A Career in the Liberal Arts

I have a liberal arts BA myself: in History. I got it from an excellent department in a first rate Canadian university. I was privileged to receive that education. I am a better, more intelligent person for it. The real purpose of a liberal arts education is not to give you some piece of paper … Continue reading A Career in the Liberal Arts →

Exceptional

Back in elementary school when I first heard the expression, “we all put our pants on one leg at a time,” I resolved to put mine on both legs simultaneously from then on. It only took a couple of days of doing that before I realized that being exceptional was not worth the effort. It’s … Continue reading Exceptional →

On the Patriarchy

This is a petty gripe here, I know: but what the fuck is with the “the” certain people insist on putting in front of the word patriarchy?Society, the company you work for, and your family may all be patriarchal. I am not saying this does not exist. But it has been taken one step further … Continue reading On the Patriarchy →

Male Genital Mutilation: “It Just Looks Nicer”

Today I’d like to do a quick shout out for the practice of male genital mutilation, or, as it is more commonly known under its tidy little euphemism, circumcision. WTF, people? I get that the practice is nowhere near as brutal or heinous as the female version, but let’s be clear: it is intensely painful … Continue reading Male Genital Mutilation: “It Just Looks Nicer” →

Late teens or early twenties. Out with a few people. Wind up at the apartment of a hot girl en route to somewhere else with a number of other people. Want to fuck her. She’s got her art all over the place. Really terrible acrylics. Close-ups of eyes; mystical crystal light refraction; and various other … Continue reading Artist →

The Power of the Written Word

I want you to picture Hitler. Now think about Eva Braun. Now imagine him eating her pussy. Look real close: he's getting right in there, sliding his tongue up into her, his mustache mingling with her wicked bush.I don't have any reason to ask you to imagine this thing. I just felt like putting the … Continue reading The Power of the Written Word →

Asian Oldsters

There’s this recurring trope in the West about Asian cultures’ respect for their elders and reverence for the wisdom of the aged. This is invariably presented as some kind of positive. Generally in that slightly fucked way that Western ignoramuses use Asia to highlight and juxtapose what they dislike in their own culture. It’s mostly … Continue reading Asian Oldsters →

A Hard Truth

Okay, Westerners, I feel it is finally time to level with you about something. It might be tough to hear this, but I think you can handle it. Just know, I tell you this out of love and a desire to improve the conditions you live it. You are eating salad wrong. Put down the … Continue reading A Hard Truth →
