A good thing to do if you’re full of rage, unhappy, depressed, bad on the bus today, whatever, is to look back through your photostream, find strangers in the background, and actively spend a minute hoping they’re doing well. Sometimes this is the only thing that calms me down.

I’ve seen a lot of people making the argument that Joe Paterno’s legacy shouldn’t be tied to the sex scandal that engulfed the last 12 weeks of his life, abruptly ending his career in disgrace. The man coached a college football team for almost half a century and he did it well. He won a lot of…
Can I make an auto reply link to this for any Paterno apologists on Twitter and FB?

Last night at Freddy's
We went to Fuck Hill in the shaggin’ wagon. We decided to dedicate our lives to synchronized swimming. We got a shit part in HMS Pinafore. We hated his haircut but loved his armpit hair. We broke our toe during secret cheerleading practice in the basement. We saw him at Pizza Paul & Mary. We grew out our Rachel. We Frenched. We took the hand of the demon.

A letter to 14 year old me about marriage, written...
