This essay has everything that G.K. Chesterton’s “Orthodoxy” does, except this essay is shorter, it is funnier, it is aware that women exist, and it has merch. ❤️❤️❤️

There is scientific proof that swearing loudly after accidentally whacking your hand with a hammer reduces the pain. I love your tiny fuck painting.

I just might have said, “YEAH!” out loud a few times while reading this. I think you’d really like the book, “The Subversive Stitch”. It was originally written in the 1970s but reissued in the past decade or so. I found it after I started my company in 2003 and I felt SO seen, I was dog-earing and highlighting like crazy.

I wish could pull up a chair, you hit on several points of interest & I love your two-frame piece & your reason for it.❤️ If you’re getting a negative comment now & then, you’re doing it right.

I continue to be very happy & grateful that I got to actually meet you. Omg You are the best!

Also, I loved how super random that so many people (probably women only) got retro & into saying “eat a bag of dicks” at the same time however many years ago that was. It amused and pleased me very much!!
