I Am So Fucking Tired of Listening To Women My Age Complain About Being Old and Washed
In honor of my recent birthday at the end of Aries season, here’s an essay about the pleasures of getting deeper into your thirties and the pernicious obsession with female abjection in cinema.

Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

I enjoyed learning that if a moose ever decides to kill me, it was meant to be, fated in the stars, foretold in the ancient moose texts. It was always going to end this way and really, the moose would be setting me free. Oh also, they enjoy swimming! How neat!

About Briana Boston: This is what prison abolitionists have been trying to tell us. Prisons don't exist to lock up "bad people," they exist to lock YOU up as soon as you realize how dangerous the system is and try to resist it. Police budgets are rising along with inequality, it's not a coincidence

For some random reason I can't put my finger on, I've been thinking a lot lately about the jurors in the Martin Shkreli trial harpers.org/archive/2017...
Screenshot of transcript excerpts from the jury process for Martin Shkreli's 2017 fraud trial.

Juror no. 10: The only thing I’d be impartial about is what prison this guy goes to.

The court: Okay. We will excuse you. Juror 28, do you need to be heard?

Juror no. 28: I don’t like this person at all. I just can’t understand why he would be so stupid as to take an antibiotic which H.I.V. people need and jack it up five thousand percent. I would honestly, like, seriously like to go over there —

The court: Sir, thank you.

Juror no. 28: Is he stupid or greedy? I can’t understand.

The court: We will excuse you. Juror 41, are you coming up?

Juror no. 41: I was looking yesterday in the newspaper and I saw the defendant. There was something about him. I can’t be fair. There was something that didn’t look right.

The court: All right. I’m going to excuse you. Juror Number 59, come on up.

Juror no. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because —

The court: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty?

Juror no. 59: It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people.

The court: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir.

Juror no. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.

if only more white people did this. instead of getting huffy about a term, learn what it means and why it exists.
"When I first heard Missing White Woman
Syndrome, I didn't like the phrase and I didn't
know anything about it, to be honest," Joe tells
PEOPLE in an interview.

However, Joe quickly realized that it was "a real
thing," he says.

"You start looking at stories that go mainstream and they always seem to look the same - and that needs to change," he says. "Everyone deserves the same attention, and every story deserves the same type of assistance."

If we want better fashion culture in the US, we have to lower the cost of housing and commercial real estate, support independent craftspeople, build denser neighborhoods, improve walkability, and get rid of overly restrictive zoning laws. Let kook culture thrive.

Cattelan (banana-on-wall artist) says “However, art, by its nature, does not solve problems — if it did, it would be politics.” I as always counter with Brecht, “Art is not a mirror held up to reality but a hammer with which to shape it.” The absurd spectacle of wealth in itself isn’t novel.
