We’ve teamed up with the National Park Service to encourage children to go outside and explore nature. And as a bonus, Elmo and Murray get to dress up like rangers! And use binoculars! And wear awesome hats!

Sorry if you’re jealous.

(Read more about the initiative here. And then, go outside!)

^^Thank you, Brian. You make this “why I don’t subscribe to labels” thing very easy to explain.

Heike Mutter & Ulrich Genth - Tiger & Turtle (2011) - A walk-along “roller coaster”

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU DO THE LOOP-DE-LOOP

DO YOU HAVE TO RUN AND DO YOUR BEST OR WHAT

Who looked at roller coasters and thought ‘You know what? We need to capture that experience, but at a profoundly leisurely pace’?

Dirty thunderstorms

A dirty thunderstorm (also, Volcanic lightning) is a weather phenomenon that occurs when lightning is produced in a volcanic plume. A study in the journal Science indicated that electrical charges are generated when rock fragments, ash, and ice particles in a volcanic plume collide and produce static charges, just as ice particles collide in regular thunderstorms.

I just had the sweetest, tiniest women come into the store. They were both easily in their eighties, hair done up in curls, matching outfits, an entire barrel of perfume each. I thought, okay, they think the old toy store is still in this building…

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

“

As I grow older, and the world becomes that much larger and more complicated, it’s hard not to put aside childish things and ask that your heroes are more like yourself. Superman isn’t like that. Instead of bringing our heroes down to our size, we have to strive to reach Superman’s heights. And that’s hard work. So Superman becomes trite or too simple for these complicated times, because the truth is harder to admit – that to strive to be a good person, to see things with hope instead of despair, is just too hard. Who can live to those lofty ideals? That’s a lot to ask of anyone.

And you know, religious figures have too much… stuff wrapped up in them to be effective role models, in my opinion. At least Superman got to punch bad guys when they tried to hurt the people of Earth. And he seemed to be having a great time doing it. If you’re going to base your life around an ideal, why not Superman? This faithless man will gladly subscribe to that religion.

And so, I refuse to live in a cynical world, where I can change nothing. That I simply must endure these horrible times that I can only watch. I won’t live like that. I want to be Superman. Because Superman is real. I’ve seen him. So have you. You just have to know where to look. You have to let Superman in.

If people want to be cynics, that’s their right. But not me. Look, up in the sky. That’s me. And you, if you want.

”

- Nordling, “We Need Superman Now More Than Ever”

I hope this gets to you guys like it got to me.
