eliotglazer:

Don’t worry, I cued it up to the best part.

The best part: I want to have a beer with him, but I also fully trust him to run the country. Win/win!

The Only Advice You Need

Ramou: It’s hard out there for a young, smart, ambitious lady. Any advice?

Nikki: Know that you are all three and act accordingly.

Sara: Don’t worry about being popular or cool. It’s a giant waste of your precious time. You have an empire to build, so get to it.

“No, it doesn’t feel good. But I know who I am. I’m a proud black woman. A lot of black people are upset. This should be a wake-up call to black people… . People were living in euphoria for a while. People think we’re gone further than we have.”

“Swim practice is all inner monologue. It is lonely and repetitious, and it gives birth to obsessive-compulsive tendencies that germinate in the altered perception of sound and gravity created by the submerged eardrums. You can literally hear yourself think. Even the tiniest grunt, mumble or whisper bounces back into the brain as an amplified sound wave cresting on whatever mood you’re in. And it’s breaking whether you’re ready or not.”

“I will write in words of fire. I will write them on your skin. I will write about desire. Write beginnings, write of sin. You’re the book I love the best, your skin only holds my truth, you will be a palimpsest lines of age rewriting youth. You will not burn upon the pyre. Or be buried on the shelf. You’re my letter to desire: And you’ll never read yourself. I will trace each word and comma As the final dusk descends, You’re my tale of dreams and drama, Let us find out how it ends.”

- Neil Gaiman

“I’ll put this as fairly as I possibly can: he compared insurance companies subsidizing the cost of birth control to the government forcing kosher delis to serve pork. Unbeknownst to him, failure to take pork every day cannot lead to pregnancy, bacon does not regulate periods, and a ham sandwich cannot decrease the number of abortions or promote women’s health. The comparison of birth control to cooked pig parts was effective in one way, though— it showed that the Church utterly devalues women, and views their health care as a recreational afterthought. Want to have some honey glazed ham? Wanna keep from getting pregnant? Same thing!”

I love Amsterdam. It’s a beautiful city with clean air, friendly people, rich history, and a simple public transit system. I’ll probably retire there.

For the first time in 15 years, the city’s canals froze solid. So the entire city went skating…or at least that’s what it looks like.

“If you dream of getting rock star parking in front of the restaurant, the only way you’ll ever get it is if you actually drive by the restaurant. If you keep parking six blocks away because you know that’s where the parking is, then you’re going to have that experience where you walk up to the restaurant and there’s a parking spot there and you’re going to think, “Aw, that could have been mine.” So drive by the restaurant.”

- Stu Maschwitz - Filmmaker, photographer and writer. As heard on the Scruffy Thinking podcast.

I really love this analogy and this whole episode is one of the best conversations I’ve heard about doing what you love, and why that’s not as clean-cut as it sounds.
