– John Boehner Defends Crying & Smoking
Funny!
Funny because abortion is a legal medical procedure, and yet John Boehner cannot stop bringing it up! For a vote!
Because I’m sure John Boehner thinks that health insurance should cover him, even though he smokes! And I agree! It should! Smoking is...

Please read this. I don’t want to chop it up and lose the piece’s focus on activists in Mexico or the institutionalized injustice in Mexico and the US.

Books - making my insomnia seem productive since 1978. My mum would often come to check on me before she went to bed, only to find that I was sitting in a blanket fort, reading books by the light through my window. Bless you, sodium vapor light.

I love Ginsberg.
I love Art.
I love those who make art, especially as they fly in the face of reason and society, and even the harshest realities, to make art. Because it’s like breathing - Necessary.
