Do not buy anything from @snipes_usa EVER!

Always on the right side of history (except for that time he accidentally dumped shit on people)

Dave Matthews: “I don’t want my taxes to pay for ICE masked thugs to roam our streets and terrorize our communities. Renee Nicole Good, murdered in the streets. He shot her three times in the head. Murdered in cold blood. These people are trying to tell us not to believe what we see. Fuck ICE”

Tonight all these lives converge here
The mosaics of laughter and cocktails of tears
Where fraternal souls sing identical things
And it’s beautiful
It’s rapturous.
It is frightening.

The Life of a Showgirl is out now.

In February 1963, the photographer Don Hunstein took the picture of Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo walking arm-in-arm down Jones Street that would become the cover of 'The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan'. Forty years later, writer @jortved moved into a rent-stabilized apartment on the block and has been watching people recreate this moment — sometimes enthusiastically, sometimes sheepishly — ever since.
