I was just telling my friend about this part of his routine. Sooo true.

So cute to watch this and think, “yep, he’s the father of young girls who are growing up in front of him and he feels helpless.” This mom loves him for that. Even though he’s a man. :D

“But there is no female counterpart in our culture to Ishmael or Huck Finn. There is no Dean Moriarty, Sal, or even a Fuckhead. It sounds like a doctoral crisis, but it’s not. As a fifteen-year-old hitchhiker, my survival depended upon other people’s ability to envision a possible future for me. Without a Melvillean or Kerouacian framework, or at least some kind of narrative to spell out a potential beyond death, none of my resourcefulness or curiosity was recognizable, and therefore I was unrecognizable.”

- Vanessa Veselka challenges the lack of female road narratives. (via millionsmillions)

hypervocal:

A Q & A at Comicpalooza in Texas took a somber turn when a female fan asked Star Trek actor Patrick Stewart about violence against women. The fan, Heather, asked Stewart the one thing he’s most proud in his life that isn’t related to acting. That’s when Stewart launched into a passionate answer about domestic violence. Amazing.

Clement Greenberg’s seminal essay “Modernist Painting” converted to binary code and presented in the same terms in which Greenberg defined modern art.

Evan Steenson, “Source Code for Modernist Painting” (2013), digital, 4724 x 4912 pixels

“Each art, it turned out, had to perform this demonstration on its own account. What had to be exhibited was not only that which was unique and irreducible in art in general, but also that which was unique and irreducible in each particular art. Each art had to determine, through its own operations and works, the effects exclusive to itself.” - Clement Greenberg, from “Modernist Painting.”

Teenager Carves His Own Name Into 3,500-Year-Old Egyptian Relic

A family in Nanjing, China, was left embarrassed and apologetic after their 15-year-old son was found to have defaced an ancient Egyptian relic with the phrase “Ding Jinhao was here.” »

Instead of asking how he was able to do it, I’m more concerned and curious as to why he would.

Carol Burnett to receive Mark Twain Prize for American Humor | LA Times:

Carol Burnett, the trailblazing comedienne whose variety show was a top draw on CBS for over a decade, was named the winner of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on Tuesday.

Oh yeah, I suppose since we already praised Tina Fey for doing all she did, perhaps we should recognize some women who did the same before her. Much too late in coming.
