Heard on the Subway: Talking about your gay son.

I was on my way to work, zoned out listening to some old school Shania Twain to get my life right, when two construction worker types got on the train at Penn Station. They were both middle-aged white guys with Long Island accents, mustaches, dirty jeans — the type of guys you’d expect to see on a building site. I caught a piece of their conversation when the music died before the song changed, and I decided to record them.

“As the figure shows, if the minimum wage had kept pace with average wages—i.e., if minimum wage workers saw their paychecks expand at the same rate as the average worker—it would be about $10.50 today. If the minimum wage had kept pace with productivity[i]—i.e., the economy’s overall capacity to generate income— it would be almost $18.75 today. Finally, imagine if workers at the very bottom were seeing the same kind of raises as workers at the very top. If the minimum wage had gone up at the same rate as wages for the top 1 percent, it would be over $28 per hour.[ii]”

Everything is upside-down;
All the chickens got three legs —

The Finnish sky god has sassy fashion sense

Like the German god, Thor, Ukko swings a hammer; and, finally, we find, in a vein of familiar symbolism, that his skirt sparkles with fire, that his stockings are blue, and his shoes, crimson colored.

Graph Search: Islamic men interested in men who live in Tehran, Iran

People have really gotten comfortable not only sharing more information and different kinds, but more openly and with more people. That social norm is just something that has evolved over time.

We view it as our role in the system to constantly be innovating and be updating what our system is to reflect what the current social norms are. — Mark Zuckerberg

I drew this in like half an hour this afternoon, I guess.

For those who don’t know me or who haven’t seen me in the last two years, I have some sort of cyst-like growth next to my eye, it’s pretty cool and by cool I mean gross. I think it’s about time that I started to include it in my conception of myself.

-Ayo.

Good on you! I try to keep my cartoon-self fairly accurate & up to date (eg. with hair changes, growing belly, etc.).
