Mightier Than the Sword

Jeremiah Griswold of Walnut Hills’ White Whale Tattoo shades the Venn diagram between self-expression and social justice. While living in Guatemala in 2007, he fell in love with the country and began volunteering in schools and gang prisons in La Limonada, one of Central America’s largest slums, helping design cover-up tattoos for former gang members who were starting over.

The Linguistics of Legislation

We decided to look into Ohio and Northern Kentucky laws to see if there was anything else totally absurd (possibly sexist) left in writing in the Ohio Revised Code/Cincinnati Municipal Code/other codes. And while there was nothing too bizarre — logically, you can’t walk around in a mask, even a luchador one, in case you rob a bank or stab somebody — but some of the laws’ requirements and wording are hilarious, incredibly obvious and/or idiotic. We’ve collected some of our favorites to keep you up-to-date on what you can and cannot do in areas around town. Be warned: You have to keep a lot of your bodily fluids to yourself.
