  1. A quotation from James Thurber

    By definition, humor is gentle. The savage, the cruel, the harsh would fall under the heading of wit and/or satire, as the lawyers say. Now, my definitions are these: The wit makes fun of other persons; the satirist makes fun of the world; the humorist makes fun of himself, but in so doing, he identifies himself with people — that is, people everywhere, not for the purpose of taking them apart, but simply revealing their true nature.

    James Thurber (1894-1961) American humorist, cartoonist, writer
    Interview (1959-03-24) by Edward R. Murrow, Small World, CBS-TV

  11. Where the heck do I send a hilarious story about space marines, aliens, and vampire robots which happens to be X-rated? I’ve read it at sex-positive events before where people laughed themselves silly. Does anyone print funny speculative smut? @oglaf has an appreciative audience, so where might mine be hiding? #ShortStory #SFF #smut #WritingCommunity #publishing #porn #comedy #humorist #humourist #SpaceMarines #Aliens #Vampires #Robots
