30 Cat Fonts, Because Those Exist
The internet is made of cats, and thank goodness, because that means we get to have approximately nine million cat fonts. That’s an estimate, but I bet I’m pretty close. I rounded up 30 free cat fonts because you need them in your life, and with that many choices, you can have your pick of the litter. You’re welcome.

Rhymes With Witches: Poor Little Rich Girl Mary Crawley
My (totally one sided) love affair with Downton Abbey’sLady Mary Crawley began the second I saw a gif set of her on this brand new website called Tumblr. It was my second year of college and I pretty much retreated from any form of human contact aside from the nice lady at the Taco Bell drive-thru window. This meant that I spent an embarrassingly large amount of hours investigating any gif set…

Fool’s Journey: Four Elements, Four Suits
One way to develop your understanding of the tarot is to look at how the four elements — earth, air, fire and water — play out in the cards. You’ll see symbols of these four elements popping up all over the place in many tarot decks, and learning to spot these visual clues can really help you to understand the nuances of a card’s meaning, and develop your own interpretations too.
To me, earth,…
Drawn to Comics: Catching up with Supercakes!
by rory midhani
One of the very first comics I covered here for Drawn to Comics was a lovely series of just a couple short stories by writer and illustrator Kat Leyh about May Ai and Molly (or Mo) LeMarck, a couple who also happen to be superheroes who fight crime by the names Tank and Shift. This series, called Supercakes, is now collected on its own website with even more stories than there…
More Than Words: 14 Ways The New York Times Has Hated On Brunch Since 1939
Brunch (as a word, if not a concept) was introduced to the masses in 1895 via a cheerful polemic called “Brunch: A Plea,” written for a British hunting magazine by a gentleman named Guy Beringer. Beringer, an early brunch adopter, urged his readersto abandon the traditional evening- and stomach-clogging Sunday dinner in favor of an earlier, more flexible spread: brunch is better for “Saturday…

+ What happens if you try to work your way through Cosmo‘s lesbian sex positions?:
“Since I am a masochist and an overachiever, I wanted to start with some of the most difficult positions suggested. Thus, we started with “Over the Edge” (#27), which involves a fairly standard grinding of the vaginas, but with the added…

Dear Queer Diary: A Friend of Journaling Is A Friend of Mine

Feature image of a little free library by Laurie Hertzel of the Star Tribune.
Zadie Smith, self-described pathological reader, writes about her love of books:
“I would like to say in my defense that I don’t really get the appeal of YOLO. I live many times over. Hypothetical, subterranean lives that run beneath the relative tedium of my own and have the power to occasionally penetrate or even…
Rebel Girls: The Illustrated (And Quite Condensed) History of Women’s Studies
Illustrated by Rory Midhani
Women’s studies. What the fuck is that? I want to show you today a short explanation of how today’s most feminist classrooms came to be — but first, let’s define the damn thing.
Let’s stick with the Wikipedia definition. (I always loved encyclopedias. Remember Encarta? Good times, y’all.)
Women’s studies, also known as feminist studies, is an interdisciplinary…

Watching Guardians of the Galaxy this past weekend was definitely a blast, but even as I was watching Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillankick total ass and look super amazing on the screen, I couldn’t help but think about what a wasted opportunity it was.
