Brittani’s Video Party: Hannah Hart Wants to Know if Amy Poehler and HAIM are Gay

Brittani’s Video Party: Hannah Hart Wants to Know if Amy Poehler and HAIM are Gay

Header by Rory MidhaniHeader by Rory Midhani

Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj came together for “Bang Bang” which could have been some sort of mini “Lady Marmalade” situation but, unfortunately, is not. I now find Jessie J annoying and after watching the VMAs, it’s apparent Ariana Grande has negative personality. When I watch her I feel like I’m sacrificing part of my personality to an unknown being.

It’s no secret amongst my friend group that I have an obsessive personality. I get fixated on a particular subject, and I have to know all about it. In my curiosity’s history, this has included tree house construction and theory, urban gardening, the Donner Party, literacy rates during the Great War, prostitution rings in pioneer United States, Virginia Woolf’s letters, urban foraging, tapping…

Fool’s Journey: Ten Tarot Tattoos

Fool’s Journey: Ten Tarot Tattoos

There’s no denyin’ it, tarot and tattoos go together really well. Like sunsets and mountaintops. Like early morning train journeys and headphones full of Bjork. Like re-reading Written on the Body after a break-up. So many symbols! So many pretty pictures! So many feelings! It’s no surprise that the internet is awash with pictures of dark-arts-body-art and arcane needlework.

I’m ashamed to say I…

I Am Struggling With My Opinions Regarding The Following Technology

I Am Struggling With My Opinions Regarding The Following Technology

queer-your-tech-header_FINAL_640web

I really love gadgets, like, most of the time. Most of the time I am all for technology that makes our lives easier. But I also write in a physical journal and much prefer film cameras to digital for the photos that are close to my heart. And y’all know that I truly believe we are always two small steps away from living the plot of a dystopian novel, and the robot apocalypse is something I…

Wilder Hungers: In Defense of Brunch

Wilder Hungers: In Defense of Brunch

From my time in culinary school and all the interactions I’ve had with chefs over the past couple years, one of the most surprising things I have learned about the food industry is that most chefs hate brunch. I guess I understand why they would. People come clamoring into restaurants with a million demands about how exactly they want their eggs cooked. Chefs think the whole bottomless mimosas…

I’ve learned a lot about myself at brunch. It’s that kinda space, y’know? It’s early morning and my thoughts are waking up and I’m caffeinated and drunk at the same time and the food is so good and then — to top it off — there’s awesome company.
