* Back in NJ
* Lots of feelings about Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad & The Vampire Diaries.*
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
This is GORGEOUS. Either new art or newly posted, 12 days ago on Twitter by digital artist Jay Sean. *melts*
LOVE IT
One day, I will own furniture as beautiful as these…
All these beauties can be found at Fabulous & Baroque.
They will all be in my home, god they’re so glorious. I can’t wait to have my own place again and decorate it so perfectly
I actually happen to have a victorian home. These would fit perfectly in it.
I love this style
Yes pls.
If I had furniture like this, it’d be difficult to do anything but lounge around looking unspecifically evil all day
Important furniture for my vampire lair

She argues there’s another way to fight crime. “We ought to invest a lot more in our public schools. You know, feed the kids breakfast, lunch, and dinner; have after-school activities; keep the schools open until nine o’clock in the evenings and on weekends; invest in things like the Boys and Girls Club and the Park District—I mean, everything, basically, to dramatically ramp up the investments in our children.”
But even in Democrat-dominated Cook County, it’s hard to imagine that happening. “I was at an event last week, a fund-raising event, actually, where somebody said, ‘All my neighbors are Republicans—people who live on my block who I like, who wouldn’t support the idea you were just promulgating,’” Preckwinkle recalled. “And he said the people on his block he knew would rather pay to keep somebody incarcerated than to support music lessons or soccer team memberships or basketball team uniforms for kids in poor neighborhoods. “We’ve got in this country such distorted values. In the last 30 or 40 years we’ve invested all this money in our prison system, and our schools are starving for money.”

that first paragraph up there—the stuff about investing in after school activities and keeping the schools open until 9pm, etc. —I’m thinking about that in context to of the Emergency Managers in Michigan. And how if they were *really* invested in fixing economic problems rather than privatization, they’d be figuring out ways to do *exactly* what she is suggesting. Making the schools an essential part of the community means that youth don’t drop out and people don’t transfer to other districts. it means that people *move into* that district.
another example, what would happen if community groups were trained and paid to go to houses in the community and clean up lead? not only would it provide jobs, but when there’s a proven correlation between lead levels and low achievment in school—what effect would it have on student’s test schools and ability to focus and stay in school if their bodies aren’t being poisoned? there are seriously NO foundation grants for this sort of thing? why aren’t city mayors, councils, EMs, etc working their asses off to find foundation grants and corporate investment in cleaning up lead so that public schools can stay open—instead of building a whole new building to stick a charter school in?

Next time I hear that we should fight racism with cool, calm logic, I will be thinking about this.

Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.
She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey.
‘Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,’ said the artist. (read the rest here).

Sometimes I want to message dudes and berate them on their shitty choice of dating profile pictures.
Bro. Come on. Do you really think the best picture of you is the one where you halfheartedly crop out the lady in a bikini sitting on your lap?
Or the picture that is clearly a professional shot from your own wedding?
Cropping out most of the lady in the white dress doesn’t make it any less obvious.

You’ll be fine. You’re 25. Feeling unsure and lost is part of your path. Don’t avoid it. See what those feelings are showing you and use it. Take a breath. You’ll be okay. Even if you don’t feel okay all the time.

“Wherever I go the real hard-core drug dealers come up to me and confide in me. I almost feel guilty turning around and saying: ‘Ello, mate. My name’s Idris and I’m from London.’ I don’t want to break the illusion.” - On why he uses his American accent when talking to fans of “The Wire”
