Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Edit: Who I want to see - 1st draft of bigger names (i.e. bound to add more once I’ve done further research):
- Gabrial Ba and Fabio Moon (artists for the amazing official poster above)
- Jeff Smith
- Ross Campbell
- Scott Chantler
- Koyama Press
- Emi Lennox
- Brian Lee O’Malley
Really, really want to go to this. Ugh. Wish I lived closer to Toronto (like I used to!). The artists for the poster pictured above are the creator’s of Daytripper which I recommended for Julie and which also happens to be one of my favourite works.
Merry Monday, Tumblr. Cheers.
No, YOUR desktop is My Little Pony themed.
Bathroom stalls are the forefathers of the internet.
“Cleo eats it” is a reference to Ross Campbell’s “Wet Moon”.
True fact: Tumblr originated in a high school bathroom stall.
Yesterday I had some family over for a visit. One of my sisters cracked open a bottle of wine and had a small glass out of it. About 4/5 of the bottle remains.
That means I have to drink it tonight, right?
Took the day off tomorrow.
Who wants to play hooky with me?
Canada Is About To Pass Sopa’s Evil Little Brother. Politely.
“I’m a Canadian.
We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.
Only better*
Meet Bill-C11. Formerly Bill C-32. (I think they thought if they made the number lower people would care less about it?)
{…}
But, as innocuous as it sounds, C-11 does a whole lot that SOPA did with a few extra twists you might not find in the Wikipedia write-up.
Like your PVR? You can’t keep it under C-11.
Like ripping CDs to your iPod? Say bye-bye.
Hey, do you want to be able to unlock your $500 smartphone and take it to a provider less dedicated to violating your wallet? That won’t be allowed either.
Did you get accused of internet piracy but no evidence has been presented and a trial date hasn’t even been set? Under C-11 your ISP will now be forced to terminate your internet access.
And people say that governments can’t be bought.

There are only 14 days left people. Get active.”

(Source: tampontears)
you are gone
like summer
like Diana in Paris
like a snowy owl in Windsor
the last time you lay beside me
you were a princess,
the white mask of your breasts
disappearing
in the snow
that drifted
across
the fields
of your skin
like those golden dreams
gathered
in the sweep
of the croupier’s arm
now,
memories of you
are
aching
wearied
climbers
clinging
to the glacier of my soul
