A thought experiment on the human cost of Security...
claytoncubitt:
I’m not a mathematician, but here goes:
Richard Reid, aka the “Shoe Bomber” death toll: 0 Average number of airline passengers in the United States annually: 660 million, or 5.28 billion since Richard Reid lit his shoe on fire in December of 2001, resulting in the TSA rule that passengers take off shoes in security lines at airports. Assuming an average amount of (dead) time of...
Snapshot: quick questions with Katie West →

Katie West makes tough work. It’s tough to critique because it seems so personal, tough to look at for the same reason. Viewing a Katie West self portrait is like stumbling on a photo meant to be secret, a photograph taken for just one person. For this reason, her photography raises questions about private and public, of the interior lives each of us live...

There Are No Poor White People →
claytoncubitt:
“The charitable interpretation rest on the invisibility of white suffering… It rests on the notion that the white poor are not merely the white poor, but white trash. It’s a formula that straps the anchor of stereotyped black America, to much larger population of white Americans and then drops them in the Mississippi. It’s a con that asks large swaths of white folks to suffer...

WatchI heart the Electirc Six. This video is so NSFW. There’s all kinds of naked ladies in it. No really, ALL KINDS.
Immaturity, Jizz, AIDS, lesbians, science.
MichaelBowman: I think most people have AIDS because of jizz.
MichaelBowman: There's not a giant lesbian AIDS epidemic.
JackScoresby: Yet
JackScoresby: Wait till they learn how to jizz
MichaelBowman: I hope that never happens.
JackScoresby: I'll talk to Sarah about the schematics. She'll have it worked out before Valentines Day mark my words.
MichaelBowman: I must stop this science. This is bad science.
What I meant when I said "You're not real."
I know real people who have become ideals and concepts more than actual human beings.
Certain people have had such an effect on me, or I admired them to such an extent that a long absence elevates them to something like an archetype that just isn’t real anymore.
Once I’ve met them again though, they don’t hold up. It’s expected. We’re human. We have flaws. We...
Today is going to really suck for me, so I want you to go out and do something awesome today. Photograph it, record it, or just write about it to let me in the world know. Or don’t. But do at least do SOMETHING.
Fact:
Joan Jett, of “The Runaways” and “Joan Jett and the Blackhearts” fame, used to be Mike Tyson’s wake-up call on days when he fought.
WatchOK, I’ve said for a long time that Lindsay Lohan, regardless of everything, is a fantastic model. I watched this. It’s amazing. I want to work with her. Don’t judge me. Just… watch. Watch.
Just remember to breathe...
You walk down a familiar route. Maybe to the mini-mart a few blocks down. Maybe to work, or school, or the library, or a local restaurant. You turn a corner and then there’s nothing. No road, no ground, no sky, no light, no air.
And you just sit. People see you but you don’t see them. They talk but you don’t answer back. You feel a chill but you don’t adjust your coat....
I used Tumblr to make me a portfolio, so check it... →
They call holidays an option for a reason.
I heard you’re coming back to life just for the fourth.
And I’ve been catching all your ghosts for every season.
And I pray to God you won’t come back here anymore.

Missed Connection
trixiebedlam:
New York City. He was a guy dressed business-casual with a blue messenger bag, walking south on 5th Ave alongside his daughter on a pink scooter. She was heading north, mid-20’s, long blondish hair, off season tan, business-casual in a black skirt and black flats - the two of you crossed paths just off the SE corner of 15th St. I was waiting for the light and happened to see first...
