John Martz: Drawn 2005-2013 →
johnmartz:
Drawn in 2005.
2005
Have you heard of these things called blogs? Blogging wasn’t new in 2005, but it was still a niche hobby for the technologically minded. I had been maintaining a personal blog, and was a regular blog reader. I saw multiple-author blogs devoted to certain subjects and…
My homie Jeope informed me via Facebook that Drawn was no more. I’m bummed, but I...

So, white people are at it again.
Totally not gonna watch this. I don’t think I’ve ever reblogged/posted anything from World Star Hip Hop. Pretty sure it won’t happen again.

Got Up This Mornin'...
…heard the news about Angelina Jolie and thought, Twitter’s probably having a very wrong-headed field day with this. And I was right. (Hat tip to Aggie for linkin’ it up.) The other sad thing about this is that I’m no longer surprised when shit like this happens. I expect it. I’m gonna fold some clothes.

Not Your Entertainment
iridessence:
getting real tired of folks feeling the need to (horribly) autotune and remix interviews with black people in the news. don’t see it happening regularly to white adults. we’re not your entertainment.
I’m haven’t seen Auto-Tuned versions of Charles Ramsey’s account of what went down in Cleveland, and frankly, I don’t want to. His description of the events...

“And like any muscle, if you work at it for a while, it gets stronger. And then...”
– Wendy MacNaughton on drawing. This quote can be found in the latest Design Matters with Debbie Millman episode, where Wendy and her partner Caroline Paul talk about their individual (and fascinating) creative journeys, leading to their book, Lost Cat.
I have to remind myself of what she said...

I've Been Sayin' This All Along.
carriebbw:
Just puttin’ this out there… if you post pictures from peoples’ websites and INTENTIONALLY photoshop/crop off their URL/watermark, you are officially a piece of shit.
Just reblogging the words of a fine-ass lady to let you know that you suck, whomever you are.

That Previous Reblog Was Out of Character
Seriously, I hate Internet-based drama, but there’s the odd time where I hit my limit of bullshit tolerance. I saw a post, and it pushed a few of my buttons. I was initially drawn in by this possibly-NSFW post, then saw this textual abortion.
That person had an opinion, and I had an opinion about their opinion. That’s what the Internet is all about, right? I reacted. Maybe I...

stop
niggajeezus:
stop objectifying the word nigger to one race. It goes for any disrespecting person, male or female what ever color of their skin may be; red, white, brown, or fucking purple if you’re going to be a disrespecting asshole you’re a nigger.
Behold! A Tumblr sideshow act! It produces garbage from its fingertips!

“Rap music is really good when you’re traumatized.”
– Kim Gordon, in a chat with Elle. I always had some sort of respect for her, but it grew tenfold with that statement. I’ve never been a huge Sonic Youth fan, but I’ve always like how they’ve been able to play by their own rules, yet still be signed to a major label (yeah, I know, SY...

Black Culture is popular. Black people are not.
Leave it to Paul Mooney to tell the truth, and to Iridessence to reblog it. :) I want to link the proper Chappelle’s Show bit to this, but Comedy Central vids are blocked here in Canada, so throw “Paul Mooney” and “Chappelle” together into Google, and have some fun.

“Negative people will always be around, and maybe you feel like you can *change*...”
– Emmy Cicierega on jerks and Internet anonymity. I’ve never, ever allowed anonymous questions on Tumblr, and my life here has been relatively painless. I can’t fault those that do, though. It’s totally up to you, I just ain’t got no time for that bullshit. I assume people are...
