Vuvuzelas for BP // aka: we are wasting your money →
via david and chartier
ugh, really? almost $2,300 dollars to possibly annoy some oil-obsessed businessman?
why is this money not going DIRECTLY to dealing with the oil spill? or the people who are living where it is RAINING OIL. or cute ducks covered in death or whatever. it is raining fucking sludge and people are pooling their money to buy some instruments and try to annoy these guys who will...
i approve of this
jess: nicolor
jess: that should be your name
jess: because you love colors
jess: i just saw your effing nails and matching tanks

technically, you've won the game.
wait all of your life
to find a thing
or a few
and a person
for new,
for you.
finally finding the feeling
you needed to know you could feel
you found your right
and built your world
and with a ring you sealed the deal
what do you do
when where did they go
and the feeling's still there
manifesting alone
but you're all out of luck
and things, the few.
that person,
and time,
to wait

on "we real cool" by gwendolyn brooks →
various quotes and contemplations on the poem, we real cool. it’s like, eight lines long. you have no excuse not to read it. and keep this in mind when you do:
The “We”—you’re supposed to stop after the “We” and think about their validity, and of course there’s no way for you to tell whether it should be said softly or not, I suppose, but I say it rather...
lego heart!
jared helped fix my week-gone-horribly-wrong by presenting me with this last night:
the legos are the clasp! it’s so much fun to futz with.

i don’t even have anything to add to this. just chew on it for a few minutes.

response to previous post re: curviness
in a response to my previous post, free-thought wrote:
So I’m like a size 3 and i don’t work for it. I think it’s rude to say that small people TRY to look curvier, when dresses like that CLEARLY cover bumps and make “curvier” people look slimmer. I don’t have a problem with people being curvy or anything, but i DO have a problem when curvy people insult thin people. It makes them seem...

how to mark up and style a site at lightning speed
well, maybe “really f’ing fast” would be more appropriate. anyway, this is my workflow:
take some time to get familiar with your mockup, especially if you weren’t the one who created it. assess (confidently) what you’ll be doing for the tricky parts. have a plan. spending a good 15 or more minutes doing this will actually speed you up. note: if it’s really...

love and learn and share the process.
unorganized thoughts on "crediting" things online
note: i swear i will get better at ‘making a point’ one of these days…
1. if in your life, you do/plan to go after or complain about every single person who rips your work, you are not aiming very high. when you actually hit the mass-audience you so desperately dream about- you’ll have long stopped giving a shit about people “stealing” (read: posting) your work...

diablocodyisnotevenherrealname:
Very interesting. Not sure how I feel about all of it. Some parts made me very hopeful and others made me cringe.
agreed- i read this the other day. definitely something to be taken with a few grains of salt. (the title alone turns me off) but it is an interesting look at recent data- particularly women, the workforce and education.
update: my note about the...

explosatory, pt II
here is the second part of explosatory, as it was originally written:
part II: something about the neuron explosion archives. they are peculiar, timid. fussy. you can only access them sometimes and you will never be sure exactly how if you can't find that place you are probably remembering it wrong relax take a deep breath let your distracting head-shit go and start over be...
explosatory
this is/was a poem i started a long time ago. i’ve only completed the first section, and maybe the third- but i stumbled upon it last night and figured i should get it on here one way or another.
part I: something about explosions can be held in hands on the brightest nights in the rightest light feel strange at first like there are more individual things touching you than you've...

– Equality Myth: Come On, Do Men Really Make Better Bosses?
i have mixed feelings on this. the statement above, absolutely truthful (from my own experiences) but there is an interesting dynamic with women bosses and women employees- i’ve met women who agreed they’d prefer a male boss. and...
