another visual literacy fail—-> Shitsburgh Pittsburgh unveils statue of Mr. Rogers that looks like it’s made of poo. “expressive hand of the artist” is for abstraction purposes, not likenesses. at least not likenesses of people you liked. maybe this is passive aggression?

“ There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter—the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last—the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York’s high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum, or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company.

i love that little book by E.B and especially this part of it. I came here in 1983 and made it my home and it is very much part of who I am.

Here is New York, E. B. White, 1949 (via cdixon)

For some reason Tumblr hates animated gifs, so click on the image to see the process :). I bet there’s an increase in beard shaving during the days before halloween. I can’t be the only one.

This is a cake made to look Lil Wayne. For Ireland Baldwin, the recipient of Alec Baldwin’s “rude little pig” rant. We’re taking notes for our wedding cake, I assure you.
