Habits of super happy people.

Millionaires manage their time well.  Let me figure out how to do that.

Here, have a breakdown of who’s using Snapchat, and ways to pimp your brand.  There’s no excuse to not know this by now.

Artistic expressions n’ stuff

Seeking community support dredges up a litany of emotions.  Brilliant essay on Kickstarter’s emotional triggers by Chicago musician Eiren Caffrall.

As a diehard collage artist, I find Harry Houdini’s digitized scrapbooks completely enthralling.

Childcare was a lot different in the 1920’s.  Terrifying stereoviews of Satanic creatures hovering over a little girl.

Funny ha-ha

Bob Bondle’s free handshakes:  quite a deal.  From Cake Fight!

Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure facts you probably don’t know… but you’ll need at some point.

When dreams don’t come: visual processing

Apr 4, 2014

It’s impossible to live without parsing information; processing what’s been mentally consumed.  Most people do this when they dream.  I don’t dream.  I haven’t for years.

So I make art.  These collages are a way to organize the random, overwhelming data I don’t subconsciously figure out.  Promise I’ll never try to tell you what I dreamt last night.

SANDY the ZINE, on SPINSTERISM

Apr 4, 2014

All-new Sandy the Zine, issue number two is in the works, thanks to yours truly and my BFF, the brilliant Amanda Lee McCarty.

Spinsterism Sandy the Zine2

We’re seeking submissions, through our personal circles and in the Sandy community, on topics super-relevant to feminism today.  Amanda and I aren’t militant man-haters (yes, that needs to be said) or women’s studies-obsessed (well, kind of).  Mainly, we’re amateur sociologists exploring the gender card the universe dealt us, while being Professional Bosses, wild women, and making flower crowns when days get dark.

Spinsterism Sandy the Zine3

SPINSTERISM, choosing to live partner-free, is the idea Sandy contributors are mulling this issue. There are valid reasons to get married. And just as many reasons not to.

So why is SPINSTER a negative term, for gay and straight women alike?

We’re reclaiming the term SPINSTER in Sandy Issue Two, and accepting submissions that explore the benefits, challenges, and social implications of being a single woman in 2014… and beyond.

Here are the brand new SANDYtheZINE Submission Guidelines that detail how we’ll review, select, and edit your work.

PROCESS
1. Send your proposal for submission by April 15th, 5:00 PM PST to SANDYtheZINE@gmail.com
2. We’ll contact all selected contributors by April 22nd
3. Final submissions due on May 15th, 5:00 PM PST
4.  If you’re sending a proposal for a written piece, 75 words max.
