A straight white man goes into the jungle and stumbles across a beautiful iridescent beetle, completely unfamiliar to him. “What the fuck, is this some kind of tumblr social justice shit?”

Camp Songs, Oppression, and Inclusion (Part 1, Why do Camp Songs Matter?)
Anyone who’s spent time at camps know that camp songs are the shit. You know them or you learn them, and a good time is had by attempting to figure out exactly how quickly you can sing the bungalow song. And, at the same…
so i work at a summer camp and
today I was walking with the kids across the street to go to the FIA and it takes longer for all of them to cross than the walk light so we have a staff people stop traffic…
so I taught the kids to chant
“WHO’S STREETS?/OUR STREETS!”
Torch Bar’s burger was ranked at mlive as among the top ten in the state, and I am enthusiastically not mad about it.
I only read this to make sure Stella’s was on there. pffft #5
I eat at the Torch sometimes with my professor from Turkey and he doesn’t believe in frys so he gets a Torch Burger with a side of Torch Burger
Now & Then
NONA
I don’t know how I found this band. Been #1 in my tabs since the last time I closed Chrome, which must’ve been over a month ago. This always happens. Links fester and I promise I’ll get around to them as soon as I can, opening new tabs to new distractions all the while. How did I find you, NONA? Maria? Everett? Daniel? Calvin? Dayna? Pitchfork? Who’s my inside line on Pennsylvanian indie rock? Maybe this is the ideal way to hear a new band. No context. No clue.
good band, good peoples, only punx I have ever met who care about golf

POP FEMINIST PERBLOG: I know the purpose of telling myself over and over again “$250” is... →

I know the purpose of telling myself over and over again “$250” is that that’s a stupid tiny amount of money to pay to have a place to live (esp a lovely place to live) and it’s supposed to convince me that I shouldn’t worry about it too much because I know based on empirical evidence…
I feel this so hard… like I now have 2 jobs and at each of them I make the a months rent in one day… but that’s also because I live in Flint and work in Bloomfield Hills, (and also work in Flint)…
if I start thinking about paying rent it gets really scary… money in general is really scary but it makes working so much better because I can tell my self if I can just make it through the next 10 hours (2 of which I get time and a half) then I will have a place to live (and cats to chill with) for a hole month.
also my friend who I work for at like special events and stuff buys me Amy’s samosa’s, and my other job I get to eat with the kids so I get 3 snacks a day, and like all the left over vegetables and chips and stuff.
if not for student loans and car insurance I could potentially start saving money, because while things are going well right now if I ended up in jail again or paying court fees or having to take care of someone in an emergency I would be kinda screwed.
Might not have the best relationship with my dad but I’m kinda into fathers day this year because I was able to find a record of the band his best friends were in from the 60’s… and like they suck and everything but like my dad is doing mid-life crisis the best

stuff is actually working out great
So the situation with me and Intel now is actually pretty great. I went and talked to a lawyer and he basically said not to trust anyone ever and that everyone is out to get you… and that is pretty much my goto response to a any situation but I think between that and the pure shell shock of the situation, I wasn’t able to really appreciate what I’m getting.
I mean they are giving me a lap top and a phone and moneyz and letting me plan a trip pretty much anywhere in the world to learn more about stuff that I care about.
and it is obviously frustrating to go somewhere and be worried that nobody really wants you there, only to later find out that maybe you were right… but like just because people don’t want me at there things dosn’t mean they are evil or whatever… maybe they feel the same way about me being in there spaces as I do about new yorkers coming to my spaces…
They guy who I was working with on all this stuff was pretty great and basicaly just let me yell at him for an hour on the phone last night and was supper nice and apologetic and I get that he is in a shitty situation too so…
I’m still pretty shaken up… but now I get to go to the AMC and not have to miss working at my awesome summer job as a professional hang out with kids and do awesome crafts person (also it’s through the state so the money is ridiculous. and I get 10 hours of overtime every week so I’ll be able to pay rent for the whole year with the money I make working for 2 months)
also I’m looking at different trips that I could do and it has to be through legit groups so that limits a lot of what I want to do but it’s looking like I will do a 2 week (yuppie style) bike tour and then 2 weeks of volunteering at a school, farm or orphanage. either in ecuador, kenya or india… so like everything is coming up millhouse
when it comes down to it 2 months ago I felt like I bombed an interview and was ok with walking away at that point and now I got to go see L.A. meet some fancy people and I’m still getting to go on a trip and all the swag. so I’m pretty pumped about the hole thing

it’s no secret that I’m not a big fan of the way people celebrate military service as if it is some how the ultimant way to serve your country… because A. there are all kinds of ways to serve a country many of which I think are more important than military service and B. I don’t beleave in serving a country (or in the validity of states in general)…
buuuuuuuuuuuuutttt… I am never not pissed about the way the military tricks kids into joining by promising the moon and stars and then more or less abandons those kids when they are done being exploited… it is our responsibility as community members to take care of those who the system failed and the system fails vets in a big way, so we should do what we can to help them (not because they are great …most vets I know are complete assholes … but because often times they are not given the resources they were promised.
I think techshop is good people, and I think it’s cool that they are doing this… I don’t know too many vets (because like I’m a jerk or whatever) but if you know people please send this info there way
