This is a safe space to say nice things about punk rock dads with doctorates.

New todayyy

Thu, 31 May 2012 09:27:28 -0700

My “Thirtyish” column in The Grid (a Toronto weekly magazine that in formulation is like halfway between the Village Voice and New York mag) is about obsessing over Twitter followers, featuring Twitter class president Alec Sulkin, and what to do when your boyfriend likes you more than you like him (answer: appreciate.)

Read it here.

“I like it the best when you can’t tell if someone is married or has kids because their home life is not an incessant part of their daily talking-to-me narrative.”

New work this week

Sat, 26 May 2012 06:52:11 -0700

Monday/Tuesday: What do you want from me? Nothingggg.

Wednesday: 1+1 column in the National Post is about my dual obsessions with my hair-cutter (who is a beautiful famous but who I will not name for “stay away from my man” reasons) and my future, perfect (future-perfect!) hair colorist.

Thursday: Thirtyish column in The Grid is about how to accomplish something by failing over and over, featuring Chris Gethard from The Chris Gethard Show, and Jonah Lehrer.

Friday: Girl News column in VICE is about Girl Rules, rules for girls, rules of girls, etc. Just not “The Rules.” Don’t be retarded.

Saturday: feature in the Globe and Mail is about why ebooks are marketed so shittily. It features interviews with Emily Gould, David Balzer, Evan Munday (look all of them up) and a few Official Publishing people.

Is this new? And if so why is it a direct rip of those Missoni ads from the early ’00s?

Here’s my newest VICE column, about Girls and Hair. Currently I am doing a ponytail with a red ribbon in a bow, and shut the shut-up about it.

"did she text this article to vice while driving to the tanning booth?"

Tue, 22 May 2012 17:24:16 -0700

“did she text this article to vice while driving to the tanning booth?”

- A comment on the Vice site that my friend emailed me. 1) I WISHHHHH 2) Stop the fuck emailing me about the comments on websites! I don’t give a quarter of a fucking shit! Except when they’re hilarious, then I do, definitely.

“You know what a “Brazilian” is, I bet. Let’s congratulate ourselves for popularizing a vulvic hairstyle while your nation still doesn’t know the difference between Mitt Romney and that other guy.”

- I’m smart.

baby J lo ;____;

Only reblogging this because I follow so many model-y fashion Tumblrs that sometimes I forget what a body I am sexually attracted to looks like.

Probs can’t read this but it says that when I grow up I want to be a “free-lance writer” (or “a judge” or “take over my dad’s business.” Since I have no legal or economist-ing-skills I think I chose right).

Also sometimes “boys are nice and cute.” Sure, Lil Kate.

natashavc: Why did I just click through this photo gallery?...

natashavc:

Why did I just click through this photo gallery? Honestly, out of all the most vile crevasses on the internet there are few things that leave me as crack-house-sad as clicking through galleries. Even lurking on 4chan with their naked corpses and revenge pussy shots, at least there I feel proper and instant amounts of repulsion. The insidiousness of 35 picture galleries diminishes something inside of me! ALSO I DONT EVEN KNOW WHO KRISTIN CAVALLARI IS? IS SHE A HOUSEWIFE? DO PREGNANT WOMEN HAVE EATING DISORDERS?? MAKE A GALLERY OF THAT, PLZ.

approval rating on this is HIGH.

New Girl News for @VICE is about moms! I almost never talk about her on the internet because it seems so infinitely private but I really, really, really love my mom. Best person I know by a thousand miles.

I dare you to tell me the girl in this video isn’t totally constipated. Also I really like Justin’s nude lip gloss, issa nice.

I can’t see anything and little flower pods (flower pods?) and twigs and things are floating down into the crevices of my MacBook but I will not WILL NOT WILL NOT WILL NOT go inside when it is this summer-Saturday outside. LIKE, I DID NOT FORGO JOB SECURITY TO GO INSIDE /metaphor

Instagramming some of the small stack of vinyl that travels with me if that is interesting to you but why would it be over at “katecarraway” on your iPhone.

Me on Girls, again

Wed, 09 May 2012 13:01:07 -0700

Here is the third thing I’ve written for VICE about “Girls” but like what did or could you expect?

HBO’s “Girls” is, of course, racist, but so is everything else. Pretending like that’s not true, and pretending that Lena Dunham owes anyone an apology, is shitty and dangerous and sexist most of all.

Read it here.
