Growing up as a Christian, there was precious little I was told about sex, and it was mostly along the lines of “don’t have it! Or- or— GENITAL HERPES. And BABIES. Well, until you get married. Then you must have it all of the time or else.”
So, I’m going to do what no one did for me: I’m going…

A while ago, I penned a fairly angry response to something circulating on the internet – the 21 Habits of Happy People. It pissed me off beyond belief, that there was an inference that if you weren’t Happy, you simply weren’t doing the right things.
I’ve had depression for as long as I can…

on midway atoll, a remote cluster of islands more than 2000 miles from the nearest continent, the detritus of our mass consumption surfaces in an astonishing place: inside the stomachs of thousands of dead baby albatrosses. the nesting chicks are fed lethal quantities of plastic by their parents, who mistake the floating trash for food as they forage over the vast polluted pacific ocean.
“for me, kneeling over their carcasses is like looking into a macabre mirror. …like the albatross, we [the consumers and polluters of this world] find ourselves lacking the ability to discern anymore what is nourishing from what is toxic to our lives and souls.” - chris jordan
chris used a kickstarter campaign to turn this story into a feature length documentary, midway. read more on the great pacific garbage patch.

ALEXANDER BRODSKY
Palace of everyone’s prosperity
32 x21, Screenprint, flocked with ground espresso on Arches 88 (edition of 42)
(from the archives)
This is my favorite print from my collection and one of my favorite experiences as a master printer for HPWI.
One of the benefits of being a master printer (other that the obvious— working with amazing artists) is that you get to keep one print from every edition you produce.
This one hangs next to my bed.
So true yet so hard to do!

Sorry this post is so long (open images in new window for better quality, tumblr apparently decided to butcher them :().
I don’t really have proper words for this thing, just that it’s about something very important in my life, and after ten years, I’m glad I could finally write this.
Magnus is a great opportunity for the chess world to evolve a little bit : he’s young, he’s charismatic, and he’s got a great public image. I’m really glad that he won, even though his opponent (Vishy Anand) is a fantastic and lovable player as well.
I know this “letter” will not reach him, but it wasn’t really written for him. For other players, yes, I guess? I’m sad that I don’t have much friends left in chess so I can’t give that to the community. So this is for you, comics/illustration lovers from tumblr <3
Thanks a lot to Martin and Valerie who helped me translate it <3 All mistakes are mine, though, since I changed the text so much!
