I’ve had an AT&T contract since boarding school, but year after year (and price increase after price increase) I just finally had enough. I canceled it. Walked away. Washed my hands and went off the grid.
Now I have Ting. And I hope this little experiment works out.
Valerie Coleman, flute Toyin Spellman-Diaz, oboe Mariam Adam, clarinet Jeff Scott, french horn Monica Ellis, basson
Woodwinds, STAND UP!! I played oboe, flute & clarinet all through school. Those were some of the best days of my life. Also, the oboe is difficult AS FUCK to learn but majestic once mastered. That shit paid for my college.
I was sitting across from Monica Ellis on the subway a few days ago. I didn’t know who she was until this showed up on my dashboard, but I’m 10,000% positive it was her because I could not stop staring at her. She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen in my entire life. I just wanted to know what her life was like and what she was carrying with her and I am BOUNCING WITH JOY that *this* is her life.
I’m paraphrasing and drawing conclusions here, but I can’t imagine another endgame George Zimmerman’s defense is going for by trying to get Trayvon Martin’s text messages released as evidence in the trial. They are trying to blame the victim and portray him as an angry black juvenile delinquent to somehow justify the fact that Zimmerman is a cowardly racist.
Things you probably didn’t know about this boss lady, Joyce “Fenderella” Irby.

Crashed into the river with cars and everything on it. And my friends give me side-eye whenever I’m going across a bridge white-knuckled with my eyes closed. This is America and we have a real crusty old crumbly infrastructure okay? These things happen.
Buzzfeed has a timeline of our recent spate of gay attacks here in the city. The gay community here is upset and ready to fight back and organize patrols and gangs and protests in response, but really, none of those things would have prevented any of these attacks from happening. I keep seeing “bash back!” on social media from enraged gays….but what does that even mean? Are we going to beat up on people who look like they might be homophobic before they can beat up on us?
Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon are still together.
