Be Careful With Your Honey, My Friends!

my favorite Millennial Thing™ is when a group of us are standing around and talking and someone asks a question that no one knows the answer to and suddenly it’s a race to get out your phone and google it and be the first to know, and then someone starts reading the Wikipedia article about the thing aloud to everyone else, and what started as a casual conversation is now A Learning Opportunity and we all walk away a little more knowledgeable about a random topic

Like, Boomers hate when we do that, but I think it’s one of the best things about us.

So long as we have internet or a cell signal, all of the world’s collective knowledge is at our fingertips, and damned if we aren’t going to use it.

I made this painting for the Spellbinders gallery show at @gallerynucleus 💕✨ The opening is on 23rd, if you are in LA then come check it out. I’ll be there signing my new books and also holding a workshop ✨

Time: “She knows action on climate change won’t happen instantly, but she’s prepared to dedicate years to this cause, even if life in the public eye has its drawbacks.

“When I grow up, I want to be able to look back and say that I did everything I could,” she says. “I think that more people should feel like that.””

One of my favorite “never thought of that, but makes sense” facts is that the moon looks upside-down if you see it from the other hemisphere. 

When my friend from Brazil landed in the US for the first time, she stepped off the plane and saw an upside-down moon, which is more than a little alarming when you’re jetlagged and nervous about moving to a new country.

NASA has released new images of Jupiter, taken by the Juno Spacecraft.

What I really hate about younger people in fandom asking older fangirls why they’re “still” in fandom is that it’s the outcome of a misogynistic lack of representation for older women to be seen as people who have fun and fuck off.We never ask dude fans the same question. We have all kinds of cultural narratives of dude’s fucking off, playing videogames well into their 40s. And even when these narratives aren’t 100% sympathetic (ie: the perpetual manchild), there’s always this sort of exasperation around it like, what can you do? Boys will be boys. But when women age into fandom, there’s a whole lotta confusion around her very existence. When a younger fan wants to know why I’m here, in this space, they seem genuinely confused and uncomfortable. Because what are our archetypes for older woman: wife, mother, cougar even. Not womanchild. Not fuckoff. Not fangirl. Men are allowed seemingly childish pursuits but women better get in the kitchen and start scrapbooking.
