Hipsterism and post-hipsterism are synonymous with irony. Cool, urban youth wear...
– Die Already, King Kong Racism: Lady Gaga Edition | Racialicious - the intersection of race and pop culture (via guerrillamamamedicine) (via jadedhippy) (via ihatethismess)
Interesting. BUT, there’s no way that much thought goes into their fashion selections.

– In Which We Teach James Cameron a Thing or Two, by Lauren Bans (via youmightfindyourself)
YES YES YES. Agreed. I never posted my review of Avatar but this is exactly what I felt it was portraying. Definitely a “FUCK YEAH, ‘MERICA!” film. (But still sweet as hell to watch!)

I had a lot of great conversations during the four extra days I was stuck in Athens. Mainly with my beautiful friend Max, I discovered I want to work on these things in the new year:
1. Stop consuming so many unnecessary goods. Clothes, paper (toilet paper, kleenex, paper towels, white printer paper, etc), out of season/non local foods.
2. Stop being such a typical girl - stop judging others so...

“You show me a capitalist, and I’ll show you a bloodsucker.”

Roasted brussel sprouts and pasta (brussels, shallots, garlic, lemon juice + melange of spices)
Pasta with braised kale (pasta, kale, garlic, onion, lemon juice + melange of spices)
Homemade hummus
Curry rice
