California at its best is a beacon of equal rights and equal opportunities. If we want to prosper together, we must respect each other. That’s why we must resolve to restore marriage equality for all Californians. Let this work start today. It is up to every single one of us who supports marriage equality to reach out to those who still disagree with our position and have a personal conversation about why it is so important to treat every Californian equally. Please, sign our petition today to support marriage equality - lend your name and your voice to our cause.

“Dot to Death - Ian Curtis” by No Days Off, each dot traces the life and death of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis. Available at Soma Gallery.

From Kitsune Noir: I got an email this morning from Family, one of the best indie book/record/zine shop in Los Angeles, saying that they were having a release party for AsDSSka’s new record, 25. AsDSSKa is made up of Aska Matsumiya and David Scott Stone, together making this really dreamy and ambient kind of music, with Matsumiya gently singing over the top.

The video above is for the song Hold On, and it was directed by Spike Jonze and Crystal Moselle. I think it’s a lovely video, lots of small moments being captured that go really well with the dream-like vibe of the song.
