The seam meets him at a party one night, at a mutual friend’s house & the attraction is, for a change, equal. It’s something beyond the way he speaks: the tone of his voice, gentle and sweet, the way he challenges what I utter, something purer, something just beyond language, pre-cartographic.

Unpaid internships: the most precarious work of all | Toronto Star
Is anybody really goddamn surprised? A generation nobody seems to want to employ is instead offering their skills—by the way, they’re one of the most educated generations to date!—for free, because that’s what people told us we’d have to do to get good jobs (though they told us that about the expensive education, too, and we know where that went). And the same people who told us our educations weren’t good enough to get us in are now exploiting our free, trained labor and we’re still not good enough to hire? I’M SHOCKED.

Bas Jan Ader - Primary Time (1974)
“Depicting the constant reorganization of a flower arrangement, yellow, red and blue flowers in a mixed assortment are constantly swapped and reconfingured until suddenly they are composed entirely of flowers of one color.
The strangest thing about the progression is that its consequence is not obvious: in the lead up to the red arrangement, for example, red flowers are added and removed apparently as often as the other colors.
Like a conjuring trick, you are only aware of what is going on at the moment it happens and it is too late to try and track down the process that brought you there.”

Jörg Colberg, The Problem with Tumblr and Photography (via hyperallergic)
This is precisely why I’m often left feeling overwhelmed by tumblr. I prefer going through folk’s tumblr’s individually; this is why you’ll see my like 5-10 of your posts all at once; it also makes for a more coherent reception of information. Being inundated with images and information, when all I care to do is “catch up” with the latest thoughts and happenings of those I like, makes using tumblr a trying process.

Yes! I was really concerned that after the SOTU excitement died down, lawmakers would forget about the minimum wage thing. Pelosi and two other Dems are backing a bill that would make the minimum wage $10.10 an hour and index it to inflation in the future. HUGE deal.
