Squashed: The freedom of falling to your death from an airplane

squashed:

You can do whatever you want. There are no laws to follow. At least, not human ones.

Gravity can be a bit of a tyrant. It’s narrowed your options markedly. In fact, you’re down to one: death by falling. But until then you can do pretty much whatever you want—so long as it’s not incompatible with…

motherjones: letsdolaunch: GZA of Wu-Tang Clan to release a science inspired album: “Dark Matter” “There’s no parental advisory, no profanity, no nudity,” he said. “The only thing that’s going to be stripped bare is the planets.” Yup. If I’m not mistaken, that’s Neil DeGrasse Tyson sitting with GZA.

Squashed: On Standing Behind Your Actions

Yesterday I noted how ironic it was that some of Romney’s super-rich Super-PAC donors were outraged that the Obama administration had released the same sort of information about them that becomes publicly available whenever normal people give normal political donations.

Tajarin with asparagus, Chinese broccoli, pea shoots and shiso. Topped with sheep’s milk ricotta and bottarga. I’m discovering that for making a big batch of pasta at home (1 lb or more) using the wok let’s me toss the pasta with the cooked ingredients to emulsify with pasta water and olive oil just like I’m at work. So there you go.  (Taken with instagram)

“Yeah no, I mean I don’t bust up into conversations about how a lot of Christians are total shitheels about is and say “don’t you mean SOME Christians”. But matters of religion are also not like matters or race/sex/or gender. Christians are a huge group and include many oppressed peoples, so it’s nowhere near a monolith of privilege. There are literally hundreds of sects of Christianity that are all different, so if I’m from a Reform church I can’t come “collect” my Fundie brethren anymore than I can come collect someone who is Orthodox. But we do all come under the umbrella of Christianity. Also the conversation being sparked with that billboard is about differences within the Christian Church, so it’s a valid conversation about what sects and churches are “like that” and “not like that”.” Glossylalia:   (via rosa—sparks)

“When someone works for less pay than she can live on - when, for example, she goes hungry so that you can eat more cheaply and conveniently - then she has made a great sacrifice for you, she has made you a gift of some part of her abilities, her health, and her life. The “working poor,” as there are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society. They neglect their own children so that the children of others will be cared for; they live in substandard housing so that other homes will be shiny and perfect; they endure privation so that inflation will be low and stock prices high. To be a member of the working poor is to be an anonymous donor, a nameless benefactor, to everyone else.”

Barbara Ehrenreich, “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By In America”

I recently read this book, and while several observations and statistics stuck out to me, this quote, on the last page, I believe really sums things up quite well.

Forget the billionaire “job creators” — our working poor are really the ones supporting our economy.
