It’s not like you guys care or anything. But this is the sign I made for the ProLife March in Washington D.C this week. 

It’s not like you care or anything, but Dr. Seuss was so pro-choice he threatened to sue the pro-life organization misusing and appropriating his words, this quote. Ha.

Dr. Seuss and his wife were lifelong supporters of Planned Parenthood. His widow continues to sue pro-life organizations for using this quote. BTW, the book was about the American post-war occupation of Japan. Not about fetuses.

Darkened Cities by Thierry Cohen imagines the starry skies we’d see in urban areas if we turned off all the lights.

About the project:

Before these pictures can exist, the sky from one place has to be superimposed upon cityscape from another. It is impossible to see this detail in the night sky above a city. Atmospheric and light pollution combine to make looking into the urban sky like looking past bright headlights while driving.

By travelling to places free from light pollution but situated on precisely the same latitude as his cities, Cohen obtains skies which, as the world rotates about its axis, are the very ones visible above the cities a few hours earlier or later. To find the right level of atmospheric clarity, Cohen has to go into the wild places of the earth, the Atacama, the Mojave, the western Sahara.

As more and more of the world’s population becomes urban, and as we lose our connection with the natural world, so it becomes plain that damage is caused by light pollution. There may be connections to certain cancers, and there are psychological burdens of permanent day. The ‘city that never sleeps’ is made up of millions of individuals breaking natural cycles of work and repose. Lose sight of the sky, and you become a rat in a lab.

Cohen hasn’t simply shown us the skies that we’re missing. His cities look dead under the fireworks display above No lights in the windows, no tracers of traffic. They are (in fact) photographed in daylight, when lights shine out less brightly. In urban mythology the city teems with energy and illumines everything around it. Cohen’s pictures are crafted to say the opposite. These are cold cities, cut off from the seemingly infinite energies above.

The Get More Out of Google Infographic Summarizes Online Research Tricks for Students

I consistently forget these tricks. Now I have a visual. Thanks, Internet.

I wish I’d known this in undergrad.

Sending this to my coworkers on Monday.

is fucked up and completely wrong-headed

be happy and supportive woo great but ffs whatever you do don’t treat it like it means nothing or like your responsibility ends at “that’s nice”, particularly when the issues they’re about to face are ones they will almost definitely need your support with

if you dismiss the significance of coming out, your child can think that the upset they feel from being treated like shit for being gay is also meaningless, or that they must be exaggerating it or making it up because hey, being gay means nothing, right? It’s unimportant, and the fact that they’ve been upset and wrestling with it for a while is unimportant too.

It can be as hurtful and dismissive as outright rejection, and I should know, because I had both reactions - one parent who rejected me out of hand for it, and another who treated it like it was meaningless and dismissed my concerns. Both were really fucked up, unhelpful reactions that made it a lot harder to deal with homophobic bullying and to this day discouraged me from sharing anything to do with that part of my life with them.

If that’s your intention, great, you’re fantastic ally parents.

this post just got notes like a month after it last did

and I’m quite proud of it still so there
