Rad Cam, I want your Bod.
I can report that large numbers of students, whether seeking alternatives to violence in their lives or sickened by governments that rely on the gun, have embraced the advice offered to the young a century ago by Prince Peter Kropotkin: ‘Think about the kind of world you want to live and work in. What do you need to know to build that world? Demand that your teachers teach you that.’
There’s a lot of great teachers at this school who teach their students a lot of important stuff, like how to drive and fractions. But you teach your students how to dream. As far as I’m concerned, there’s nothing more important than that.
This needs more awesome.

I’ve had this on repeat since the end of last week. So. Good.
Just another reason why I love Shawn and Gus
- Gus: How do you not have a black suit? What grown man doesn't own a black suit?
- Shawn: Besides me? The Joker, Colonel Sanders, Matthew McConaughey.
- Gus: McConaughey doesn't count. He doesn't own a shirt.
- Shawn: He doesn't need a shirt.
- Gus: You know that's right.

‘The Ocean of Life’ — And the Sorrow Beneath the Sea
“We are living on borrowed time. We can’t cheat nature by taking more than is produced indefinitely, no matter how fervently politicians or captains of industry might wish it. In essence, what we have done in the last few decades is to mine fish, bringing them in at rates faster than they can replace themselves. Sharks, bluefin tuna, cod, Chilean sea bass, all have declined steeply as a result of excessive fishing. The price that must be paid for today’s rapaciousness will be tomorrow’s scarcity, or in some places, seas without fish. If we follow our current trajectory, that point may be only 40 or 50 years away.” -Callum Roberts (via The Daily Beast)
Falling in love for the first time is always dangerous, but when you’re foolish enough to fall in love with a fictional character you can pretty much be assured it’s going to be unrequited. Also, you’re not going to be the first, or the last, for that matter, to have been involved with this fictional character. He’s got a string of women, some of whom have been involved with him for years, rereading him again and again. And in the long run he belongs to his author, heart and soul.
