austinkleon:
Vice President Joe Biden, in a moving speech to families of fallen troops on Friday, recounted the dark days following the tragic deaths of his wife and daughter and talked about having thoughts of suicide.

turnabout:
A gay couple first attempted to marry in 1970, just a few months after the famous riots outside the Stonewall Bar in New York City; but marriage was not then taken up by the gay-rights movement. Matrimony seemed not only out of reach but out of touch with the liberationist, libertine ethos of the time. We were supposed to be breaking the fetters of conventionality, reinventing...

I asked the class if they knew who Maurice Sendak was, and none did. I asked if any of them knew the book “Where the Wild Things Are,” and a few said they’d seen the movie. In 1993, Sendak told NPR, “Children surviving childhood is my obsessive theme and my life’s concern.” In a 1986 interview with Gross, he said, “Being a child was being a creature...

advice on moving to los angeles →
this is one of the only versions of this very common blog topic i’ve seen that gets at the heart of what from outside can look a lot like people being shallow. i LOVE los angeles - living here, working here, how everyone has ideas about what they want to do and be. i wrote a screenplay that was underneath not even about gender or sexuality or my love of pop music as much as it was that...
