I remember when I thought people in their 20’s were adults. Now all of my friends are in their 20’s and everybody is just kind of fumbling around bumping into each other, trying to figure out where the free food is……
so that’s pretty much what I’m expecting to experience for the next like 10 years.
the accuracy of this post is alarming.

If I was a famous author I would publish a book with ten different endings which all went to print with varying degrees of rarity, but not tell the fans about it so that I could watch their confusion as they disagree over how the story ended. Then when they figured it out I would ‘come clean’, telling them that I had released eleven alternate endings and watch them panic again as they all try to find the last ending.
This is perfect.

Street Art
Via Nicholas Gunner - Students from the Guerilla, Graffiti and Street Art honors class installed this Pac-man inspired street art early this morning in Reed Library.
Sticky Post-it notes were used to depict Pac-man and one of his enemies, a ghost. Written on each note is a word or phrase describing something that either stresses students out (blue notes) or makes them feel happy (yellow notes). All notes were collected from students at the 2013 Student Research and Creativity Exposition.
“Good things eat the bad,” said one student about the intended message of the piece.
The stress destroying nature of this art fits in perfectly with this week’s “De-stress for Success” initiatives.
The students say the piece was inspired by “Invader”, an internationally known street artist whose works often resemble pixelated video game characters. They say they learned about the artist along with many others in class.
Leesa Rittlemann teaches Honors 224: Guerilla, Graffiti and Street Art. The class aims to offer an in-depth look at art made for exhibition or performance outside of the museum or gallery. The class increases student understanding of contemporary art beyond traditional textbooks and institutions.
“2 other teams created a Moss Graffiti installation and Poetry Bomb respectively,” Rittlemann said. “I thought the Post-It note team did a nice job developing a project that is visually bold due to the neon Post-It hues, visible to all… It also offered a fun opportunity for students to write down their stresses and triumphs in these last busy weeks of the term. The team’s choice of the Pac-man and Ghost symbols worked well with the content and is in keeping with the Post-It note movement in general.”
This piece serves as a reminder that in order to score high this semester, one must not run from their stress, but rather tackle it head on.

so every year after the juniors finish reading The Great Gatsby my high school english teacher throws a Gatsby party at his huge house and everyone shows up in period clothing and Charlestons to 20s music and my english teacher just wears a suit and stands off to the side staring wistfully out the window the entire night

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
Well now that I know this I will and refer everyone to work there.
