I'd like to reshape the world, but I often find that it's the world that's reshaping me. Good or bad, this is my attempt to embrace it all. But mostly through books. I'm bad at real life.

How to deal with people who wear unflattering outfits
- Realise all aesthetic choices are subjective.
- Realise that they might think they look sexy as fuck.
- Remove yourself from the vicinity until you’ve learned to get over your fatphobia/transphobia/misogyny/racism or combination of those.
4. Look back at them with refreshed eyes and realize how sexy they look.
What if dude superheroes posed like lady superheroes?
Artist Kevin Bolk’s rendition of The Avengers. I like it. Comic book ladies DO have the most ridiculous poses.

Raymond’s playoff beard comic. I’m dying.

To fairly represent a spectrum of playoff beards, there is this, because I can.
Literary bricks. I’m doing this one day when I have a backyard or balcony of my very own!
These might look like antique books, but they’re actually salvaged bricks that have been painted to look like they belong in an old library. The faux literature is the brilliant work of Daryl Fitzgerald, who transforms the bricks by stenciling them on both sides with titles of literary classics.
Kittens and Canucks.

This tree was already 300 years old when Christopher Columbus arrived in North America in 1492. I’m humbled.
It’s the last day of class but all I can think about is going back to Vancouver Island.

Sex will always be an exciting mystery to children, they’ll always want to know about it. And they’ll learn about it, inevitably, from scary porn and all those barmy urban myths that circulate playgrounds. As a counter to that, shouldn’t responsible kids’ telly at least try to right the balance? Shouldn’t there be someone out there (apart from your boring parents and your boring teachers, who cares what they say) saying that sex is a natural, sometimes funny, sometimes wonderful thing, that decent, kind, nice people do with other decent, kind, nice people? Rather than a sleazy forbidden horror whispered about behind the bike shed. You can’t stop kids finding out about sex. You can at least make sure some of what they hear is sane and reasonable.

I can’t remember if I reblogged this before, but in case I haven’t, I thought Joani would like this quote, since she’s the one who wrote A Kid’s First Book About Sex. Read/download it on Joani’s website, and be sure to let everyone who has or loves children know!
