“Say anything you like, but don’t say that I ‘like’ to work. That sounds like Mary Pickford, that prissy bitch.
Just say I like to pinch babies and twist their legs. And get drunk.”
-Mabel Normand & her Indian motorcycle (1920, via Looking for Mabel Normand)
Mabel Normand was a wonderful silent film actress & comedienne, as well as one of Hollywood’s first female producers, screenwriters, and directors - Normand wrote and directed for Charlie Chaplin, in addition to owning her own movie studio & production company. Normand and Mary Pickford were actually good friends as well.
A clip of some of her work can be seen on youtube here.

“ I would tell them to go to hell. That’s a question I will not tolerate…. If they can’t handle it, go home. Or wet your pants. Do whatever you like.

— Maurice Sendak’s response to whether Where the Wild Things Are (Jonze version) is too scary for kids. Found via Gawker, yes. (via youwillbeassimilated)

Letters of Note: I ♥ U

Experts believe the following love letter to be approximately 100 years old. If you have some time to kill, I’d suggest attempting to solve the code yourself before looking at the transcript. The idea’s simple: each image represents a piece of text, e.g. ☼day would translate as Sunday. Good luck.

Slightly larger photo here. More info here.

Transcript (Approximate Translation)

My Dearest Fanny,

I am writing these few lines to tell you that I cannot live any longer without you. I worship you always. I think you are a beauty and the nicest girl I ever saw and I adore you. Oh exquisite Fanny, do not despise me for loving you so well. I shall be broken-hearted if you desert me. Can you meet me on Monday night, when I will take you to the Star Music Hall. I hate that Bill Robinson, who is hanging after you and I intend to horsewhip him when I see him. I shall be delighted to hear from you at once. Do not let my suit be fruitless. Reply by next post to

Your loving

William Weightman
