Photos from the Dr. Sketchy’s Anti-Art School 5th Year Anniversary Apocalypse Party are up! My alter ego Lillet St. Sunday rocked a re-imagined version of my Eris Halloween costume, adding a little chaos and discord to the party at the end of the world. Enjoy!

From photographer L. Weingarten’s “A Series of Questions”, depicting transgender, transsexual, and genderqueer people holding signs painted with the questions they have actually been asked by friends and strangers alike.
More photos at link above, and I urge you to click, because before I saw this work, I don’t think I’d ever *really* thought seriously about what it actually feels like to have your most private self questioned on a daily basis. The amazing thing is that, when you look at these photographs, the questions are being asked of you, and as a gender-normative person who’s never had to deal with this particular type of harassment, it really snaps into perfect focus the offense and outrage that these people must feel on a daily basis.
Thanks to Lipstick Feminists for the heads-up on this work.

Joyce’s Ulysses Banned Again—by Apple
As everyone who took a modern lit class in college knows, Ulysses was banned from publication in the United States because of a scene in which Leopold Bloom masturbates on a beach while fireworks burst nearby. The courts eventually decided the episode wasn’t obscene because it didn’t promote lust.
History is repeating itself again, this time in Apple’s (AAPL) App Store. Sarah Weinman at the Daily Finance says that a Webcomic adaptation of the book, Rob Berry and Josh Levitas’ Ulysses Seen, has been banned from iPads and iPhones because of cartoon nudity.
You’ve got to be kidding me.

”What times are these
When to write a poem about love
Is almost a crime
Because it contains
So many silences
About so many horrors…After Bertolt Brecht
from Poetry as Insurgent Art

These are very similar to the ground down shell casing rings I mentioned making when I was in high school. Cool.
Based on Postage by Greg Cooper. Everything heavily modified by me.
