Favorites: Survival Guide to Homelessness

This blog is old, and perhaps seemingly irrelevant at first to the ridiculously privileged (see: most of us), but I find poignancy in almost every post–and, sometimes, outrage at the ways in which society dehumanizes the homeless. (You can’t sleep in your car if you feel like it? Really? What kind of anti-American bullshit is [...]

Favorites: 25 and Over

I love this article about how to act like a grownup. (Thanks, Jul, for the link.)
The only thing I disagree with philosophically is that I’ve never felt that thank-you cards are necessary. I have never had a problem accepting a heartfelt thank-you offered in person or a sincere e-mail of gratitude; I don’t think we [...]

Favorites: Irretrievably Broken (again, but whatever)

I love this post from Irretrievably Broken about looking back on your divorce decisions in retrospect and reconnecting with your ex in a new way. Good stuff.

HOLY CRAP.

This video of an insanely awesome jump-roping team is long, but just when you think these crazy em-effers can’t top themselves, they totally do, and if you hang on all the way to the end, you’re rewarded with … oh, I won’t ruin it, but it involves a mascot. Also, I think I just found [...]

Mint.com ruined my life. You should let it ruin yours, too.

Have you ever registered for Mint.com, that site that helps you track your spending? If not, I need you to understand that logging into that site, each and every time you do it, is a radical act. I think I would rather take my chances with that scary death-video that made everyone so unphotogenic in [...]
