Inspiration ain't free, bro.
Out of your size?
My bad, yo.
We don’t stock anything.
Besides vintage stools and negative space.
Update: F.Y.M. gets funnier.
FUCKYEAHMENSWEAR
Got this shit fucking pre-order.
Haven’t even opened the book.
I fucking been had the scans.
In photo class at my liberal arts college.
Name dropped T. Hayashidy.
Prof had no fucking clue.
So not Ivy.
Call me Patina Peter Pan.
NYU Class of '13.
I’m a goddamn trend transformer.
Tumblr’s own Optimus Prime.
Decepticons mad salty when they see me up on The Sart.
Get 'em some Dr. Scholl’s for their beefrolls.
This is funny.

Healing —
...
Seeing the work that is to be done, who can help wanting to be the one to do it?
But one is afraid that there will be no rest until the work is finished and the house is in order, the farm is in order, the town is in order, all the loved ones are well.
But it is pride that lies awake in the night with its desire and its grief.
To work at this alone is to fail. There is no help for it. Loneliness is its failure.
It is despair that sees the work failing in one's own failure.
This despair is the awkwardest pride of all.
—Wendell Berry, "Healing" from What are People For?

BALLS AND BARS
A rack of lignum vitae bowling balls from Wyeth (via Anonymous Works) and a 1930s Mississippi quilt (Ricco Maresca via AAPC).
Go Walk
The pilgrimage unfolds in three simple parts, like a song: verse, chorus, verse. In the first verse you mostly listen to research, training, the blessings of supporters. Then, of course, you walk. And finally the second verse, when you sing. You report back to your supporters and friends—which might now include people met along the way—about your experiences, the people and places you witnessed, and what is happening to you.
Read: "Three Part Path: A Brief Guide to Making a Pilgrimage for the Purpose of Reforming Your Relationship to the Landscape" which has been re-printed in Issue 9 or the Journal of Radical Shimming (above).

Small Scale
If a factory began to "grow" or to be noisy at night or on Sunday, that would mean that another such factory was needed somewhere else. If waste should occur at any point, that would indicate the need for an enterprise of some other sort. If poison or pollution resulted from any enterprise, that would be understood as an indication that something was absolutely wrong, and a correction would be made. Small scale, of course, makes such changes and corrections more thinkable and more possible than does large scale.
