In November, I wrote about The Spectacular Sisterhood of Superwomen. During that post, I mentioned that I had started reading several comics that were mentioned in the book. Well, I’ve made my way through a pile of books, in addition to some comics available on the web. If anything, I’m even happier I read Hope […]

I’ve wanted to write about Pop Chalee for a while, but I’ve struggled to find images I could include here. I finally decided to write about her anyway. Some of the links below will take you to pictures of her work. Pop Chalee, born Merina Lujan, was given the Tiwa name that she preferred by […]
Recently a friend of mine reposted her “joy list” on Facebook. She first posted it a few years ago after I asked people to share their lists with me. Not only did she repost her list this week, but she decided to let it inspire her day. Since baking, the smell of cinnamon, and tea […]
Several months ago, one of my coworkers mentioned how much he loved a BBC radio series called Cabin Pressure. It took just one episode to make me a fan. Cabin Pressure is British humor (sorry, humour) at its best. It’s made up of 27 episodes, each named for a destination. The story involves a charter […]
I know I’ve been writing a lot of “something wonderful” posts about books lately. I promise to write about something else in my next post of this sort.

When a friend offered to loan me The Spectacular Sisterhood of Superwomen: Awesome Female Characters From Comic Book History, my response was “Heck, yeah!” After all, Wonder Woman was featured prominently on the cover. It wasn’t what I expected. But I still thought it was wonderful. It was, perhaps, unfair for me to expect […]
I learned about Michael Zahs at Teslacon, a steampunk convention which itself could be worthy of a “something wonderful” post. I almost missed his movie showing, and I’m very glad I didn’t. Listed on the con’s schedule was this simple entry: “An Afternoon with Michael Zahs & the Films of the Britton [sic] Collection. PART […]
When I first started posting about women artists, I asked readers if they could name five or more of them. What would happen if I changed the challenge to “name five or more women sculptors off the top of your head”? Until some time after college, I wouldn’t have been able to list a single […]
If you haven’t listened to Harry Nilsson’s The Point! or watched the related cartoon, it’s time. The Point is the story of Oblio, a child in the Pointed Village, where everyone and everything has a point. Born round, Oblio is the exception to the rule. Despite his well-known pointlessness, he manages to fit in fairly […]
