“America is a country that lethally targets Arabs so consistently that we don’t even notice anymore…. Being born Arab shouldn’t be a death sentence.” –Donna Ramone (instagram)

“Jan asked Elvis to play ‘Return to Sender,’ which is an unusual selection for one’s wedding day…. Elvis jammed Black Flag’s ‘Nervous Breakdown’ and we all sang along.” –Jim Ruland (instagram)

“Wealth is how long you can survive without working…. You need to have assets if you wanna be able to relax (I don’t like the word retire) when you’re older.” –Lorde Destroyer

“We have to acknowledge that labor is despised in America…. If you’re a rider on Dillinger Four’s metaphorical bus—that is, if you’re someone who makes all your money by your labor, if you have a boss who exploits you and you wish that boss was dead—it makes sense to ask how you can change this system.” –Sean Carswell (instagram)

“Steve Albini is to be commended for helping many of us season our aging with maturity. It’s just unfortunate that he isn’t around to thank.” –Rev. Nørb (instagram)

“34 for 45.” –Art Fuentes. (instagram)

“I soaked up the weird like a sponge… and the weird-o-meter spiked into the red.” –Rhythm Chicken (instagram)
