Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great circle of life.

ruineshumaines:

Forming and Fragmenting by Andre Wee is a series of imagery that depict portraits that exist in an eternal state of transition. It is however, uncertain as to whether these figures are in the process of “forming” or “fragmenting” due to it existing in such an undefined state. This inability to define, ironically labels these entities as beings that embody the idea of a limbo. An experience of being of two different states at the same time and yet, not belonging to either.

PSA: Your Default Narrative Settings Are Not Apolitical

PSA: Your Default Narrative Settings Are Not Apolitical:

psdo:

Recently, SFF author Tansy Rayner Roberts wrote an excellent post debunking the idea that women did nothing interesting or useful throughout history, and that trying to write fictional stories based on this premise of feminine insignificance is therefore both inaccurate and offensive. To quote:

“History is not a long series of centuries in which men did all the interesting/important things and women stayed home and twiddled their thumbs in between pushing out babies, making soup and dying in childbirth.

History is actually a long series of centuries of men writing down what they thought was important and interesting, and FORGETTING TO WRITE ABOUT WOMEN. It’s also a long series of centuries of women’s work and women’s writing being actively denigrated by men. Writings were destroyed, contributions were downplayed, and women were actively oppressed against, absolutely.

But the forgetting part is vitally important. Most historians and other writers of what we now consider “primary sources” simply didn’t think about women and their contribution to society. They took it for granted, except when that contribution or its lack directly affected men.

This does not in any way mean that the female contribution to society was in fact less interesting or important, or complicated, simply that history—the process of writing down and preserving of the facts, not the facts/events themselves—was looking the other way.”

The relevance of this statement to the creation of SFF stories cannot be understated. Time and again, we see fans and creators alike defending the primacy of homogeneous – which is to say, overwhelmingly white, straight and male – stories on the grounds that anything else would be intrinsically unrealistic.

archiemcphee:

For a stunning series entitled Blackwater, Hawaii-based diver and photographer Joshua Lambus takes beautiful photos of luminous aquatic creatures against a perfectly black background that enables us to better appreciate just how incredibly awesome they are.

Lambus says, “Now being underwater I’m inundated with stories, struggles, triumphs. Seeing our fragile ecosystem inch ever closer to the verge of destruction pushes me to continue my work, not only for artistic value, but for a far greater purpose. I hope to tell a story and ask for help for those without a voice.”

Here’s hoping we’ll see some of these enchanting cephalopods in our dreams tonight.

Visit My Modern Metropolis to view more of Joshua Lambus’ astonishing Blackwater series and then head over to his own website to check out more of his photographic work.

You didn’t think too deeply about this did you? Of course not. If you were prone to thinking deeply about things… you probably wouldn’t be a Feminist, now would you?

I’m screaming “THAT’S THE POINT THAT’S LITERALLY THE POINT YOU JUST MADE THE EXACT POINT” at my computer screen right now.

pip: "LOOK FOR THE CLUE HERE. THERE ISNT ONE. YOU MUST BE BORN WITH A BRAIN PROBLEM TO SOLVE IT. GO HOME"
gogol: dsgjkgjlsdkgjslkdjgsaldkgj right.
gogol: i like to think that's what his first lecture was and ever after he's just been reeling off lists of cases he solved by means none of them could hope to replicate
pip: honestly they probably just employ him because they feel like it is a good idea to keep him occupied somehow
pip: less of a chance that he will wander off and get into some kind of trouble.
gogol: yes
gogol: i mean i imagine the students like him. he's likable.
gogol: they place bets on where the plaid will go.
pip: yeah. I agree
pip: I mean they all turn up and seem very attentive.
gogol: they all look very studious during his lectures so they must be--
gogol: yes
pip: probably they also place bets on which classes will be interrupted and when and by whom
gogol: ...yeah
gogol: it's a good like...way to spice up your schedule.
gogol: you can see famous people.
gogol: see famous people ruthlessly manhandle your professor
pip: there is a slideshow!
pip: sometimes if youre lucky will was distracted preparing it and it is half just shots of his dogs.
gogol: KDGJLKSDJGSD GOD
gogol: WOW YEAH.
gogol: i'd take that class. probably twice.
pip: same
pip: i was just now regretting deeply that i cannot.
