”
– Michael Chabon, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
This struck a chord with me at a time that I really need it. Things are happening. Good things, bad things. Possibly great, big things? I can’t tell you about them until they’re real and not just in the ether, but soon.
