No one looks as horrible as Jake Tapper does right now. May his book rot on shelves wherever good people gather.

There is no Room 13 at the utterly charming and winsome Sea Echo Motel on Hwy 101 in Lincoln City, Oregon. You can ask all you want. It ain't happenin. 🙂 We loved the Sea Echo. I'll write about it perforce.

#ArtistTradingCard of the day. A pencil-and-watercolor rendition of Lt. Gay Ellis from the Gerry & Sylvia Anderson series "UFO". Perhaps watercoloring this was a bit of a mistake but, oddly, even though I'm not satisfied, I am happy with it. Because I can accomplish more than I think I can here.

The Supreme Court in the UK has removed all wiggle room you might have had, and it's time to choose sides: You can either be a fan of Harry Potter OR be seen as a friend to the trans people you know. There is no third option available.

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.” -- #UrsulaKLeGuin
