Plaid Isolation
I found this old family photo of my brother’s birthday party from 1978. Look how every kid is wearing Plaid! Even our carpet was Plaid! I decided to eliminate everything in the photo that wasn’t Plaid and see what we end up with. And, well.. that’s what we end up with. A pointless experiment, but sometimes you just have to follow through on those weird ideas.

The 70s were a glorious time for my plaid-wearing brethren.

“Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents … and the end of the world is evidently approaching.”

benchaplinhayun:

The Lions Mane Jellyfish is the largest jellyfish in the world. They have been swimming in arctic waters since before the dinosaurs (over 650 million years ago) and are among some of the oldest surviving species in the world.

The largest can come in at about 6 meters and has tentacles over 50 meters long. Pretty amazing when you think these things have been swimming around for so long.

They have hundreds of poisonous tentacles that it used to catch passing by fish. it then slowly drags in it’s prey and eats it.

They have been causing havoc with Japanese fishermen, ripping and clogging up nets.

Emma's First Poem

Fri, 01 Oct 2010 13:48:00 -0500

Ants on the ground,
It’s a sunny day.
Ants on the ground,
It’s the first day of May.

They laugh and sing and have some fun.
They dance in the bright sun.
I step on one because it’s on the floor.
I found more ants but they ran out the door.
