The Spectre of Orientalism in Craig Thompson’s Habibi
…Yeeeeah, I was pretty sure Habibi would turn out like this, story-wise. Might still get it for the beautiful artwork and calligraphy, though.

0 notespardon me while I take the low road
Buddy, calling me a “fucking nigger” behind my back only makes me feel that much more satisfied with my decision to call the cops on you.
Don’t hate just because I’m:
- younger
- healthier
- most likely richer
- probably better-educated
- having sex with my SO late at night—as opposed to your insane screaming fights.

NotesDeclaration of Causes of (Four) Seceding States
A certain segment of December 9th’s The Daily Show jabbed a knife into a serious sore spot of mine—southerners who insist that the southern states’ primary motivator for secession was not the preservation of slavery.

Despite agreeing on a $1.7 million purchase price for the home Jan. 4, the Sabbias never signed a purchase contract. According to the complaint, Lowe told the Willborns’ agent, Dylcia Cornelious, on Jan. 11 that the Sabbias had changed their minds and were taking the home off the market, despite it being listed for sale for almost two years.
According to the complaint, Lowe said in a HUD interview while under oath that while he was representing the Sabbias, Daniel Sabbia told Lowe “he would prefer not to sell the home to an African-American, though he qualified the testimony, saying ‘but if it was for the right price he did not care who bought the house.’”
…Amurka, fuck yeah.
