Do you ever start bullshitting a paper, and then look over it halfway through and think, ’…Wait a minute, I could be onto something here.’

Why you should be reading BITCH PLANET: Louise, head of Shipping/Receiving, just got a Non-Compliant tattoo out of pure love for this fantastic feminist graphic novel series.

Written by Kelly Sue DeConnick and art by Valentine De Landro, multiple staff members love this series following women who have been imprisoned on another planet for not conforming to societies limitations on women. We’ve only got one tattoo…so far. But read the series, and you’ll be wanting to tag yourself Non-Compliant too!

my 20s aren’t my selfish years. my 20s are my hustle decade. Finish school get money pay back my loans establish myself work hard to create the foundation of a good life so that I can enjoy what’s coming next. Like yes I’d love to backpack across India or something but I’m broke! I have bills! I could quit my job take my meager savings and go on a 2 month trip and then what??? no job no home cause I got kicked out for not paying rent lmao

Enough. Maybe your 20s were the funtime years decades ago but not anymore. Don’t feel like you’re wasting your life bc you’re not hitchhiking in Europe or something. You’re doing fine. You’re doing what you can and that’s all that matters.

Portraits of Homeless People Using Libraries

Libraries, “the last bastion of democracy,” are a haven for America’s 500,000 homeless people, where literature, Internet access, and nonfiction can come together to provide respite from the relentless brutality of life on the streets.

In a series of moving portraits of homeless people using San Francisco, Sacramento and San Jose’s public libraries, Fritz Hoffmann tells a visual story of forgotten people in quiet reflection and study, and makes us remember something we’d prefer to forget.
