I'm eschewing all those cliched versions of Irish culture. You'll get enough of that elsewhere. Today, I'm passing on three arts-related recommendations, in honor of the tremendous contribution Celtic culture has made to the world's creativity. Since my own background is overwhelming Celt, I'm particularly grateful.
(Satsu and Buffy in B-E-D.)
Buffy tries women.
Yep, for real. According to an article this weekend in the New York Times, "In a new issue of the “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” comic book series, being released Wednesday, Buffy sleeps with a fellow slayer. And, oh yeah, she’s a woman."
Read the article for details and comments from Joss Whedon. This is NOT Buffy coming out, it's just her and Satsu sleeping together. Still, I'm down wif it.

Ironic Sans has an interesting exploration of the art of courtroom sketch artists. Courtrooms are spaces where the digital age has been held at bay: No camera or videos are allowed, testimony is recorded by a stenographer typing entire syllables and words via a sophisticated but still manual keyboard, and our memories of OJ and Michael Jackson are from pencils and pastels. But these artists don't just draw for a living there, they have expressive lives in other genres. Nice to see. And nice to plug this blog with y'all, it's a goodie.

Below is People In Order, a wonderful short film by Lenka Clayton and James Price, showing people ages 1 to 100.
