The saddest piece of advice you'll ever get about...
erikamoen: teahousecomic: In the last few months several of our friends have said to us, “I do not know how you handle all of the crap you guys get on the internet.” Most of the time our response to them is, “We do our best to try to ignore it, but it is surprisingly hard.” I’ll be honest. I was a nerdy kid and I was unpopular and picked on, but I’ve never been bullied the way I’m bullied...

Guest-Directed Self-Portrait #13 (Dir. Katie West)
mollypeck: therealkatiewest: I want to see your fandom. I want to see you cosplaying as Catwoman with your Batman comic collection. I want to see you as a Stormtrooper surrounded by all your Star Wars figures. I want to see you as the Doctor with your Tardis cookie jar, Tardis clock, and a full-size Dalek replica. I want to see you in your library closed in by shelves and shelves of books. I...

Stephen King interview
neil-gaiman: I just put the text up of the interview I did with Stephen King in the Sunday Times Magazine on my blog at neilgaiman.com. It’s a much longer interview than the one in the magazine, and if you are interested in working writers, you might enjoy it…. INSTAPAPERED!!

Werner Herzog’s Note To His Cleaning Lady →
claytoncubitt: “You constantly revile me with your singular lack of vision. Be aware, there is an essential truth and beauty in all things. From the death throes of a speared gazelle to the damaged smile of a freeway homeless. But that does not mean that the invisibility of something implies its lack of being. Though simpleton babies foolishly believe the person before them vanishes when they...

Things I Have Learned #3
tonguestubble: • A Beijing Spring is fucking warm and fucking windy and goes from barren to full bloom in about 4 days • I will not be making any deals with any wives of any Chinese politicians • I really know nothing about color or how to use it (this is being rectified) • Piracy in China is unstoppable, much like Kenny G who is EVERYWHERE over here • 6 months doesn’t always feel that long ...

What is some advice you can give to an aspiring...
mollycrabapple: Work hard, make friends, don’t give up. A bit more: be incredibly opportunistic and on the hunt for places that can use your art. Be hard on yourself. Shun all the woo woo vagueness that people tell artists: “fulfilling your dreams”, “nurturing your creativity”, the whole lot of that. It exists to sell self-help books to dilettantes. Care about money. You’ll need it. If not...

Diamond star thrills astronomers →
claytoncubitt: “Twinkling in the sky is a diamond star of 10 billion trillion trillion carats, astronomers have discovered. The cosmic diamond is a chunk of crystallised carbon, 4,000 km across, some 50 light-years from the Earth in the constellation Centaurus. It’s the compressed heart of an old star that was once bright like our Sun but has since faded and shrunk. Astronomers have decided...
