notwithstanding the foregoing

in any given set, i will like the most ridiculous or surreal example. i like bright colors and shiny things. i do off-broadway theater, and think about it often. also slightly obsessed with television, music, feminism, knitting, politics. and hello kitty.

NYPL’s Fort Washington Library made the news earlier this year when it received an overdue book. A 54-year-old overdue book! After its 15 minutes of nationwide fame, the branch continues to be a local celebrity every day. So why not stop by and sign a letter to support this branch and its fellow libraries throughout the three boroughs. You can help us stop the City’s proposed $47 million dollar budget cut!

This beautiful photo of the first floor of Fort Washington Library is currently on display at Mid-Manhattan Library’s third floor. And at the same library on June 1st, you can meet photographer Elizabeth Felicella and hear all about her experiences photographing the public libraries in all five boroughs.

This is my branch! It’s awesome!

This dude was happily taking pictures of girls legs, feet and whatever else he pleased without their consent. So I snapped my own pic and said “enjoy the internet motherfucker’. He laughed at me. Plz share. #publicshame #newYork #subway

Gif vs. Jif

“The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.”

- George Washington

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

hearts in my eyes.

It’s pronounced Dgif … the ‘D’ is silent.

Even more seriously, there’s no dirty business allowed. You can’t include “pornography or offensive depictions of graphic sexual acts” if you want to sell through Kindle Worlds. Does Amazon even understand the point of fan fiction? Why bother if you can’t lovingly depict sadomasochistic encounters between Megatron and Optimus Prime?

I have not read the article yet but the pictures ALONE, man.

Will never not have a thing for this guy.

“It is a soft ‘G,’ pronounced ‘jif.’ End of story.” - the Creator of the GIF →

Finally! I knew I had it right all along! Whew.

I mean, duh. I can only surmise that the people who thought it was a hard G are vodka drinkers.

Me?

I prefer gin.

This is the only defense of the soft G that I accept. But mostly I don’t give a shit.

This is Allen Ginsberg’s reading list for his class, “Literary History of the Beats.” (Yes, he is on it.)

Poets!

(Actually, despite my usual annoyance and dislike of “dude writing”, I find the Beats really interesting. It’s the culture of shit inspired-by and about the Beats that I can’t stand. And Kerouac. He’s the least interesting.)

Kenny Cosgrove’s got some moves.
