For what it's worth

Whether or not you're familiar with David Simon's The Wire*, this is still an absolutely beautiful article about interracial relationships and people in general and god knows it's nice to read something positive for a change, instead of about how much people suck. Because, y'all, sometimes people fucking suck... and sometimes they don't.


*FYI: If you have not seen The Wire you are missing out of some of the most well-written, compelling television ever created. It's not pretty or light, so if that's what you're after, don't bother. But if you want something that makes you think, something so real your teeth ache? Watch this series. And then go see Generation Kill. Not pretty or fluffy, but so very true.

That made me tear up at my desk!

Thank you for pointing this out. I never would have read it, because the typical Modern Love article is written by heinous, head-up-their-ass yuppies who make me want to claw their eyes out with my naked fingernails--hence I avoid the column.

This is WAY too good for Modern Love, in short.

I haven't read the Times in ages, it just... yeah, no. This was actually sent to me and I thought I should share the sentiment. It's nice to see you around these parts again :)
