If you trust that you have a good palate -- that you don't like crap -- then you can trust that when you've made something to fit your taste, that there will be many many people who agree with you.

Police continue to make arrests at Ferguson protest.

Part 4.

Take note: The moment people stopped reblogging and tweeting and writing news articles and calling attention to Ferguson, they brought back the armored cars. It is not over. They were waiting for the world to lose interest and knew it would.

Today’s the day. The day you help save the internet from being ruined.

Ready? 

Yes, you are, and we’re ready to help you.

(Long story short: The FCC is about to make a critical decision as to whether or not internet service providers have to treat all traffic equally. If they choose wrong, then the internet where anyone can start a website for any reason at all, the internet that’s been so momentous, funny, weird, and surprising—that internet could cease to exist. Here’s your chance to preserve a beautiful thing.)

Tonight in Ferguson, Mo. Even CNN is calling out police brutality.

We are watching history unfold. Do not stand down. Spread the word.

No justice, no peace.

i took the subway by myself for the first time last night I WAS VERY BRAVE.

[twentysevenjesses]

i live in toronto now!

I moved to Toronto this weekend! I am writing from a starbucks because I do not have internet in my apartment yet. I have only recently acquired cutlery and the other night attempted to eat a mac and cheese using beer bottle caps. The beer bottle caps themselves were removed on a door frame. 

I am very excited! And overwhelmed. I feel like I will be going home any day now but I supposed this is my home now.

IT'S PRETTY NICE.

Octopus Pie by Meredith Gran is one of my favourite webcomics running today. I have been reading it for years and I keep being surprised and delighted by the character development that is so gradual and subtle that you don't even quite realize it's happening until you take a few moments to look back. It is hilarious and sharply satirical and completely spot-on accurate on what it's like to be in your twenties and trying to "figure it out", if you will, with yourself and your friends and your job and all your conflicting desires and successes and insecurities.

Meredith Gran consistently makes me laugh and then keeps hitting me with these little truths and insights that make me take a knee and think hard about my life REALITY STYLE.

Anyway she did it again today!
