Any advice for a 21-year-old who hates their job and has the possibility of traveling the world? And has a boyfriend that they like. (This is for a friend.)

Go do it. Fuck him. Is he a guy in his 20s? Then he's the least significant type of person on the planet. A male in their 20s? Run in the opposite direction. Nothing he says matters; his fears, his hopes his dreams are garbage. Men in their 20s are the worst thing happening on our planet. Go, go to Uzbekistan, go to South Korea, just go anywhere he isn't because men in their 20s are bad for young women.

So what do women in their 20s do?

Masturbate. Date other women for a while. Use men sexually for a while but don't ever invite their opinion or be bound to them in any way. - Rob Delaney in the Guardian

"If you're an able-bodied straight white male, you are by definition a member of the least number of systemically oppressed groups. It takes an entire blog post for me to make you feel diminished and misunderstood (my bad)—but you could do that to me or a gay person or a trans person or a person of color or a disabled person with just a word. Because you get to live your life on the firm ground of being a human being first and a man/white person/comedian second. I don't get to do that. I'm not a person, I'm a woman, which is something I'm reminded of incessantly any time I enter a male-dominated space like a comedy club." - Lindy West on Jezebel about Male White Comedians, but it might as well be Every White Male Ever

FILTHY LUCRE

Not talking about money is a tool of class war. A culture that forbids employees from comparing salaries helps companies pay women and minorities less.  - Molly Crabapple for VICE talking about Money, I'm all about this.

Story behind the story

"“It’s personal and I don’t talk about it, but I met a girl in Philadelphia in 1989, and we ended up spending the night walking around, flirting, doing things you would never do now. I was at that stage in life where I was open, so we just walked and got to know each other. I remember, even as we were walking, thinking, ‘This could be a movie. Not the intrigue that happens after people kiss and sleep together, but this, this period of learning about another person.’ Which is probably what makes me a boring partner and boyfriend in the real world — throughout history! I’m never quite there for people, I’m never quite present. I’m always somewhere else.” - Richard Linklater on Before Sunrise

Dusty Stacks of Mom: The Poster Project

Dusty Stacks of Mom: The Poster Project TRAILER from Jodie Mack on Vimeo.

I had the pleasure and the privilege of seeing Jodie Mack's: Dusty Stacks of Mom: The Poster Project, at one of Toronto's best film festivals, Images Festival, with live Jodie Mack performance alongside. It was honestly one of the best most inspiring film experiences I've had in ages. She's a genius, and it made me feel like a genius for living in Toronto, going to Images and choosing to see her film (which I mean as a compliment to her and Images for their great progamming).

Sometimes it just feels like fate y'know?
