— "Hipster Racism" via this ain't livin'The very hipster lifestyle is, in Some Ways, racist, and definitely not very introspective when it comes to race. Hipsters Are a driving force behind gentrification, driving out low Income people and people of color. Consistently They co-opt and Other Appropriate elements of cultures, piecemeal, and Often Without Any Respect or cultural sensitivity. Regularly They draw upon the work and legacy of people of color, crediting Usually Without Them, and MOST of Their contact with people of color eat in the form of the service personnel Them Their serving food, cleaning Their wine bars, and picking Their organic produce. Personally I'd take product placement over hipster racism any day of the fucking week. AND IT'S NOT LIKE EITHER ONE OF THEM ARE NEW.

Free Women Playing Bottomless Football —
Tiffany Granath Pregnant learn ... Those events from're Smarter Than You Think
In marketing there is the common concept of “know your customer”, it´s the bottom line to like… everything. I´ve been thinking about this recently when thinking about what the “right” in Nicaragua does wrong, and what the “left”/ Sandinistas do right. It amazes me really that there is so much that the “derecha” hasn’t figured out. Nicaraguans in general have one big problem – they are mentally squared. Nica´s of all ages, races, SES, etc have a really hard time getting out of their own brains. WHAT A PROBLEM. I´ve sometimes thought “well that’s what you learn when you leave Nica” but the truth is I\u0026amp;rsquo;ve met several ppl who have left Nica for years but still suffer from Nica squareism.
The more that I have spent time in poor neighborhoods and towns, the more I’ve realized the reach of the sandi´s. Like I mentioned in my ad campaign post , they are idiots, yet have a substantial level of genius. And why? Cause they know their customers – “el pueblo”. The Sandinistas are full of marketing geniuses.
I spent a while this morning on the website: http://www.elpueblopresidente.com/
First let’s think about what the Sandinistas call themselves - Gobierno de Reconciliacion y Unidad Nacional…

Soulsilver List For Poketex book rec: the death and resurrection traveling show
The story of a troupe of seven performance artists, narrative by a lapsed Catholic Whose "trick" is manifesting stigmata, and What Happens To Them When They get a little too Attention half much. Gore's father is an excommunicated Catholic priest, and her bio says she Grew up rebel historical Attending Catholic church in San Francisco. It shows. The book is interwoven with irreverent Takes on the lives of the saints . (Representative quote: "Thérèse [of Lisieux], You Were Little, pero bad-ass. Teach Me To Be Such an awesome failure.") The Structuring Mythologies Are Equally Catholicism punk performance and the Aesthetic: other performers include a bearded woman with the singing voice of an angel and a drag queen Who Can levitate. It's Firmly rooted in the multicultural, diverse and kind of hippy-dippy world of the West Coast.
Have Been Some books on my radar for years, But I do not get around to reading Them Until later. Some books come along at the perfect time in my life. This book is in Both of Those categories. At this literal, exact moment, I Need To Remember That Catholicism and the joyous, feminist anarchy of punk aesthetics dog mix. Catholics Can Have tattoos too! (So stop looking at me weird DURING mass.)

How Soon Should You Wax Before Holiday after the breakdown, we where standing back up
TYV
are about to tour and release a whole album. I'm not sure I like the new song . This makes me sad.
Fall Out Boy
Patrick Stump: SOLO ALBUM OH FUCK YEAH.
PStump is clearly letting his time-traveling 15 year old self housesit and play around in the music room.
He also made a
short film which they are trying to get into festivals, and which you know spawned a million cute moments like this one
. Also then they took the movie and cut it into a
trailer in which Patrick is essentially slashing himself with a dude I know from high school. My life is fucking weird, y'all. The Damned Things:
Joe Troh and Andy Hurley and Keith from ETID and a bunch of other dudes. It's not really my thing but I'm glad they're getting a chance to do what they love.
Fuck City, Burning Empires: Andy Hurley has a millir, I am impressed because I totally didn't know Greta's voice could sound like that. I think it will grow on me. Hell, I know it will grow on me because Greta is like a little virus of cute and you thought you were immune but you totally weren't.
