On a Saturday night in August, 2010, a week before starting college, Dharun Ravi decided to look online for his future Rutgers roommate. He was living with his parents in Plainsboro. Ravi, who was planning to major in math and economics, had learned that he had been assigned to Davidson Hall—a collection of single-story, barracks-like dorms on Busch campus, which is considered the dullest of the four Rutgers campuses in New Brunswick and neighboring Piscataway. He would be in Davidson Hall C, a coed dorm for about eighty students. He knew Clementi’s first name and that his last name started with C; he also knew his e-mail address, keybowvio@yahoo.com—apparently, a distillation of musical terms—and had e-mailed him but received no reply.
This is a very thorough & thoughtful read on a (now) very public event, one that I hope will help move the public conscious forward in accepting people as people - regardless of their orientations, preferences, or anything else that define our individualities.

WANT.
Also possibly need for the summer.
Once again, every Portlander should own this.
Not that I absolutely need this right now, since well, I don’t go outside during a snowstorm to take down notes/sketch out ideas but it’s just so damn cool. Maybe I’ll pick one up for when I go travelling later this year.

You guys, this site has the cutest vintage valentines ever!
Since the boytoy and I don’t really celebrate valentines, I’ve decided to mail valentine cards to some friends this year :D they’re too corny to resist!

You guys I’m so conflicted when I go to a blog and it has some soundtrack that’s programmed to auto-play. On the one hand it’s super annoying when it overlaps with my iTunes and I just automatically exit that page even though it may have good content. On the other, sometimes the songs are actually pretty good, and then I have to stay on that one page and look at the same memes and animated gifs for something like 10 minutes.
Ugh, there’s no winning here.

A new tutorial is up - go check it out for garland-y shenanigans :P
I just found some little glass bottles in my local dollar store, so that’s going to be the theme of the tutorial next week.

Imaginerary DIY BF. Luckily my real one doesn’t mind the mess either.
