As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The perspective is false. For some reason, whenever I tried to make the picture do what I wanted it to do via the conventional laws of perspective, it lost the focus and feel of ascending immensity going on forever. So I discarded true perspective in order to paint it the way that felt right. 3/4

The first day they deployed a high speed ski lift near my hometown, I got nervous and jumped out early, sticking into the side of the ramp like a hummingbird in a door screen
I was too low for the operator to see, but visible to the riders and high enough to be whacked by each chair until stopped

"What does autumn smell like to you?” Maedlynn asked him.
“Death, but not in an evil sense. Autumn has a moribund scent, everything resting and releasing. It smells like sleep and delicate decay, the desperation of life lingering on, the fine vintage of coming snow.”

33) Job titles are arbitrary, but adventurers are weird
A lot of folks have absorbed the idea of the D&D-esque adventurer w/o thinking about how we got that point. Adventurers are fundamentally people who don't fit into established society. They exist outside of it. That's what an adventure is.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’
It was originally ‘ekename.’
‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.”
Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it.
Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).
A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.
