Just a plain old philosopher —aesthetics and status, games and play, humor and joking around. I am a moral project. Mad columbus crew fan. Surfing newbie. Typos are a sign of genius

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Then they came for Teen Vogue…
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
