“Irish folklorist and dramatist Lady Augusta Gregory penned some of the most memorable and timeless retellings of tales from Irish mythology. Recently, the Folio Society — makers of such exquisitely crafted books as The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook illustrated by Natacha Ledwidge– resurrected Lady Gregory’s tales in a lavish slip-case edition of Irish Myths and Legends (public library) featuring stunning art by Brooklyn-based illustrator and cartoonist Jillian Tamaki.”

This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion

Dr. Willie Parker, who is trained as a gynecologist and OBGYN, is a hero for the pro-choice movement because he’s honest about the undiscussed aspects of getting (or not getting) an abortion. Watch how he gives a consultation.

That last statement about regret is so important, because so many people don’t understand what it is or what causes it. Anti-choicers exploit this by manipulating pregnant people and creating doubt, which only increases the likelihood of regret, no matter what decision the pregnant person makes. You know what is best for you, even if it takes some time to figure it out.

 "The Foster Jones Man

By Diurnal Days – No content warnings

The popular American Imagist illustrator Alfred F. Jones is known for his depictions of an idealized American man who is the very symbol of commercialized masculinity in the early 20th century. What his many fans and clients do not know is that the Foster Jones Man is his beloved model and lover Arthur Kirkland who lives an idyllic dream with him in their New England estate.“

My comic piece for the @usukustwiceperyear collection “Uncommon Professions” this year! For years I’ve dreamt of drawing J.C. Leyendecker + usuk somehow. Arthur and Alfred are loosely based off of J.C. Leyendecker and Charles Beach – his life partner and favorite model – who basically created menswear marketing together under Charles Beach’s identity as the Arrow Collar Man. Honestly, they’re iconic.

“the post reformation, postindustrial solution is the nuclear family, which I’ve attacked at times in the past.  It is not a traditional social unit.  It’s less than 250 years old.  This is the man, the wife and the two children.  The traditional social unit is a very large extended family of cousins, sisters, brothers in laws, children, elders.  This nuclear family thing is part of the root of our problem.  It is an engine for the production of neurotic dysfunctional people.”
