Sunday Short: Down to a Sunless Sea by Neil Gaiman
"I told him not to go to sea. I'm your mother, I said. The sea won't love you like I love you, she's cruel. But he said, Oh Mother, I need to see the world. I need to see the sun rise in the tropics, and watch the Northern Lights dance in the Arctic sky,… Continue reading Sunday Short: Down to a Sunless Sea by Neil Gaiman

Your Mid-Week Art Break: Yelena Bryksenkova
I sort of feel like I've been gettin' my fairytale on this month in many forms. Having read Angela Slatter's Sourdough & Other Stories and getting my oldschool Disney on (I know they're not really all that faithful, but come on. The Little Mermaid is a national treasure), I've been loving all things scaly and… Continue reading Your Mid-Week Art Break: Yelena Bryksenkova
Orla Kiely SS14
Dolling out some Moonrise Kingdom realness, Orla Kiely's SS 2014 collection is the sort of manic pixie dream girl magic that makes fashion fun again. I know a few people find her stuff pretty twee and, I mean, it is, but that doesn't mean it's not pretty great too. I think she does some awesome… Continue reading Orla Kiely SS14
Sunday Short: Becca at the End of the World by Shira Lipkin
I pull her into my arms and she falls apart, huge gasping gulping sobs, and I fall apart along with her — I don’t have to be strong for her this time, not now. This is slow, this is so slow, this is agonizing, but I cannot kill my daughter, not when she is still… Continue reading Sunday Short: Becca at the End of the World by Shira Lipkin

http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/2bTbW70umbQ&source=uds I'm kind of ridiculously stoked for Wes Anderson's newest film, The Grand Budapest Hotel. I was a little underwhelmed by Moonrise Kingdom, so I hope this is a bit more of a return to form. - The Women Film Pioneers Project is the best thing I've seen this week. - A diversity campaign with… Continue reading Friday Finds
Your Mid-Week Art Break: Rebecca Mock
I'm really into gif illustrations at the moment and Rebecca Mocks is pretty awesome at it. The animated elements are always sort of unexpected, giving the work a lazy, summer feel. It maybe helps that her work so frequently operates as snapshots in time, forgettable moments in broader relationships. It's pretty special. You can check… Continue reading Your Mid-Week Art Break: Rebecca Mock
Sunday Short: Take Your Licks by Amy Poehler
The nights would end with the wait staff in the parking lot, sitting on a car and drinking beer as we counted our tips. The boys would undo their bow ties and suddenly look weary and handsome. I would change into soft jeans and throw pennies at the dumpster. I was aching for what came… Continue reading Sunday Short: Take Your Licks by Amy Poehler
