This is clearly the only way you should dance to the drop in Skrillex’s “Nice Sprites and Scary Monsters.”

It’s more than a week since Steve Jobs sadly passed away, and outside the Apple Store in Tokyo’s most famous shopping district of Ginza, tributes continue to pile-up in the form of flowers,…
what makes one of these hairstyles ghetto?
i love this post. ghetto seems to always come out of people’s mouths to refer to something/someone african/african american. when you even THINK of the term ghetto you think black people. Just keep the word out of your mouth period. Just stop using it
*crickets*
I love this. This was the point I was making the other day, with blacks experimenting with different hair colors. Love this post.
not only “ghetto,” but what gets termed “creative,” “daring,” “experimental,” “ground-breaking,” “artistic,” etc. what is recognized as cognizant, informed and self-directed artistic product and what is written off as base instinct, incorrect, and reactionary. what/who has intelligence and what/who doesn’t. what/who is legitimate and what/who is not.
All my feelings.
My name is Molly Crabapple. I’m an artist, comics creator and the founder of Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School, a company that runs alternative drawing events in 140 cities around the world.
Molly Crabapple is not my birth name. I chose to use a different name when, at 19, I began working as a naked model. Working in the sex industry is stigmatized, and using your legal name online puts you at risk for stalking and harassment. It may also be a risk to your family. By the time I had retired from modeling, Molly was the name I was called by almost everyone, on and off-line, and I’ve kept it ever since.
Anonymity online is an important protection for anyone who may receive persecution from their community- be they a Chinese dissident, a corporate whistle-blower, a trans-person, or someone with a sexual orientation or a physical condition that is marginalized.
Anonymity allows difficult truths to be said without persecution for the speaker. It allows honest discourse, self-determination, the free spread of information, and protest against repressive regimes.
While bullying is a real problem, forcing a “real names” policy on all internet users does more to harm, say, Iranian protesters (who are at risk for torture and death if their identities are found) than it does to help American middle-schoolers.
The “real names” policy is something that’s only workable for the most privileged members of a society, whose lifestyles are already exactly what’s publicly approved of.
My name is Molly Crabapple. My name is me.

As expected, I received a flood of responses to Monday’s question on paying the bills. In addition to hundreds of site comments (I posted at least half that came through, but it’s tough to…
