Whitney Houston’s death:

Why do we still ridicule drug addicts who clearly need help and then revere them as saints once they pass away? Winehouse, for example. Get them help. Can’t wait for the mourners to change their tunes on (sad examples) Pete Doherty, Lindsay Lohan, etc. They’re people, not punchlines.

Chris Brown at Grammys:

Should not have been invited to perform at the Grammys. The real problem is the cycle of violence and what message his inclusion sends to young women who already don’t value themselves. Buzzfeed post with girls saying they want to get hit. Lack of education and strong role models.

Tweets about not knowing Paul McCartney:

Good god.

A StarKid Is Born: Joe Moses in the New York Times Magazine

Plus, the Joe Moses starter kit. All by me in this week’s magazine!

Shout out to the People’s Improv Theater and to Jaime Lyn Beatty and (especially) to Brian Holden, who gave me an amazing interview that sadly ended up on the cutting room floor. ICU Tessa Netting.

If you’re a Starkid fan and like the Internet Famous piece about Joe, please comment on the Times site! It helps them let me write more about them if the editors see a big response.

Maybe I’ll put some bonus material here if people are interested?

dcpierson:

The other night we sat on the couch

of the house where she’s cat-sitting

and drank wine and watched The Wire

while she mended a hole in the pocket

of some pants I got at Old Navy.

It was like a heaven where you still needed pants.

Kick the walls

Smash the lights

Rip the shades

And I will never be tricked by you

So Many Feelings (via n+1)

An awesome essay on the “ladyblog” phenomenon by Molly Fischer. I’ve talked about this topic on this blog in a piece I wrote a while back called “The Carrot.”

"The fact is, we can no longer tell someone’s financial reality by what they eat, how they dress, and..."

“The fact is, we can no longer tell someone’s financial reality by what they eat, how they dress, and where they grew up. While I’ve technically surpassed my parents in terms of education and advantage, I am still dependent on a restaurant job, and my peers are now considered the first generation of youths to do worse than their parents. Suddenly, we’re all on a level playing field shaking cocktails side-by-side, and my own burdens of privilege-jealousy have come to a dizzying halt, because even the middle class, of whom I had been previously so resentful, are my coworkers and low-income housing neighbors. At this point, I wish I had never attempted to transcend my class with education; it would make life that much neater. For those of us who have taken the leap to maintain or jump our classes—the interns, graduate students, and college-bound—and who’ve come out disappointed, we’re not alone. The permanent poor are right there with us, and this is a good thing.”

- - an amazing, amazing article on GOOD

Speaking as someone who, as an unpaid intern for ‘The Daily Show’ working long hours (privileged), pawned stereo equipment and jewelry just to eat, (poor) this covers everything I’ve wanted to say about being privileged and poor.

We need to stop judging people we deem “privileged” “middle class” and “poor.” It’s impossible to know what’s really going on with someone so please, please stop throwing these around as insults based on assumptions.

Congratulations to everyone at The People's Improv Theater who made a house team today! (Including myself who found out & then ran up my apt stairs in excitement!)

Go for a walk.

Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:42:40 -0500

I left my apartment for no reason today.

I just went outside. I walked whichever way I wanted. I had no errands to run, no people to meet, no jobs to do.

This is the first time I’ve done this in New York City as far as I can remember. I hardly ever do anything that doesn’t have an immediate purpose. Sometimes I forget there’s a whole city outside.

Go for a walk.

Don’t have a destination.

Has anyone on here ever used Skype to do a Ustream with two people in different places or am I basically asking for a holodeck over here?
