Fat Twinks, Rage and Dancing Like Black People
You’ve just got to love the searchabilityness of the interwebs. We say it all the time, but NOTHING get’s lost on this thing. Every bobble of information, every bit of conversation, every off handed tag you’ve ever tugged is always there somewhere lurking, ready to pop up on a search engine in all it’s embarrassing glory. It’s kind of like your mom showing up at your office with photos of you as a kid in your Spider Man underoos. Good thing I was a cute kid. (more…)
Spells, media and male feminists: new interviews
So now that Oakland Local’s out of the gate and in the race I’ve been getting back into the swing of reporting after spending most of the year on marketing projects. It’s amazing how a few months can add dust to your dancing shoes, but I figure I’ll be back to fighting weight and ready to clean off a place on the mantle for a Pulitzer by, um, realistically, next Tuesday.
But in the meantime I’ve been grabbing lots of impromptu interviews (which I’ll get around to posting soon) in addition to more structured dealies. Lots of talk about art, media, journalism, and the general grappling with the WTF world that we do around these parts. A lot of the interviews were for Oakland Local but of course my alter ego-The Long Winded Inquisitor-made sure to cover enough ground to be able to chop, screw and parse till my little editor’s heart is content. I like the idea of a longer book project, but then so does everybody else, so we’ll see how that goes.
For right now just check a couple of edited pieces that I have up now. I’ll be posting more regularly and figuring out what to do with the raw (rawr baby) material. (more…)
Coloured is better
Good morning,
Watch this. It’s hilarious. Don’t think about it too much about it though. Just laugh.
