Floating Sheep’s map charting hate tweets, which allows you to search on several flavors of hate, is a creative use of data and mapping to raise awareness.

This should probably be corrected for population density, but boy does Appalachia look like a hateful and backwards place.

I’m not sure which setting this screen-cap is from, but if you set it to all homophobic tweets, the eastern side of the country is RED. If you set it to total racist tweets, the east side of the country is RED. They even make fun of disabled people more than the rest of the country. Jeeez…. about to go back east for two weeks. Hopefully I won’t run into any of the reasons I left that side of the country in the first place.

Going into a hair dye experiment already accepting that you may come out looking like a melty crayon makes you fearless—possibly dangerous.

Some quick shots of the two Nevermores we’ll be taking to ComicCon. I couldn’t find my Gormenghast dvds, but I certainly had ‘em in mind when we decided to do the albino (although I believe the gormenghast bird was leucistic? I thought I remembered blue eyes…).

The skull is one of our many bovines; we have so many of ‘em most of them sit outside on the balcony.

These are beautiful!

Doing my final project for anatomy and physiology. Researching the reproductive systems, and I just want to say: I am kind of grossed out by gender bias in scientific explanations of the sex organs. I can understand sticking with the two sexes, as more could be confusing for entry level students, but can we not refer to the female reproduction system as if it is a subset of the male system? Can we not define and describe whole parts of the female reproductive system based solely on how its structures are “like the penis”? Can we discuss the female pleasure cycle in as much detail as we do the male? Maybe we could talk about penetration and the breaking of the hymen like it doesn’t always involve a penis. Oh hey, or maybe not define the vagina strictly and only as a “receptacle for the penis.”

I know it sounds like feminist wank, but some of the language used in articles all over the internet are kind of demoralizing. Seriously. What the hell.

This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.

The human hamster wheel of trying to eke out a living at minimum wage.
