Why Do I Write About Race So Much? Or: What’s Love Got to Do With It?

Loveless Sociology

Mar 14 2016

I don’t usually write in first person that much, but it’s been a while since I’ve written anything (has it really been almost a year?), so I thought I’d take a page out of Joselyn’s book and bring a little personal touch to this week’s post to reintroduce myself. Plus, it’s a blog, so I can do whatever the fuck I want. As both of my frequent readers can probably attest, I spend a lot of time talking about race. Specifically, the myriad of social and psychological reasons why black people in this country are fucked, and why that’s not […]

Getting ready to post the comic tonight, so I didn’t get to draw for the Monday post (there won’t always be a Monday post btw, but moreso yay than nay). So I decided to color this image I drew last year of Cupid looking at a peach that I thought was funny. Why? It’s my apprentice Cory’s fault. While getting ready to do a Loveless initiation shoot I told him to play some music as we set up. What came on blew my mind to say the least. I was literally laughing so hard I couldn’t concentrate. The culprit of […]

How to Date Carefree Girls

Feb 22 2016

In the past few years, mostly thanks to Tumblr, there’s a different kind of chick that has received a lot of visibility. The infamous: Carefree girl. You like the idea of her because you’re an artist or some other kind of popular social outcast who likes to go against the grain. In the same way that you prefer the H&M lesbia- I mean men’s – section over say, Jimmy Jazz, you’re interested in girls that break up the monotony of carbon copy, basic bad bitches who all look the same (long weave, Michael Kors bag, body con dress, Aldo heels). […]

Why do I hate Valentine’s Day?

Two Cheetos and a French Fry

Feb 14 2016

I wrote a blog before this one that I submitted it, but I wasn’t happy with it. It made me really think about my hate for this particular day, and I felt uncomfortable talking about it. I don’t like feeling uncomfortable so my writing was a bit off. I am used to sharing when I want to, but for some reason, I had a hard time tapping into why it was that I hated this day. I asked for an opportunity to write another post. So here goes. I didn’t realize that my hatred for this day had to do […]

Loveless Sociology

Aug 10 2015

This week marks the first anniversary of both my marriage to my wife, Brianna, in Atlanta, Georgia, and the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. What follows is a reflection written by my father that originally appeared on Brianna’s blog last fall. – Brad REFLECTION ON A WEDDING — AND A KILLING On a beautiful warm afternoon of Sunday, August 10, 2014, my son, who is 24 years-old and white, married a 23 year-old Black woman in an outdoor service performed by an Episcopal priest in Piedmont Park in the heart of midtown Atlanta, Georgia. On the previous afternoon of August […]

What’s up all? Mel here. Taking a break from drawing just to put you all on game for a sec… or 2. So read the whole thing. Something cool’s at the end. Ya see, for those that don’t know me personally, I am a workaholic to the fullest. Like it’s intense. Some type of way I’ve convinced myself that normal things waste my time from reaching my goals in life. So with that said I barely watch television. Key word barely. Because I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t. So what guilty pleasures do I let slip through […]

So I wrote a blog on LovelessLovebomb.com to talk about the preorder for our new Cupid tank. Below is what I wrote. Yeah I copied and pasted it, but I promise I’m not that lazy. It just captured everything I wanted to say. Few things I guess (see for those reading it twice, this is like bonus features). Firstly, the tank is cool and all but where is all of the great Loveless Society content this month??? Well don’t fret, I gave the team a break this month, but we will all be back. We are gearing up for some […]

Cupid's Chronicles

May 13 2015

That title was no mistake. Merely me mashing my forehead on the keyboard in the cloud of thoughts running through my head as of late. It’s a good thing I am an exceptional drinker of alcohols and such. Let me decompress… *farts* Letting someone back in your life can be a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I still love her and it’s good to have her around. On the other, I still love her and it’s hard to have her around. Why are we forced to ‘choose a side’ on such a thing? On anything for that matter? Love is […]

How Monogamy Ended Up on My “List of Things Not to Give a Fuck About”

May 11 2015

So I have this list. It’s official name is: Things to Not Give a Fuck About if You Want to Maintain Your Integrity and Sanity. In case it isn’t self explanatory, this list is something that is consciously evolving in my life as it represents themes, concepts, and ideas that are unhealthy, counterproductive, violent, and/or stupid as fuck… to me. I found a list necessary, as opposed to something less concrete, because of the deceptive nature of the items on it. See, most of the entries on this list are things that have been normalized or uplifted to the point […]
