Amy Winehouse
I don’t get the gist of the argument that somehow she doesn’t deserve our grief because she was so fatally flawed. God knows that I could have wound up dead in a ditch on multiple occasions due to my own poor choices. She was broken, certainly, but many of us in this community are equally broken in different ways.
She made bad choices, but she was still a human being. She shared a...
There goes that idea.

Fuck. This. Noise.
Religious zealots shooting up a bunch of kids at summer camp. Eric Cantor and Jim Boehner threatening to destroy everything, all just to prove to the Tea Partiers which of the two has the bigger dick. Crops rotting on the ground and food prices skyrocketing because small-minded bigots have chased away the only souls willing to work hard enough to gather in the harvest. People griping because TV...

Jerk Ethic - The Hardest Goodbye
Ainsley, on letting go of those who trust us most:

At least with my mother she was human, she could communicate with me, and we could cry together knowing precisely what was going on. We had five months following her diagnosis...

Things I can do
I can work a shovel pretty well, so that the guy working the backhoe doesn’t slice into any underground electric or gas cables.
In August I can take you to a place on a mountain where the Perseid Meteor shower will leave you speechless, and then kiss you on the back of the neck so softly that you forget the stars falling over your head.
I can drive a tractor and help make hay in early...
Friday lunch dates that don't wind down till after...
I'll be all beardy again by next weekend, don't...
And I’m still doing the freelance thing, too, if anyone needs portraits, copy-writing, websites, domains, webhosting, etc.
