Hey I made this program you can do stuff with - so now sometimes I’ll make videos about how to use it.

Letterloom is a blank piece of paper for the web that anyone can access with a link once you paste, type, or (now) drag a text file into it.

So that’s a thing.

thumbcramps:

hi guys! this is a comic i made for a final in my comics in literature class. we had to do a research paper on a topic we’d discussed in class and then accompany it with a comic with a relevant subject. my paper was about hyper-sexualization of women in comic books, but i decided to broaden it out here as well as personalize it and make myself the subject and discuss something i’ve been subjected to in the convention circuit and on the internet as well as thousands of other women, as well as give a cue to thought about how the comic book industry as well as the video game industry and even just media in general (all of which are male dominated) push such ridiculous pressures onto girls and women.

also, it feels kind of silly to have to add this since i hope it’s obvious, but i am very aware that there are men that don’t subscribe to this attitude, and am incredibly grateful that these issues are brought to light to people other than the ones that are subjected to it.

anyway haha i have literally been staring at this for 9 hours i don’t even know which direction is up anymore. thanks for reading!!!

A THOUSAND RE-BLOGS! probably one of the best anti-rape campaigns I have ever seen

this question is gonna sound silly, but how does a good writer turn a rant into a legitimate argument? often, i have thoughts that have discussion potentials, but when i try to write it down it sounds very whiny. sometimes i read reviews and critiques that sound absolutely childish, but the authors are still rated as professionals.

Tue, 12 Mar 2013 20:31:42 -0700

I don’t know if I’ve ever figured out how to write down a legitimate argument - I guess maybe the best way to see if stuff is discussion-worthy is to just bring it up a bunch of times in different places and see what happens?

I don’t know, because I haven’t quite done this, but my feeling is that if you keep writing different critiques, reviews, editorials, and essays, you’ll keep getting better at it.

Also, realize quickly why the ‘childish’ writers exist: they are sitting in chairs doing it every day, because someone pays them by the word. So, maybe you want a chair and some money. Or maybe you write what you want because you like it, for free.

Letterloom is the empty room I go to at the end of the day to write. And every time I go there’s an empty page with a suggestion ready to catch whatever I throw down. Catch it, save it, and give me the tools to improve it and share it after that.

Letterloom is my legal pad, my napkin, my recorder. It’s a typewriter, it’s a computer, it’s a program.

It’s a blank page, waiting for me to fill it. Every day.

Oh, and PS Letterloom is here for you to use, right now. You don’t have to login. You don’t have to anything, really. Super free, super reliable, super fun to use.

That is all.

SURE. I stand behind these words.

UNLIKE most of the afternoon diatribes I offer I am being held captive in a stranger’s apartment in Brooklyn.

BUT MOSTLY: I cannot wait til someone does a mashup of this video to Skrillex (HINT) so that Glee can cover it.
