It’s definitely “john” sorry.
He wrote “jawn” when he put all the lyrics up on RapGenius. (And yes, RapGenius is the worst but it’s what he used.)
Sigh.
“jawn” makes more sense anyway because the meanings coexist (that’s how wordplay works) and it’s...

The DAS system is headquartered in a lower Manhattan office tower in a command-and-control center staffed around the clock by both New York police and “private stakeholders.” When this reporter visited, seats were clearly designated with signs for organizations such as the Federal Reserve, the Bank of New York, Goldman Sachs, Pfizer, and CitiGroup.

annfriedman:
I used to have a very elaborate inside joke with a few other women in media. It was called The Island, and the narrative went like this: All of the editors we know to be sexual harassers or professional bullies are on a plane together, probably heading to some sort of “ideas festival,” when the plane goes down on a small island. There, they are forced to live out the rest of their...
about that stupid cotton production/2008 voting...
bthny:
so high levels of cotton production = high numbers of slaves = large African-American population in 2008 = votes for Obama
but a lot of those blue parts of the map correspond to urban areas, which went disproportionately for Obama (so much so that it seems to make more sense to think of red/blue regions rather than red/blue states, at least in terms of the popular vote)

i wish i could figure out how i felt about pussy riot.
i don’t think it’s cool to mock the church, but also i think it is a bad sign that russia keeps moving back (if it was ever away) towards it’s history of oppressive government. the russian patriarch is always so confusing to me, but i feel like most of the pro-pussy riot support i’ve seen comes so far from the outside that i...

I’ve been thinking about my appearance lately. Not in a vain sort of way accustomed to girls my age (though, #realtalk, I do feel blah sometimes this age supposedly marks my optimal attractiveness). A few weeks ago, I reblogged a page from Joan Didion’s “The White Album,” in which she lists what she packed when she traveled on assignment during her...

“What if all women were bigger and stronger than you? And thought they were smarter? What if women were the ones who started wars? What if too many of your friends had been raped by women wielding giant dildos and no K-Y Jelly?

Although lacking much experience in governing overseas territories, the rules of the newly acquired empire nevertheless manifested the classic mentality of all imperialists: divide the peoples of the world into the powerful and the weak, the civilized and the backward, those capable of governing themselves and those who for their own welfare must be governed.
