Not so sure this is empowering.
Too bad using gretchen weiners and david after dentist to define media and the public sphere didn’t successfully get the point across that “i don’t care”.
Greenwich Village Anti-Expansionists Submit To NYU’s Halloween Contest, Probably Won’t Win
NYU is holding a contest to design this year’s ‘Halloween Parade cloth tote trick or treat bag.’ This is historical preservation group GVSHP’s submission. No $500 NYU Bookstore giftcard for them. Plenty of blog cred, though.
The professional world is so overwhelming. I guess my dreams of playing bongos on the beach is secondary to the pull of security, whatever that means.
Online shopping is ridiculously prosaic. And yet here I am…
Anyone who goes to NYU knows about the soon to be world leader, John Sexton. And everyone who knows John Sexton knows how he loves to hug people… Oh and how much of a hunk he is riding the Robot Unicorn from Robot Unicorn Attack out of an explosion…
I originally designed this as a res hall t-shirt design, however it was rejected and never presented as a candidate. I sometimes like to hope that there is indeed a future out there for John Sexton and his Robot Unicorn…
The things you can find on the internet…dayum.
The Washington Post reports that nearly 170,000 Somalis have fled to packed refugee camps in Kenya and Ethiopia since January. In Kenya, about 1,300 people are arriving daily, while an average of 1,700 enter Ethiopia. Most are arriving after grueling journeys along what officials call the “roads of death.”
Somalis have endured two decades of civil war and two consecutive seasons of failed rains. Now, after their livestock and crops have died, and with their babies suffering from malnutrition and food prices skyrocketing, many are arriving at the refugee camps after having abandoned any hope of surviving on their own.
Even worse, any hope of the world helping them is also fading, and it has a lot to do with Al-Shabab, the militia linked to al-Qaida that rules large parts of southern Somalia. Leaders have barred international aid agencies from delivering assistance to regions they control and have heavily taxed ordinary Somalis on food and other goods, exacerbating the crisis. In fact, the militia won’t even admit that a famine is taking place, disputing the U.N.’s reports that tens of thousands of Somalis, mostly children, have died because of it. In reality, the unconscionable position of Al-Shabab is just as undeniable as the crisis itself.

Yeah, whatever. There’s no actual point to all of this. But the universe is still pretty fucking amazing.
