“A very old man came to my Starbucks.  Halfway through struggling to understand his order through his thick accent, he noticed my necklace.  He stopped and said “your star is beautiful,” and I thanked him.  There was a long pause before he spoke again.  When he did, he said “it is beautiful, but I am having a hard time looking at it.  The last time I wore one, it was mandatory.”

We then spoke to each other in Hebrew for a bit.  But soon enough he stopped again, and looked back to my star.  With one hand he held mine, and used the other hand to shakily touch the sapphires on my necklace.  His lip shook, and tears rolled down his cheeks.  In a shaky, heavily German-accented whisper, he said “I am so happy you are here.  Your generation is here.  We won,” and kissed my hand.”

@harnaamkaur and I are tired of your shitty gender roles. We shot this series for @theparallelmag to challenge what people are “allowed to do.” She has a beard due to a medical condition. She loves it and kills it! As for me, I just want to wear a skirt sometimes cuz I think it can look dope! The fact we socially relegate these fashion and styling attributes to certain genders just seems so frivolous and dangerous when you consider how aggressive people get when their confronted with these things that don’t fit into their understanding of how the world works. At the end of the day, just be yourself and love yourself and don’t judge others who are living that way. Think outside the parameters that we are lead to believe are absolute and see the world as it is! Much love to all of you! 📷: @sophieephotos 💄: @kateoffthewall 👔: @roxannechanelmurray

The man who ghost wrote Donald Trump’s book is terrified of what would happen if Trump is elected, and he’s making sure the media understands just how high the stakes are.

He spent 18 month shadowing Trump.  I believe him.  It’s a shame he hid these facts so he could get a paycheck for ghost writing the book.

The New Yorker article that kicked off his interviews is highly worth reading, particularly for context.

a story my parents like to tell about me is that once, when i was about 4, we were up in maine and i wandered out to the porch and said happily, “there’s a dog in the grocery store.” “what?” said my parents. “dog,” i said. “in the grocery store!” i said shit like this constantly because i was an imaginative child to the point of being slightly delusional, so they were like lol ok. dog in the grocery store. enjoy that. we’ll be here reading pg wodehouse like we do every vacation. so i wandered away again. after a couple of minutes i reappeared and said louder, “DOG IN THE GROCERY STORE.” “ok,” said my parents. “SEE DOG,” i insisted. “fine,” said my long-suffering parents, closing their books, “fine, we’ll come See Dog. it’s probably another cardboard box that you drew ears on, but fine,” so they followed me back inside and i took them to the kitchen, where they found that a HUGE MOOSE had stuck its bathtub-sized head into the open window next to the pantry and was lipping peaceably at the canned goods, which is apparently a thing they do. “DOG!” i said happily. apparently i was not good at identifying animals and i thought everywhere with food was a grocery store
