Porn addiction is not the problem. You are.
READ THIS. It’s about porn addiction. And how it’s not a thing. Oh. YEAH. Thank you thank you thank you, science, for saying this shit! Now granted, this was written by the same guy who wrote The Myth of Sex Addiction, a book which makes a lot of good points but gets quite mired down…

A few lil’ thoughts to start your week…
1) Angelina Jolie’s boobs are gone. At least her real boobs are gone. And you know what, awesome. She’s still going to be gorgeous and powerful and do what the fuck she wants, no matter what the hell you may personally think about her. And she’ll do it without cancer. So good for her. Deal…

Vanity Police
My old and dear friend Tom has recently released his latest post-punk album as Vanity Police.

“Why the change?”: Why do I need a reason for a haircut?
So I cut my hair off a few months ago. Last year, actually. During the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. My office in Manhattan had no electricity or phones for a week, so I had no day job. I had some free time on my hands. The subways weren’t back up and running yet, either, so…

Patasola’s Parlor
Last night I read about ten minutes of poetry at Patasola’s Parlor, a monthly reading and performance series coproduced by Lisa Marie Basile and Emily Linstrom, two powerhouse NYC poets for whom I’ve had immense respect for ages. I’ve participated in The Poetry Brothel with LMB for a while now, and have never once failed…
