Alan Rickman's Farewell Letter To "Harry Potter" Will Make You Emotional
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, January 14, 2016
“A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.”
Actor Alan Rickman, known and loved by many as Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series, has passed away after a battle with cancer.
Warner Bros.
Since news of his death, fans on Tumblr have been sharing this letter written by Rickman in 2011 and published in Empire Magazine.
Empire Magazine
I have just returned from the dubbing studio where I spoke into a microphone as Severus Snape for absolutely the last time. On the screen were some flashback shots of Daniel, Emma and Rupert from ten years ago. They were 12. I have also recently returned from New York, and while I was there, I saw Daniel singing and dancing (brilliantly) on Broadway. A lifetime seems to have passed in minutes.
Three children have become adults since a phone call with Jo Rowling, containing one small clue, persuaded me that there was more to Snape than an unchanging costume, and that even though only three of the books were out at that time, she held the entire massive but delicate narrative in the surest of hands.
It is an ancient need to be told stories. But the story needs a great storyteller. Thanks for all of it, Jo.
– Alan Rickman
Thank you for being part of the story, Alan. We will remember you, always.

This Children's Book For Adults Will Make You Laugh Out Loud
Posted by Unknown on Thursday, January 14, 2016
“Words in a different cultural context mean different things, and we shouldn’t get too hung up on them.”
P is for Pussy is a hilarious children's book that illustrates the alphabet using double entendres, but it's actually more for adults than anyone else.
Blacksky Media
Elissa Blount Moorhead, a writer living in Maryland, authored the book alongside illustrator Melthem Sahin because P is For Pussy is the kind of book she wishes she had when she read children's stories to her own kids.

"When my oldest child was young I went out of my way to search New York City and beyond for books that didn't also lull me to sleep," Moorhead told BuzzFeed.
"I wanted looked for books that had sophisticated illustration, design, funny ideas and also concepts that would entertain her and hold my interest. After jokingly re-writing an alphabet book of hers with adult concepts, it become clear to me I had to create the book I wanted to see."

The writer said she enjoyed collaborating with Sahin because they "shared a non-American, non-normative, and feminist view."
"There were references that I used in the book that highlight words from the Black lexicon, the hip hop lexicon, and the feminist lexicon," Moorhead explained. "I hope that some of these inside jokes and winks will be enduring for audiences and communities that I love and that love me."
