What Drugs Is Your Festival Known For?

Fernando Kaskais

Aaron Ontiveroz/Getty by James Joiner “No one wants to be the coke guy at the weed party, man.” I remember this time, back when cell phones were things guys in white tailored suits, single earrings, and a level of unshaven that could only be described as “the Don Johnson Fuzzy Look” carried around in custom leather bags, a friend of mine decided it would be a hoot if we took some mescaline. No stranger to the mind-expanding possibilities being proffered, I heartily agreed. We were young, dumb in the way that young adults are when they think they know everything because … Continue reading What Drugs Is Your Festival Known For?

Are Prisons the New Mental Health Hospitals?

Fernando Kaskais

When state governments closed many mental hospitals in the 1970s, it didn’t solve the problem of what to do with the mentally ill, it merely moved it—to jails and prisons. “There are now more psychologists working in state prisons than (in) state hospitals in this country,” Dr. Jeffrey Metzner, a psychiatrist with the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Center, said according to The Crime Report. But some are trying to change that. The National Association of Counties, the Council of State Governments Justice Center, and the American Psychiatric Foundation have begun an initiative to reduce the number of mentally ill … Continue reading Are Prisons the New Mental Health Hospitals?

Spectator Sports Turn Men Into Boys

Fernando Kaskais

BEST MOTHER’S DAY GIFT: TURN OFF THE GAME! “It’s a lifestyle which seems vaguely manly, but in reality it is passive and effeminate.” While men abdicate their masculine responsibilities: “The pressure on today’s woman is tremendous. She’s supposed to break the glass ceiling at work, come home and be mother and father, make her man feel like a winner, and compete with porn.” by Bonnie (henrymakow.com My poor immigrant grandfather came to the US from Czechoslovakia and worked like a slave in Appalachian coal mines in the 1920s. He was not able to help his six sons assimilate into American life, … Continue reading Spectator Sports Turn Men Into Boys

Charles Bukowski Rails Against 9-to-5 Jobs in a Brutally Honest Letter (1986)

Fernando Kaskais

by Josh Jones Charles Bukowski—or “Hank” to his friends—assiduously cultivated a literary persona as a perennial drunken deadbeat. He mostly lived it too, but for a few odd jobs and a period of time, just over a decade, that he spent working for the United States Post Office, beginning in the early fifties as a fill-in letter carrier, then later for over a decade as a filing clerk. He found the work mind-numbing, soul-crushing, and any number of other adjectives one uses to describe repetitive and deeply unfulfilling labor. Actually, one needn’t supply a description—Bukowski has splendidly done so for … Continue reading Charles Bukowski Rails Against 9-to-5 Jobs in a Brutally Honest Letter (1986)
