Oh, what a world that would be. . .

Garfunkel and Oates Music Video of the Day: Riki “Garfunkel” Lindhome and Kate “Oates” Micucci play the same woman at 31 and 29, respectively.

Nailed it.

(Not Safe For Work — explicit lyrics. Also, Riki is a yeller.)

The thing about being 30 is that you feel both of these things basically all the time. It’s… not very comfortable inside my head sometimes.

tomdickins:

A few weeks ago - I asked twitter for suggestions for song ideas - giving myself the challenge of writing a song in ten minutes. Two tweets in particular set the wheels in motion for this song, one was a link to a Wiki page about “Seasonal Affected Depression” - the other was “the story of a coffeemaker and a toaster - theirs is a forbidden love”. 

This reminded me of this very sad, sad barista I met a few years ago. He and his partner had been living together, working together, bought a puppy together… they were in love and wanted to spend their lives together. As his partner’s work visa had expired - and we STILL don’t have marriage equality - they were not able to marry to stay in Australia together.

This was such a fucking awesome way to write a song - a test case, if you will, for one of the ways in which the online community for the album will work. This song wouldn’t have happened without the interaction with people who enjoy my music. 

If you haven’t become part of the project - please head tohttp://tomdickins.pozible.com . If you can spare even a dollar, you can be a part of the album. 

Also - if we hit $20K I am going to be making a super-exclusive, pledger-only covers EP. Everyone will get a download. 

Please spread the word as far as you can.

I’m (expletive deleted) starving.

Celebrity chef Mario Batali • Discussing the diet he’s currently on — he’s eating like he’s on food stamps (an average of $1.48 per meal, or $31 per week) in protest of potential cuts to the federal food stamps program. His family was nice enough to join him in what he calls a conversation starter about being hungry in the U.S. Unlike most people on food stamps, he knows ways to make the best of a bad situation, smartly sticking to foods like lentils, apples, rice, beans, peanut butter and jelly. But the problem is, eating good on a diet like this is tough, so many do not. Think his family’s experiment will be effective? (via shortformblog)

I think this is they key argument for those who think that poor people could eat better if they just tried harder. This guy prepares food for a living and he still cannot manage to do this without feeling like he’s going hungry. This is a problem.
