&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She owned an apartment in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and was in the process of stripping of a ton of paint from the walls and ceiling of her place.  Of course, underneath all that paint was this beautiful oak panelling.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She&amp;#8217;s spent thousands on expensive stripper to do the work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her husband, oddly, looked a bit like this guy:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Suffice to say, we need this renovation project done so I can stop dreaming about paint removal.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/51301032533</link><guid>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/51301032533</guid><pubDate>Sat, 25 May 2013 07:51:48 -0600</pubDate><category>dreams</category><category>martha stewart</category><category>john waters</category><category>renovation</category><category>paint stripping</category></item><item><title>I wish I was better skilled.</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a330797c84f255de45bd06fdc6361c05/tumblr_mnbozw8LFO1qdav4mo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;I wish I was better skilled.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/51252761242</link><guid>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/51252761242</guid><pubDate>Fri, 24 May 2013 15:57:33 -0600</pubDate><category>selfie</category><category>gpoy</category><category>beardo</category></item><item><title>Over it.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So I was meandering at &lt;a href="http://cnn.com" target="_blank"&gt;cnn.com&lt;/a&gt; this morning and came across an &lt;a href="http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/05/23/my-take-why-my-family-is-quitting-the-boy-scouts/" target="_blank"&gt;opinion piece by John Stemberger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;(&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a class="twitter-atreply pretty-link" href="https://twitter.com/JohnStemberger" target="_blank"&gt;@JohnStemberger&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt; on twitter)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; about the Boy Scouts of America ruling to include openly gay youth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;. I found it as offensive as most other opinion pieces written by conservatives about gays…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Read this. Repost this.

&lt;p&gt;Governor of Texas and failed GOP 2012 Presidential candidate Rick Perry took to Twitter this morning to pray to the Lord Almighty that the Boy Scouts of America uphold the teachings of Jesus and discriminate against those filthy, filthy gays.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="image" src="http://media.tumblr.com/395d1f4ab2e22256d1661f9b64698e9d/tumblr_inline_mna0w1CWmw1qz4rgp.png"/&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rick Perry got his way…SORT OF. The Boy…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was a scout once too. It was a good thing for me, and for my straight friends too. These crazy bigots are spewing nothing but hate speech and the most un-Christian things they can possibly think of. I still don’t understand why gay/straight is even a thing anymore. Why can’t we be post-sexual identity now?&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/51197104079</link><guid>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/51197104079</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 May 2013 20:39:43 -0600</pubDate><category>BSA</category><category>GLBT</category><category>gay</category></item><item><title>This seems a bit much...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;So, I just started the process of consolidating my student loans (though, I&amp;#8217;ve got some time yet before I need to finalize my application).  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I just got a screen of information that was rather eye-opening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I owe a total of $132k in student loans.  If I do a standard repayment plan, by the end of the loan, I will have paid a total of $257k.  That&amp;#8217;s almost double of what my initial loan was.  Almost.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I do the extended repayment plan, it jumps up to $279k total paid at the end of the loan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each of these loans have a repayment period of 30 years.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know why I became an English major&amp;#8230;math is not my strong point.  &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/51195750668</link><guid>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/51195750668</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 May 2013 20:22:09 -0600</pubDate><category>student loans</category><category>math hurts</category><category>ouch</category><category>broke for life</category></item><item><title>P.M.

&lt;p&gt;Yahoo, I just want to ask you one thing: Don’t change anything here. You can buy whatever you want, but Tumblr is Tumblr. It’s like the unique social network which isn’t shit. Please don’t turn it into this, otherwise you’ll have a lot of haters. And now a gif to end this text: &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I currently use Flickr, and it&amp;#8217;s run by Yahoo!  I like the service, I love the way my photos are presented, and because of a multitude of features, I retain the control over my stuff that I share on there.  I actually am okay with Yahoo! scooping up Tumblr.  I don&amp;#8217;t think they&amp;#8217;ll mess with it.  Besides, we already reblog the best photos from Flickr as it is&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/50887455292</link><guid>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/50887455292</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2013 23:19:28 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_llmy5yyxkj1qfvuj8o1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/50886146299</link><guid>http://portcitywriter.tumblr.com/post/50886146299</guid><pubDate>Sun, 19 May 2013 22:55:53 -0600</pubDate></item><item><title>joshuaowen:
