  As a country, we sometimes believe that certain health-related issues sometimes reach a certain point of importance where we believe government has a role. For example, we could teach people to drive at the speed limit and be safe and not fall asleep at the wheel – or we can put airbags in cars. We could hope people brush and floss or we can put fluoride in the water. We could hope that parents get their children immunized before they go to school or we can just require it. So the question is whether obesity has reached a certain level of crisis, like we felt we reached with tobacco. … I obviously believe we’re there and I believe more and more the country is believing that.

  jill-amy-kiki-sligh:

  To make it through high school, I drew comics constantly in notebooks and then sketchbooks until after my first year of college.  These are all the sketchbooks I filled between I think 8th grade (13) and my freshman year of college (19).  
  I was always “that girl who drew comics” and for a while it was what I wanted to do for a living, but then I figured out I could never make any money at it, and I have too many medical problems to seek a career with such unreliable income.  Comic art will always be my hobby though.   I’m completely fascinated by every aspect of it.  
  I’ve recently restarted all of this drawing after taking a year off from really working on anything.  I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t keep doing it.  It wasn’t writer’s block, it was probably more anxiety related, but I had also just started a story which suddenly became my actual life (metaphorically, of course), and I couldn’t write an ending to it without knowing what happened in my own story.  I’m embracing being able to draw again regularly, but I still don’t know how that story’s going to end, and I don’t write a long story unless its purpose is to convey something important that I’ve learned.

  Hey, I’m Jill, and my actual job is robots, but I also like drawing a lot.  Today I decided I am going to start posting drawings on the internet!  How exciting.

  This is a picture of Amy, not me.  My other characters are Sligh and Kiki, and you’ll see them soon too.  When I was younger, I wrote and drew a lot of stories that I want to remake as a wiser and more talented artist.

  jill is great, and her art is too! this tumblr EXCITES ME

  Swans’ Way

  runofplay:

  Watching Swansea City play is like reading Proust. There are more than a few forgettable moments, scattered throughout longer moments of wandering beauty, sudden whimsy, and fluttering brilliance, seemingly going nowhere and seemingly without end. Everything builds and builds and builds without any obvious narrative structure. As the tension breaks their game becomes more sprawling, and more strange. It’s easy to get lost. Once lost, it’s easy to lose sense of time, and place. No team in the Premier League is as watchable and as unwatchable as Swansea. And no team inspires the depth of praise and breadth of indifference.

  Earlier this season Swansea played Liverpool to a scoreless draw. The game was brilliant. Andy Carroll was comically feckless. So too was Liverpool’s midfield. Michel Vorm essentially attacked Liverpool’s forwards from his goal, which is an odd phrase and even odder thought, but there really isn’t another way to put it. The overwhelming presence of the ball in the midfield looked, from a distance, the way the game being played in the imagination of someone who’d never seen a game before, and only heard it described charitably, if not also a little wistfully.
