Detroit Has to Demolish Before it Can Rebuild →
In its heyday, nearly 2 million people lived here in Detroit; now, it’s fewer than half that. The city is so huge that San Francisco and Boston could fit within its borders with room left for Manhattan.
But a third of Detroit is too scarcely populated to function. Now, more than 10,000 buildlings could be demolished.
"Demolish and Rebuild" Detroit: Fires Burn Nearly... →
State and city officials have been looking for a way to renew the city through an unspecified “demolish and rebuild” program. It had some heads nodding in agreement earlier this year, but such a program would be a political minefield to implement.
You cannot simply demolish a neighborhood that still has some active residents. Openly moving people by force would be a Stalinist tactic.
So while...

The True Story of What Was
A lot of people dismiss Ani Difranco as a smelly righteous lesbian, but I feel the need to say that this (purported) smelly righteous lesbian has written some of the most eloquent, universal truths I have ever heard. Waiting in a massive line at the Secretary of State today, I heard The True Story of What Was again, and I got goosebumps as if it were the first time I’d ever heard it.

A fictionalized version of what just happened at...
The old man who had huffed and puffed his way into the post office carrying a package was speaking to the man behind him. ”You would think they’d have more people working.”
“Well that’s what happens when you let the government run things.”
“Yeah well Massachusetts last night shows what we think about that.”
The previous night was a particularly...

2 Things that Made Me Cry Today
I only slept for about a half hour or so last night as I pulled an all-nighter studying for my Language Development exam (which went pretty well if you’re interested) and when I don’t get any sleep I get really emotionally volatile. So when I found out that Helen Thomas would be recieving an honorary degree at MY commencement ceremony, I started involuntarily weeping with joy while...
WatchThank you internet. Thank you.
Kind of having fun on Witch Island.
Oh my god my life is evaporating while I’m virtual dancing. Come join me! Let’s waste away together!

Maybe I should write a biographical or semi-biographical account of the events of 1998-1999 (junior and senior year of high school). I think it could sell. It could maybe be marketed to gay teens. It was majorly transformative - parents separating, dropping out of and re-enrolling in high school, my first three sexual experiences, my sister’s pregnancy, and the influence of all kinds of...

Logan and I have made up a new game. It’s called “Anything You Say about Georgia O’Keeffe is True.” The idea is to make up as many absurd and slanderous claims about Georgia O’Keeffe as possible, and the other person has to accept them as fact.
The game ends when you become overcome with guilt for saying terrible things about a sweet old lady who loved...

Epic fail.
These two little words are destined to mark the current youth forever as later millennials the same way that “far out” did the boomers.

Eddie will read this textbook.
Yes he will. Watch him open the textbook. Watch him lovingly examine the brightly colored headings. Watch him check out the cracks in the ceiling and gaze longingly at the remote control. Watch him suddenly gain interest in his chinchilla. Watch him feed his chinchilla a raisin. Watch him pick up his pencil and paper and begin to take notes about the incredibly fascinating things he will...
