So the blog
Stuff White People Like: you’ve probably seen it. Like me, if you’re white and live in a gentrified outer borough and work in some kind of media or nonprofit or educational sector, you thought it was funny at first, and then, I don't know, the endlessness of it became sort of grating—which must happen with all blogs so narrow in thematic scope (like
this or
this)—and then it became the type of thing that through its success became a self-fulfilling prophecy, for one popular expression of white people's narcissism is unhinged self-deprecation. Well, it was in the news this week because it got a
ridiculously huge book deal.
Whatever, book publishers are very good at making costly mistakes. And I’ve never claimed any real proficiency in what gets America off. So we’ll see. But in the meantime: do you think
this is next, and if so, do you think I should get cracking on my new blog idea, “Postcards from Yo Boyfriend,” beginning with this inaugural post?
I am almost home.
Did you get a flu shot this year?
Also I want to learn French with rosetta stone.
