nerdofwhimsy : It’s Project for Awesome! And that means it’s art perk time! This year I have not just my own work to share, but also my mom’s! She made the Hank and John Giving Bunnies, and I made little sets of matching Hanklerfish goodies with a notebook, a pin, and a constellation patch. If you contribute at the Nerdfighter Art perk level on the indiegogo, one of these cool perks might be yours…

For the Whitescapes Art Assignment , I took a white piece of paper outside to photograph with the white snow on my white car. Then I came inside and recorded my observations on the paper. Transcript: The paper looked bright and blue against the snow, a more neutral white beneath the paper. The wind* fought my ill-prepared plan, ut I managed to get some snow on top of the paper. Against the blue,…

Why is Lee Marvin Always 30? (or: If You Build It, They Will Come)

etraytin : Okay, Night Vale buddies, consider this. Lee Marvin was born (According to Wikipedia, which traffics in time, and therefore is inherently unreliable) in 1924, so would’ve turned 30 for the first subjective time in 1954. In 1954, Marvin worked on the film Bad Day at Black Rock , also starring Spencer Tracy and Robert Ryan. Like much of his early work, it was a supporting role, this time…

ticktockdearie : noahzernee : spawkward : ticktockdearie : concept: a TV show runs for a decent number of years. More than four. The characterizations stay consistent. The writers don’t do anything wildly inappropriate like excuse rape or abuse. No one you’ve invested hours upon hours of your life into has their story reduced to a “shocking” death scene that has no meaning beyond that shock value.…

cumaeansibyl : ithelpstodream : Here’s a MLK quote I’d love to see white people share. “Whites, it must frankly be said, are not putting in a similar mass effort to reeducate themselves out of their racial ignorance. It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
