“I want to say a little something that’s long overdue/ The disrespect to women has got to be through/ To all the mothers and sisters and wives and friends/ I want to offer my love and respect to the end."
- Adam Yauch

And Another Reason to Love Stephen King Posted by Alex Snider
Stephen King: weaver of nightmares, emphatic teller of truth, has won my heart again. His recent post at The Daily Beast, in which he skewers the (ridiculous) arguments against taxing rich folk is full of scorn, snark and the word "fuck" in its many forms. An excerpt:

An Open Letter to Cyclists by Alex Snider
My Fellow Cyclists,
It's that time of year again when we will once again be riding our evil, law-flouting, rage-inducing machines en masse, tearing up the pavement to the horror of small children, the elderly and hapless motorists. Before you ready for the season by greasing your chains with the blood of the innocent, here are a few things to remember:

Girl in Grey (1939) posted by Rebekah Hakkenberg
Ferrens Art Gallery: Hull Museums and Art Gallery
From the artist's website:
"Girl in Grey (1939; Ferrens Art Gallery, Kingston upon Hull), a tribute to the constantly recurring luminous grey tones of Goya's portraits. Modelled by Jean Stoney on the rooftop terrace of his Menton studio, the work provides early evidence of the artist's restriction ofcolour and tone. Le Brocquy explains: 'From the start I've been fascinated by colour in all its aspects, yet somehow bright hues have rarely entered my painting. Maybe this could have something to do with my early love of the so-called "living" whites and greys in the paintings of Edouard Manet and the great Spaniards Goya and Velasquez.'"

Great Friday by Rebekah Hakkenberg
A day off is a gift, a gift of time and I am not going to waste it. This is what I plan to do today:
Pictionary - Cormac McCarthy Edition by Rebekah Hakkenberg
If you've read our blog, or have ever met us, then you already know that we love Cormac McCarthy. I mean, really love him. A lot. So it should come as no surprise to any of you that we so desperately wish this game were a real thing in this world. In fact, I might just go draw a bush hung with dead babies, just for the fun of it, right now...

A Short Visual Essay of Five Things I Love (and One Thing I Hate) Posted by Alex Snider
These three pictures have nothing in common. Or do they?! Well, each one fills me with mirth and keeps me smirking when otherwise I'd be slipping into further despair over (not) writing final papers. But aside from being hilarious, there are five specific things having to do with these pictures that I adore. And one that I wish would be stricken from the earth forever.
