“…if I really reflect on how I, a Latina from Las Vegas, was able to become a scientist at an elite university, it wasn’t my own curiosity. It was the influence of a blackjack dealer who also happens to be my mother.”

Radio DJ – Alright now, for all you boppers out there in the big city. All you street people with an ear for the action, I’ve been asked to relay a request from the Gramercy Riffs. It’s a special for The Warriors. That’s that real live bunch from Coney, and I do mean The Warriors. Here’s a hit with them in mind.

Radio DJ – Be looking good Warriors, all the way back to Coney. You hear me babies? Good. Real good. Adios.

Warriors, come out to play!

J. Press York Street.

As someone who grew up in a neighborhood where these colors and patterns weren’t a witty cultural reference, but rather a matter of life and death, I’m pretty uncomfortable with this. The combination of preppy elitism and set tripping isn’t cute, it’s a little bit gross.

I second that emotion. This trend is all bad. Some things aren’t just Americana anymore. #jpressjumpuptogetbeatdown

Pryor via

Pryor, who passed away in 2005 at age 65, didn’t live to see an overly cautious, frequently emasculated black President, although he parodied the concept long before it seemed possible. The comedy he’s best known for was stridently political in a way so intimate and tinged with everyday vulnerabilities that from the vantage point of history it’s possible not to even notice.

-Brandon Harris, Pryor Restraint

Toto's "Africa," as written by Ernest Hemingway.

Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:24:01 -0500

scribnerbooks:

“The air, now thick and moist, seemed to carry rain again. He blessed the rains of Africa. They were the only thing left to bless in this forsaken place, he thought—at least until she set foot on the continent. They were going to take some time to do the things they never had.”

Keep reading.

Strictly for lit heads who remember Toto (the band).
