Here is this week’s list of essays, poems, comic strips, and other links from my favourite corners of the web.
The Jesus Fly via MBTTTR. No, this probably isn’t what you’re expecting it to be. All I will say about it is that it’s hilarious.
Don’t Worry If Your Job Is Small. This is the kind of short, snappy poem I’d read out loud to someone who doesn’t like poetry.
Vulcan Emoticons. I’m sharing this in honour of Star Trek: Discovery premiering this month. Who else can’t wait to see it?
Pockets. If you’ve ever emptied out the pockets of something you haven’t worn in a long time and found a surprise in them, this story is for you.
The Real Problem with Suicide via queerxfamily. I absolutely loved this post, and I couldn’t agree with it more.
Snow White. Apple season is nearly here, and this is hilarious. No, that sentence isn’t a non-sequitur. It will make perfect sense once you’ve clicked on this link.
Fitness Calculator. This was a fun quiz to take. I’ll tell you my results if you tell me yours.
