”This is my favorite photo in the world - me and Linus, born to a dairy cow and ordered to be killed when the farmer saw he was a male (and thus useless in the dairy industry). A compassionate individual intervened, and he was brought to a sanctuary. I met him when he was a few days old and 60 pounds, and he would always try to sit on my lap. Today, 7 years young and 1500 pounds, he still tries to sit on my lap.”

- Colleen Patrick-Goudreau

odditiesoflife:

Rainbow Eucalyptus

The bark is smooth, but flaky as it sheds layers on various places at different times along the tree, revealing new colors and keeping up the appearance of a rainbow. As the newly exposed bark slowly ages, it changes from bright green to a darker green, then bluish to purplish, and then pink-orange. Finally, the color becomes a brownish maroon right before exfoliation occurs. Since this process is happening in different zones of the trunk and in different stages, simultaneously, the colors are varied and almost constantly changing. As a result, the tree will never have the same color pattern twice, making it like a work of living art.

Literary Magazine?: An Open Letter

Mon, 20 May 2013 22:56:00 -0400

To All Creative Persons It May Concern:

Hello! In 2008, when John and Hank first entered my life in Brotherhood 2.0, seventeen-year-old me could all but fathom the implications of Nerdfighteria for my entire life up to this point. As I finished high school and transitioned into college, I was elated to find admirable minds who similarly embraced “the Art of being a Nerd.” Nerdfighteria and its veritable sister-movement, Wizard Rock, led me to some of the most important friendships and inspirations of my life.

For many moons, I have visited an idea that possibly others have had, but which (to my knowledge) has never been quite realized in the Nerdfighter community, though similar projects have sporadically arisen over the years. In short, I think this community, our community, could do with a literary magazine.

Perhaps it is different for everyone, but to me, the identity of the Nerdfighter has consistently seemed like a force to draw people upward, bring them together, and help them grow, which would also comprise the essence of this proposed publication. Another invaluable benefit of such an endeavor would be the indelible exposure of obscure writers, artists, and editors––drawing us upward and helping us grow.

Having been previously involved in campus media and self-publishing, I am largely aware of what this type of project would entail, but for a community which so prevailingly encompasses digital media, I think new solutions to distribution will be not only pioneering but necessary. I have begun looking into potential methods of printing, though I do see great promise in PDFs.

A literary magazine has many creative and editorial needs. Therefore, if you are reading this open letter, I ask you to please get in touch. We’ll need all the talent we can get, whether you are a novelist, poet, short story writer, memoirist, essayist, critic, serial writer, painter, sculptor, cartoonist, photographer, graphic designer, editor, or lion-tamer. Well, in truth, not so much on the lion-taming. I’m against that.

You can email me at charlottelomedico@gmail.com. I would love to hear what anyone and everyone has to say on this topic, because I have secretly believed for many moons that this project could be important and wonderful.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours most respectfully in awesome,
Charlotte LoMedico

If I were a child watching The Name of the Doctor, I would have gotten very confused about what it means to be or have a wife. Though a glorious episode, it is rife with strange treatment of wives, from the Doctor having put his wife on a backup file, to Vastra having her wife “restarted.” Though “wife” is probably my least-favorite word in the English language, I am not looking at this through an offended or even objectively feminist lens at all. I just noticed it and thought, “Moffat, what are we saying about wives here?”
