Jim Gaffigan Can Make Fun Of My Nails
omgstephlol:
I don’t know what this says about me, but I knew people were shitting on Jim Gaffigan before I knew what Jim Gaffigan tweeted to deserve getting shat on. If you’ve been busy not caring about internet bitchfests (lucky!), here’s the offending tweet:
Ladies I hope getting your nails done feels good because not a single man notices you got them done.
HOW COULD YOU, JIM?
Depending on...
As a journalist my secret dream is to play a fake version of myself reporting on a fake tragedy in a superhero movie.

33 Students Suspended For Twerking Video →
Anyone else think these administrators are only having this strong of a reaction because it’s a video of white girls dancing for black boys? Something tells me the same video with white boys would have been seen as “innocent fun.” That’s just my initial gut reaction.

Hemlock Grove is trying SO hard to be Twin Peaks, but even Twin Peaks wasn’t trying to be Twin Peaks so just like, calm down Hemlock Grove. That’s what made Twin Peaks great. It just was.
Edit: Though, I do love the tiny black woman they have playing Agent Cooper. She’s fun.

I look back on the original introduction to this book with a nostalgia that...
– Nora Ephron, Preface to the 1980 edition of “Wallflower at the Orgy”
Nora Ephron wrote a book 1967 and people liked it and bought it, so in 1970 she wrote a new introduction to the book with her thoughts. Then, ten years later, people were still liking and buying the book, so she wrote the quote...

Also, River Song is a girl who lands the TARDIS without the breaks on.
Ten asked 8 people to help him fly it in the season 4 finale, and half of them were girls.
Donna Noble did just fine flying the TARDIS even though she had a vagina.
I didn’t like that line one bit.
True facts.

New Job!
On Monday, I start at The Daily Dot as a staff reporter/writer. I will be writing there every day. For monies and love. You provide the love part.

Myq Kaplan, Chris O’Brien and I are giving advice here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/are-we-best-friends
Come!
Also shout out to the The Boston Globe co-ops undoubtedly working this story. They’re college kids on the news desk (where I used to be) and this can’t be easy for them to have to cover. Please don’t hesitate to talk to someone (a professional, a loved one, etc) about what you’ve seen or to reach out for help if you’re a reporter out there. You could also have PTSD or...
Incredibly nervous that the initial reports of the arrest of the bombing suspect may lead to mass hysteria. Whoever is first to identify the “suspect” may not, in the end, be right. It’s only been three days. Let’s not jump to pitchforks.
Let’s be cautious instead of screaming “First!” I know firsthand the importance and pressure to be the breaking source...

Why do we make the same mistakes over and over again? Why do we find ourselves lying in bed at 2 a.m. crying and flash back to another time we were lying in bed at 2 a.m. crying and realize it’s about the same goddamn thing every single time? Why don’t we fix it? Why don’t we know that we deserve better? That we deserve to never do this kind of thing again. Why don’t we...
Friends in Boston, please let me know you’re okay.
Friends at the Globe, please be safe and do some amazing journalism.

H’okay.
So I’ve gotten some tweets about it and I thought I’d do a little catch up here since I can write more on Tumblr than on Twitter.
As some of y’all have noticed, I’m no longer working for Thought Catalog in an official capacity. I love them. They’re amazing and wonderful and the split is totally amicable — beyond amicable. They’ve been my...
