“Flight of the Reindeer” by Victoria Reynolds, a native Texan who paints raw meat. Compelling, disgusting, beautiful and terrifying. I both hate it and am glad I saw it.
The Tree That Owns Itself is a white oak tree, widely assumed to have legal ownership of itself and of all land within eight feet (2.4 m) of its base. The tree is located at the corner of Finley and Dearing Streets in Athens, Georgia, USA. The original tree fell in 1942; a new tree was grown from one of its acorns and planted in the same location. The current tree is sometimes referred to as the Son of The Tree That Owns Itself. (via @yjon)that’s right best of wikipedia. nice selection.
I have met that tree.
My entire state is under water. This time last year we were in the midst of a record breaking drought. My parents house survived as we live on a hill but many houses in my neighborhood did not. The picture above is of Buckhead- 10 minutes from where I live. From NYTimes.
Does anyone love Nolan Bushnell? Founder of Atari and Chuck E Cheese? Well, he’s writing a sci-fi book series and it may be awesome.
Early in the Morning– Peter, Paul & Mary
Mary Travers of Peter, Paul, and Mary died last night at the age of 72. The song “Lemon Tree” was my entire childhood musical experience. My mom would play it over and over and over again as we would carpool around town. I have an absurdly detailed knowledge of the PP&M discography. Mary Travers was who my mom wanted to be growing up and still her all-time favorite band.
And has some mighty suspicions about Dora and Diego…
I love this man
