I thought I was gonna be in the minimum-wage working world all my life.

It took me until my teenage years to realize that I was medicating with music. I was pushing back against my stupid school uniform, instructors who called me by my last name and my classmates, who, while friendly enough, were not at all inspiring.

We are occupants. No one has any lasting purchase on life or on the planet.

There's nothing new about the government protecting corporations and calling it the freeing of the world or bringing democracy to bereft nations.

I got three letters today telling me that I'm god. Why can't I pay the rent?

In my world there would be as many public libraries as there are Starbucks.

You can't get your head around something if you're yelling.
