On Exits
Yesterday afternoon as I lay in bed, occasionally yelling that I might die*, my roommate moved out the remainder of his things. As he packed up we chatted in this state: him, packing boxes and trotting up and down the stairs, me, laying on my side, wrapped in blankets.

fek:
So, I sent an email to an editor of a ladyblog whose work I quite enjoy suggesting an idea for a semi-regular feature: Boys on ‘Girls,’ wherein a Talmudic analysis of ‘Girls’ is conducted by a ‘Boy.’ All points that have been made about it aside, my jury’s still out on it, but I did think it’d be…

Well guys, it’s been pretty frustrating thinking about this whole #menswear thing as of recently. First off, I wanted to apologize for the venting that occurred yesterday; it seems as if people are just getting more and more idiotic and closed minded, and it just got to the point where I felt like…
