Star Wars, to quote the guy who emailed me, does bring people from diverse cultures and backgrounds together. And everybody of those cultures and backgrounds deserve to be seen on the screen and on the page and in comic book panels. This isn’t a joke. This isn’t glib. This is their lives. Not everybody is you. And as I said before, if you can imagine a Star Wars where Luke Skywalker hates gay people, I got bad news for you, hoss: you watched a different Star Wars than I did. You fell to the Dark Side. You joined the Empire. And I hope one day that Big Gay Luke Skywalker shows up at your battlestation door and he shines his rainbow gaysaber at you and you can do nothing but melt beneath its warm rays of inclusiveness and kindness and you come to realize that love is good and gay people exist and dang, were you a huge asshole.

Chuck Wendig, author of the upcoming TFA comic book adaptation and the novel Star Wars: Aftermath, replying to (yet another) email complaining about the gay people in his Star Wars book (http://terribleminds.com/ramble/2016/03/09/episode-0-luke-skywaker-and-the-return-of-the-rainbow-gaysaber/)

Not everybody is you.

Julien Mauve: Headland of Dreams

This project is based on a text called « Promontorium somnii » written by Victor Hugo in 1863 and dealing with the continuum between real and dream. Hugo talks about our need to find something within ourselves than can help us sail through the remains of dreams and the will-of-the-wisps of illusion. He claims that « sleep is not a formal necessity for dreams ». I tried to explore this nocturnal world with photographs, find a dream-state presence in the waking life and reveal this « world that does not exist and yet which does »

Plant anon here. I figured those were sweet potatoes! You might want to put that in a old bucket or something so you’d get new sweet potatoes later. Also poor bonsai plant. At least it is in your care now! Good luck gardening! More wealth for you! XD

oh man, the last thing I need in my life is more sweet potatoes! Windowsill real estate has never been more scarce. On the other hand, they’ve already started giving me beautiful pink flowers, so maybe it’s time to start looking for buckets
