"Towards the door we never opened"
I’m delighted with these images. The second one has been the background on my laptop for months now.

I’m very much a fan of the word cunt. (And I love the example of how to use it absurdly.)
jackscoresby:
“Cunt. It’s slang for vagina. It begins with a hard-c. It rhymes with punt, stunt and front. Use it lovingly, “that flower is opening up like a beautiful crimson cunt.” Use it with edge, “that little fucking cunt just cut me off.” Use it absurdly, “there’s a certain oaky cuntiness to...
Can we just talk about this one more time?
therealkatiewest:
Because they’re nice to you, doesn’t mean they want you. Because they don’t notice when you touch them, doesn’t mean they’re encouraging you to. Because they laugh at your jokes, doesn’t mean they think you’re funny; many people laugh when they’re uncomfortable. Because they said no with a smile on their face, doesn’t mean they’re joking. Because you saw them naked online,...

Free Comics
Edit: Done! Each of the comics is off to a new home now. Cheers.
Dear internet,
Some time ago, Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly created the delightful comic Local.
The collected hardcover edition is a lovely well-designed thing, and I quite recommend it. (In fact, it is currently on sale at amazon.ca).
However, since I have the lovely hardcover version, I want to free up some space by giving away the...

WatchNot only is this really interesting, but the speaker is entirely charming in his presentation style.

Please check out my new collection of short stories called Trash and Vaudeville. The cost is only $9.99 (plus S&H) and it makes a great stocking stuffer. It’s filled with gritty prose about the beautiful losers that fall through the cracks, and includes some great artwork by Eliza Gauger,

I'm a Tumblr Hack and I'm Okay.
I’ll add to this that I find accepting inevitable failure is incredibly freeing. I have been slowly working on project with a lovely writer where we are doing exactly that. We expect to fail. As a result we have been free to make whatever we want, and as we enter the final stages I’m delighted by it.
That might be a rather trite addition, but … whatever. It works for me.

– Dangerous Combinations: Day 2: Part 1-The Writing
Katelan Foisy is keeping a fascinating online diary about her process for 40 days. She is now half way through but I highly recommend reading from the start.
Giving my artwork away
lazcorp:

All you need to do is to fill in the form on this page and I’ll send you a set of 5 postcards from my recent “Medea” series. I’ve got 100 sets to give away (only about 6 gone so far this evening - plenty left).

I Want to Tell You a Secret
lieandindite:
I used to have a roommate with whom I would have conversations about fetishes. I told her I always loved the look and feel of writing on skin. She agreed, but while I thought of poetry, she thought of music—bar, staff, and all.
We wondered what it be like to date a mathematician.
