And a couple more pictures from the holidays.

“The atheist,” a Chasidic rebbe once said, “serves God. How so? When a believer is told, ‘There are hungry people out there,’ he says, ‘God will feed them.’ When he is told, ‘There are homeless people in our midst,’ he says, ‘God will shelter them.’ When, however, an atheist is told, ‘There are hungry people out there,’ he says, ‘I must feed them.’ ‘Homeless people in our midst? I must house them.’ Turns out, the atheist does God’s work!”

Go Maine, combatting puppy mills!

Five years ago, I thought I was moving back home

It's been almost seven years since I graduated college, and I still get really uncomfortable when someone tells me there's "a difference between a black person and a n-----." You know what, you douche? There's a difference between you and me, too, in that I don't think it's okay to use that word, and you're an ignorant fucktard.

I miss being in a community where it wasn't okay to say, "that's so gay" meaning "that is inferior."

It boggles me that moving home to north Jersey meant I was surrounded by rednecks. And rednecks with Vuitton bags and Armani jeans, at that. I can't wait to leave.
