The Broken Bugs in the Palms of My Hands. Content Warning.
Part 1: Are you all serious? I played no part in my being born, besides taking those first breaths when I came into this world. I was told not to cross my legs as a young boy, a rule I played no part in conceiving. I was told to complete my assignments on topics I told were important to me. I spoke and dressed in a way that made others find me likable or, at the very least, tolerable.

Shots fired at Rihannaâs house sparks a bigger conversation about stan culture and celebrity obsession
The way that Internet culture in some sectors has devolved has yet to outshine the wondrous tool.

"You should smile more "
A few weeks ago, I was at the dmv and a random man had the audacity to tell me "why aren't you smiling, you should smile more". I was so appalled by that man, but even more by myself because instead of putting him in his place I awkwardly laughed. This guy probably went home satisfied with himself. Looking back at it I feel sick. He. caught me by surprise but I should have been faster and clap back at him or even insult him.

What Is the Difference Between Amusement and Art?
Human beings constantly produce objects, images, sounds and stories that attract attention and provoke reaction. Some of these experiences are described as amusement or entertainment, while others are called art. The distinction between the two has long occupied philosophers, critics and creators, yet the boundary remains uncertain. Both can delight, disturb, inspire or exhaust the human senses. Both are built from the same physical materials: pigment on canvas, vibrating air in music, words on a page, or moving light on a screen. The difference therefore cannot lie in the material itself. The same paint can form a masterpiece or a decorative poster; the same sequence of sounds can be a symphony or a jingle. The difference emerges from how humans use and experience these objects.
