Yes, Mark LaMarr
yIt was at one of Eli "Paperboy" Reed's first London concerts and we got down the nitty gritty about music and these fellas came up in conversation. I had realized he'd played it recently till my Darlin' Nicci said it was on his last show -- but it's a great album and worthy of the investment of a few quid! Sadly I also found that last Friday was Mark's last show on the BBC. His show was one of the last bastion's of the unusual, eclectic and the roads less travelled in music!
wut? he's gone?!

The Grand Lady Comics Creator Tumblr Census 2011
ladiesmakingcomics:
Feelings of blogger inadequacy, I haz them.
I feel like every now and then I’ll find like ten lady comics creators on Tumblr that I didn’t realize were on Tumblr, even if I know their work. I know there’s no way in the world for me to know everyone on the internet and their social networking handles, but I can’t help but feel bad about it. SO! If you are a lady comics...

Teach your 6 year old about social construction

At the next event where you might be expected to take photographs (a national holiday, a family event, a vacation), don’t take photographs when you would normally do so. Take them rigorously at predetermined times (every hour, the same time every day, etc) no matter what is going on. Instead of smiling groups or shots of individuals posing before a landmark or scenery, you will have...
