So weird. Just yesterday I reblogged a letter Salinger wrote in which he specifically mentioned his own death…now this.

tinycastles:
So far, I have been asked for my photo identification twice since I’ve been here. The first time, at Krogers, the cashier thought it was fake (and told me so) then asked her boss about it. She asked me if British Columbia was in England. She also started speaking slower to me, which to be fair might have been a coincidence?
The second time was at Urban Outfitters yesterday, where...

This interview makes me want to read What Is the What and Zeitoun back to back, like, NOW.
It also got me thinking of the kind of life that I want to live in the next 10-15 years.

Eating less meat
marco:
I’ve made a dramatic shift in my diet over the last few weeks: eating almost no meat. (update: thoughts on fish.)
There are plenty of good reasons not to eat meat, including:
The treatment of the animals is awful. The more you know about industrialized meat production, the less you want to support it. (And it’s not just for cows. Chickens and turkeys aren’t much better, and pigs are...

There are people who read Pitchfork, and Vampire Weekend is the most mainstream...
– Kris Chen of XL, Vampire Weekend’s label, talking to GQ about the band’s remarkable success.
I think this is a very succinct and accurate way of defining Vampire Weekend’s cultural niche. That niche has been occupied by some other bands; this isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. I think a close analog...

Régine Chassagne of Arcade Fire writes about Haiti →
“Many Haitians expect to be let down. History shows they are right to feel that way. Haitians know that they have been wronged many, many times. What we are seeing on the news right now is more than a natural disaster. This earthquake has torn away the veil and revealed the crushing poverty that has been allowed by the west’s centuries of disregard. That we must respond with a...
