This post is going to be a mess, because I’m just …untidily angry right now. It began with a series of tweets I made today about my ever-broken Datsun. The mechanic had told my husband that he was “working on that Datsun just as fast as I can because now that I’ve met her I can’t wait to get that...

Happy National Cat Day!

Felines, ever so cultured and refined, are very literary creatures. They’ve been known to nap on book stacks and, even better, on open books – sometimes while you’re reading them. So it’s no wonder that so many writers have an affinity for them. Here’s what some have had to say about their furry friends:

"A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not." - Ernest Hemingway, whose home-turned-museum in Key West, Fla., hosts dozens of six-toed cats.

"If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much." - Mark Twain

"What greater gift than the love of a cat?" - Charles Dickens

Not enough cat love for you? Then check out this Fresh Air interview with the author of Cat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet.

Last week I wrote this piece for Comic Book Resources about the new Teen Titans #1 cover. The point of the piece was hey, there’s a broad demographic DC *could* be hitting with this book but the cover is certainly not made for that potential demographic. Instead, it’s more of...

악동뮤지션 (Akdong Musician) - 200%

Ah, so glad they are finally "officially" debuting! And slightly relieved that they still have their own style and sound.

Also, they are both still adorable.

A culture fixated on female thinness is not an obsession about female beauty, [it is] an obsession about female obedience.

Lois Griffin (via fawun)

Always reblog.

Understanding this concept is probably the only reason I know longer have weight issues. Instead of thinking that I should be thinner to look nicer, I’ve got it in my head that thinner=more compliant and over my dead body is that ever happening.

(via iamayoungfeminist)

One of the points that stuck with me the most after reading The Beauty Myth by Naomi Wolf were the studies about how not eating enough calories dampen your personality and how many popular fad diets allowed the same number of daily calories as prisoners were given in concentration camps. And just from my own experience how much mental space diets take up, and the anxiety they created. Nope nope nope. That is not about health.

Also, everyone go read The Beauty Myth.
