I finally did it! I’m making a webcomic of my favorite book, The Blue Castle! Just published chapter one on webtoon--expect chapter two next week!

If you like romance, the Canadian wilderness, and an artist trying her best, check it out!

Eating a grapefruit is so decadent, it invokes so purely that sweet feeling of eating a man’s heart in the marketplace.

“In The Woods Somewhere” is just Hozier’s explanation of why he’s late for dinner.

Maybe I just WANT to make poor decisions.

I adore the solidarity that comes from that.

we should really talk about Foreigner’s God by Hozier more its such an emotionally devastating song its a lamentation of the systemic destruction of Irish culture under English colonial rule but it also expresses a universal grief that every culture that’s been lost to colonialism can connect to the lyric “all that i’ve been taught and every word i’ve got is foreign to me” reflects so much yearning and loss Foreigner’s God is easily the most underrated Hozier song and is undoubtedly one of his best

The “Dinner and Diatribes” video is so beautiful; Hozier recognised that we are all villains in someone else’s life and then went and created this whole story to point out the villain in himself, gorgeous.

I don’t trust the eye doctor, because I don’t trust any diagnosis that is based on me trying to figure out whether option one or option two looks better.

I am just a girl, crawling behind her desk to get to that one outlet that doesn’t blow out when a hair dryer is plugged into it, so that I can look nicer than usual when I stand in front of my mirror and pretend to ask someone out.

Here’s the thing about the George Floyd protests: we’re fighting a battle on two fronts. We’re not asking for just one thing—we’re asking for two.

The first thing that we are fighting for is an end to discrimination. Yes, the end to racism, because we don’t want black men choked to death, we don’t want young black girls to be sexualized, we don’t want people to be paid less because they’re black. But we want more. We want to end to discrimination of all kinds. Because discrimination is a pervasive problem, that spreads across all groups of people that are seen as the “other.” Think about everything that we’ve been fighting for: the “me too” movement, safety for the homeless, LGBTQ+ rights, rights for disabled people, etc. We refuse to be quiet. We want equality and safety for all people. And George Floyd’s death reminded us of all that is lacking in a world that refuses to treat everyone like human beings who deserve to safe.

And as extensive as that is, we also fight for something else. We are fighting for the end to police brutality. Because of course we don’t want black men choked to death, we don’t want deaf people to be beaten, we don’t want women to be killed in their sleep, we don’t even want frat boys to be roughed up. We want to trust the people with authority, and it’s a scary thought that there are people who can hurt us, and we might not even get justice. And, once again, George Floyd’s death reminds us of the injustice in the world.

But we’re not asking for something small. And, often, people try to treat it like we’re asking for a very small, specific overlap—an end to police brutality against black men. But that’s such a small category, that it won’t fix anything to try to solve that single problem by itself. We need to spread our focus to the bigger picture. Rather than trying to dam the river of injustice with a single stick, we need to come together and recognize the enormity of our fight—and dam the river with everything we’ve got.

I know a lot of us have lost jobs during this time--so if this is the only way we can help right now, let’s do it.
