when does a serious looking face not mean something like this
I feel as though Ali might have had an inkling that there would be a few more people seeing his photo today; this is quite the outfit!
It’s been an overwhelming couple of days, and I would like to thank everyone for their very kind words.
With the help of Google Translate I tried to explain to Ali today that he might be recognised on the u-bahn…he seemed quite pleased.
no one is cooler than Ali
Pakoto Martinez’s work is PRETTY GREAT
I put the short film The Reward on this tumblr before! Now there is a kickstarter that is looking good. I hope that if they do more with the film, women characters will do more than be thrown on the backs of horses. Otherwise: all systems go!

I made a comic that is just a great big illustrated pun
This kind of reaction is not uncommon, for Skyler in particular and for women – often wives – on top-drawer TV dramas in general. Characters like Skyler become targets of vituperation unimaginable to their male counterparts, most of whom engage in vastly more destructive and immoral behavior every episode. By failing to indulge every whim of the the male antiheroes around whom their shows are built, the women become obstacles to those men getting exactly what they want when they want it at all times, which is the core fantasy of antihero fiction. Cold cunning, ruthlessness, rage, self-interest, a propensity for physical violence – we gender these unheroic characteristics as male, and celebrate them; passivity, bitterness, grief, emotional enmeshment, a knack for attacking and deflating egos – we gender these unheroic characteristics as female, and loathe them. Skyler White, Betty Francis, Megan Draper, Catelyn Stark, Sansa Stark, Cersei Lannister, Carmela Soprano: On the sole count of “being women,” Fan Court finds you guilty as charged.

this book is cool - I wish it was all online! But only part is. Still:
Rod MacKay’s collection of folklore from the Maritimes, Whistle Down The Wind, is a fun read and I even read some stories from my own home that I hadn’t heard before. He even has some of the old Gaelic stuff so that’s impressive.
