Pigeon Report
Soc meedz was all aflutter this month over a rainbow-colored pigeon, and while I assumed this was another devious trick from the same people who brought us bonsai kittens, it is in fact, real.
lol remember this era of the internet?
But it begs the question…WHO CARES? A fresh coat of paint thrown on a pigeon does not change their bad attitude and shitty life choices.. Let’s just call a spade a spade, shall we?
Grade: You think you’re an A pigeon, but you’re C, for average
Are you okay? Checking in on my favorite d-listers
Why is Bad Bunny one of the only male-identified people I’ve ever felt a desire to be friends with? Probably because of things like the above.

Ephemera I’m into. Each week I highlight some random historical ephemera I’ve discovered that is probably only interesting to me.
I went to an exhibit about a month ago at the Grolier Club, a fancy place for rich people who like books, about the history of magazines. As someone who has subscriptions to approx. 50 magazines (I’ll give you one guess as to whether I’ve more recently read the edition of Star on my table with an angry JLo on the cover, or one of the 7000 New Yorkers piled on my couch) I found it fascinating. One of my faves was The Hobo News, during a period that I feel like was the golden age of using the word “hobo.” When being homeless necessitated a stick and a polka dot kerchief, very chic (not making light of homelessness, which is, an absolutely fucked up problem). But at least it didn’t mean being invisible like today! Not when you have your own magazine where you can threaten the axis powers!
The weirdest shit I saw on Craigslist recently
Sir, I hate to rehash this old joke, but this is a Wendy’s.
Shit you really ought to read
Ok I’m never gonna be as cool as this chick. This is so sad, but also made me happy to hear their stories. Okay I want a dress made out of this.
