“I have always felt ambivalent about how the Test got attached to my name and went viral. (This ancient comic strip [http://www.flickr.com/photos/zizyphus...] I did in 1985 received a second life on the internet when film students started talking about it in the 2000′s.) But in recent years I’ve been trying to embrace the phenomenon. After all, the Test is about something I have dedicated my career to: the representation of women who are subjects and not objects. And I’m glad mainstream culture is starting to catch up to where lesbian-feminism was 30 years ago.”

I’m working on a new diorama! The main ingredient of this one is glitter.
The pile of gold looks more like a pile of sludge at the moment, but it will look better when I get a dragon in there (spoiler alert!).

Cake books by Larissa Cox (BoundlessBookbindery) on Etsy.
…My mouth actually watered, looking at these cake books.
We thought they were pie books, on first glance. Tempting, either way.

“I could give you absolutely sterling advice on how to avoid writing, how when you run out of things to do other than going to your desk and writing, when every closet is reorganized and you’ve called your oldest living relative twice in one day to see what she’s up to and there isn’t an unanswered e-mail left on your computer or you simply can’t bear to answer another one and there is no dignity, not a drop left, in any further evasion of the task at hand, namely writing, well, you can always ask your dentist for a root canal or have an accident in the bathtub instead.”
