[image description: photo 1, the cover of the book "The Westies: The Irish Mob" by T.J. English. It has a pullquote: "The true story of the most brutal men this violent nations has ever seen...The Westies will blow you away!" -- Edna Buchanan
Photo 2: A handwritten note on the inside flap of the book: "Steve, This book frightened me. I did time with Featherstone in Riker's Island 1981. Beat up his best friend who was about 6-foot 2-inches 240 pounds. I was 147 pounds at the time. I had no idea who this Featherstone was but I would of done up his friend just the same because 'I had to.' I was 22 at the time. I drank in Hell's Kitchen for several years." The note is unsigned.]
Bought this book a year or two ago because I look some good non-fiction. Had NO IDEA about the note on the inside until I pulled the book out to finally read it.
HOLY. SHIT.

one time I used the ben affleck smoking reaction image in the family group chat and my mom replied with the funniest possible response which was: "mommy doesn't know who the guy is???" and that phrase has not left my brain since. I'll see blorbos on my dash that I don't recognize and I'll be like well it seems mommy doesn't know who the guy is.

The way people demonize seagulls is actually unreal. Almost all of their natural habitat has been destroyed (almost all coastal areas have been developed, destroying natural sand dune ecosystems) and they're doing their best to adapt. They're literally just trying to survive. You're in their home. The vitriol some people have for these gorgeous sea birds just because they're not shy about snatching food if you're not cautious is insane

I hate when an artist gets exposed for being a bad person and people start the narrative “why would you even want to listen to their shitty music” when are we going to be freed from the idea that only good people create good art and bad people create bad art. It just makes it harder for these types of people to be exposed because now you got people thinking “how is this possible, his music is so good!”
