Lana Del Rey: The Irony Lady →
markrichardson: amyrebeccaklein: I am saddened by the backlash against Lana Del Rey.

This Is Water
“Because here’s something else that’s weird but true: in the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship—be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or...

perpetua: Eric Harvey put this together earlier this month, after he and I got the idea to put this together last year. I’m reblogging again because some people have asked me about it, and because his version is weirdly difficult to find on Google. Read More

Ernest Hemingway - Paris Review
INTERVIEWER What would you consider the best intellectual training for the would-be writer? HEMINGWAY Let’s say that he should go out and hang himself because he finds that writing well is impossibly difficult. Then he should be cut down without mercy and forced by his own self to write as well as he can for the rest of his life. At least he will have the story of the hanging to commence...

– The-Dream keeps it really real. (via pitchfork) This is absolute horseshit. Who are these men? How does a man pose under the guise of “realness” as the victim of some tyrannical monogamy? Why should any person accept any less a degree of commitment from a partner? Simply because one...
