The phrase “A woman’s place is in the home” has defined much housing policy and urban design in American society. The query “What’s a nice girl like you doing in a place like this?” has reflected the prevailing attitude toward women in public, urban space. Both phrases have their roots in a Victorian model of private and public life. The first...
Thought about the cliche “I wish there was a backspace button in real life.” Yeah? I wish there was a way to reconcile or even rescind deplorable actions. Sadly, there isn’t—I’m talking irl— and I guess the next best way is trying to think and act so that future actions will be sans-regret.
God, I’ve been using “damn” has an exclamation so often. I just responded to a message on fb from an older guy tryna hit on me saying “Damn!…[insert rest of message about show]” and it sounded exactly like me. Wonder when that happened

WHY VAN GOGH CUT HIS EAR
Van Gogh and Gauguin were sharing a small room in Arles, France. The evening before the ear cutting incident they were at a Cafe drinking absinthe, a known epileptogenic drink that is now illegal. For no apparent reason Van Gogh picked up his absinthe and threw it at Gauguin. The next day he couldn’t remember having done it. Gauguin told him he was going to go elsewhere, which upset Van...

MOON SHIT
The lunation number represents the number of times the Moon has cycled the Earth since January 1923 (based on a series described by Ernest W. Brown in Planetary Theory, 1933). One cycle, or lunation, starts at new moon and lasts until the next new moon.
The new moon is the moment when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction, meaning that the Sun and Earth are on the opposite sides of the Moon. New...

Joseph Kony is the ultimate boogie man. As night falls, children in Uganda would hide in fearful anticipation of Kony’s kidnappings to enlist the youthful for his child army. Living deep in the jungle, the children are brought to a camp where his supporters are dressed in all white and the children undergo a ceremony of “transformation”. Afterwards, they are supposedly “changed” and obediently...

“Though shot on location in black-and-white, and with an eye to fine details, the film [Schindler’s List] cannot recreate an inhuman reality. We cannot blame it for not showing people actually being gassed, but only for showing them not being gassed; we cannot blame it for not showing the emaciated bodies of concentration camp inmates, but only for showing us the attractive, healthy...

I remember learning about ‘green circles’ when I was younger. Students a couple of grades above would come in with pamphlets and explain the idea. Basically, ‘green circles’ were the social groups you choose to involve yourself in; some are bigger, smaller, wider, separate, interlocked, barely involved and so on. Over the message I received was inclusiveness; I hate...

I was waiting on one side of the street, and someone else waited on the other side of the street. We both saw eachother, and the street signal changed from “stop” to “walk”. Crossing towards eachother, we were on the same path; from far across, we both moved a little in one direction so that we were still about to walk straight into eachother. He smiled and I caught myself...

JSYKIWPU is a commonly used acronym. It stands for “Just so you know, I would penetrate you.” It’s kind of confusing because the “U” should be a “Y” but they refuse to change it.
“The word ‘you’ sounds the same as the letter ‘U’ when you say it so it doesn’t matter, old man,” they say. Either way, it is the highest compliment you can give somebody without using a real form of...
