Letter from Birmingham Jail →

longformorg: There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair. I hope, sirs, you can understand our legitimate and unavoidable impatience. You express a great deal of anxiety over our willingness to break laws. This is certainly a legitimate concern. Since we so diligently urge people to obey the Supreme Court’s...

Me: A RAND study from 1999 shows that raising the college graduation rate of Hispanics to that of non-Hispanic whites would increase spending on public education by 10 percent nationwide, but the costs would be more than offset by savings in public health and benefits, as well as increased tax revenues resulting from higher incomes.

Music video for Our Deal by Best Coast, directed by Drew Barrymore “Romeo & Juliet times West Side Story divided by ‘The Outsiders’ plus an American Apparel wardrobe” and really swoopy hair. I love this. I would see this as a full length movie. Plus, I always enjoy a good dance fight.

Your Mother And I: a short story by Dave Eggers

I told you about that, didn’t I? About when your mother and I moved the world to solar energy and windpower, to hydro, all that? I never told you that? Can you hand me that cheese? No, the other one, the cheddar, right. I really thought I told you about that. What is happening to my head? Well, we have to take the credit, your mother and I, for reducing our dependence on oil and for...

UPDATE: Downtown Sounds: New Music Mondays

thegirlsoflincolnpark: Last night we went to see Iron and Wine at New Music Monday’s in Millennium Park (which was amazing), but we were BLOWN AWAY by the opening band, The Head + the Heart. This Seattle folk-rock band played a high-energy, soul-soothing set from their self titled album, The Head and the Heart. Not only are their harmony-fueled ballads good on the ears, they are certainly...

Tina Fey's prayer for her daughter →

newsweek: braiker: First, Lord: No tattoos. May she be Beautiful but not Damaged, for it’s the Damage that draws the creepy soccer coach’s eye, not the Beauty. When the Crystal Meth is offered, May she remember the parents who cut her grapes in half And stick with Beer. Lead her away from Acting but not all the way to Finance. Honestly. It ain’t easy being a young lady today.

Who Wants Love? →

826chi: By Quinn W., grade 4 Love is a great thing because it’s made out of hearts and beauty and prettiness and handsomeness and awesomeness. And POW! Loves goes slow. Love is ridiculous. Love is fast like a pony with a wizard costume on and a green mustache. Love is sad. Love is crazy. Love is around the world. Love is a deck of cards.

Notes from my ecology class (I had to take this class to finish my minor/get all my sciency credits… Not thrilled about the whole situation.) -endotherms: rely primarily on internal heat production, mostly birds and mammals -insects do this; also do it as a defense mechanism (example: bees) (beads?)
