A highly valid viewpoint: In this digital age, it’s so easy for the boundaries between fans and creators to erode… while this can be a good and fun thing, it’s also important that creators don’t feel obligated to put their whole lives on public display. They have a right to their priva—
Justin McElroy: HEY everyone just a reminder that my VASECTOMY is THIS THURSDAY
Maleeka Madison is a strong student who has had enough of being teased about her “too black” skin and handmade clothes. So when she starts seventh grade, she decides to adopt a sassier attitude and a tougher circle of friends. The last thing she expects is to get “messed up” with another “freak,” but that’s exactly what happens.
After a new teacher, whose face is disfigured from a skin disease, enters her life, will Maleeka be able to learn to love the skin she’s in?
the 20th anniversary edition of @sharonflake’s THE SKIN I’M IN is out today! Follow and reblog for a chance to win a copy of the book, and read our Q&A with Sharon here.
Recorded for posterity’s sake. Some songs are mostly just for a line or two. Some the whole song.
1. Another Winter in a Summer Town (Grey Gardens)–Really just the “Oh god/my god” part at the end. Doubles also because I went to see him in this show four times.
2. It’s Over, Isn’t It? (Steven Universe)
3. Time Heals Everything (Mack and Mabel)
4. On My Own (Les Miserables)–”Without me, his world would go on turning.”
5. I’m Thru With Love (Some Like It Hot)
6. Like It Was (Merrily We Roll Along)
7. I Miss the Music (Curtains)–This is an odd placement considering this one is the one I feel the strongest.
8. Goodbye to You (It’s not FROM Buffy, but I think of it as a Buffy song) To break up the stark tragedy I feel from I Miss the Music.
9. The Man That Got Away (A Star Is Born)
10. We Do Not Belong Together (Sunday in the Park With George)–”And we should have belonged together. I have to move on.”
11. When She Loved Me (Toy Story 2)–I might take this off, but also I might not.
12. My Man (Funny Girl)
13. Not a Day Goes By (Merrily We Roll Along)
14. I Dreamed a Dream (Les Miserables)
15. Where Do We Go From Here? (This one actually is from Buffy)
16. The Winner Takes It All (ABBA)
17. Now You Know (Merrily We Roll Along)–This is important. It’s vaguely hopeful about the future without being too hopeful, if you know what I mean. Gotta end with the possibility of living through it.
DAY 7: More postcards! I finished my list from https://postcardstovoters.org. I think I’m taking tomorrow off from postcards – to give my hand a break and because I need to switch it up.
I’m going to try to convince some friends to volunteer with me…
THE GOOD PLACE MEME› [8/7 characters] Simone Garnett. “What we do is, we make a lengthy incision for your eyebrows to the nape of your neck, and we peel your face back, right, and slice your skull open, and I just randomly stab at your brain with an electrified needle. The fun part is, you’re awake the whole time.”
you know how people say ‘cursed post’ ‘cursed image’ etc you know what’s a cursed vine? that fucking vine of the nickelback song edited to have him say “look at this graaaaph” and he holds a powerpoint graph up. the fucking vocal equivalent of photoshop. the fact that they use the part of the video where he’s just weirdly staring at the camera. the fact that the music keeps playing with no vocals. it’s fuckin darksided y’all
Managing to fit any awkward silence into 6 seconds is a talent unto itself
