Chromatic Typewriter Prints
Tyree Callahan has recycled (or upcycled, perhaps) a classic 1937 Underwood typewriter by replacing letters with sponges soaked across the spectrum with bright yellows, reds, blues and combinations thereof.
aaaaah! is this a thing!? :D i need to do this with my broken typewriter! ^_^
Light Sculpture Produces Forest of Wild Tree Shadows

With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.
Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.Honestly, this is even better than you think it will be.
Politicalprof: If NASA marketed itself this way, we’d already have colonies on Mars…
All of our astronauts should be this self-aware.
analyticalnerdwithalightsaber:
i love how potato in french is pomme de terre, which pretty much means “earth apple.”
like what stupid frenchman saw this:
and said “zis petite légume looks like a, how you say, APPLE! hmmm… but it grows in ze earth… HON HON HON! MAIS OUI! C’EST UNE POMME DE TERRE!”
The exact translation from the dutch word is earth-apple too. Like EXACTLY
But in French we also use the word “patate”! Maybe it’s a Canadian thing?
so, with the recent terrorist attacks
and the war on terror and stuff
i have been thinking, media,
why are you focusing so much on islam?
yes, you, winnipeg sun, even you, globe and mail
do you even realise how you sound?
“had known islamic ties”
“read the qur’an”
“prayed five times a day”
are we really in a time when praying
looking up to a higher power
trying to find answers in this confusing and terrible world
is more scary than all the injustice and hate that happens all around us?
when praying five times a day is more shocking
than owning five guns just because you can
because it is your constitutional right to be armed against invisible threats
i would like to pray five times a day
to believe that there is a higher truth
something to turn to when i am lost
i am not a terrorist
and i am not defending people who do terrible things
who preform unspeakably evil acts
i wish i knew why they did it
and maybe they did it for their religion
and maybe they did not
but religion does not equal fanaticism
being muslim does not mean you hate all western culture and civilisation
and just want to destroy everything
to return to a more pure islam
it does not mean you are a bad person
a fanatic
no
not even if you follow your religion’s guidelines
and pray five times a day
i am not muslim
i am not good at following the rules of any religion
but i would like to believe that there is some higher power
some reason for everything
and i would like to have the faith to pray five times a day
i would like to believe in convivencia
go back to your castle, isabella and ferdinand
stop imposing your views on a religion you do not even try to understand
i too want answers
i just don’t want blind hate
that is what the bad guys do
and i want to believe humanity is fundamentally good
