You are walking down the street when you find a mysterious, pink cell phone. You check the contacts for its owner - but you recognise some of these people. You’ve found one of the Sailor Soldiers’ phones, and various characters are listed. There is enough battery power left for you to make one five-minute call.

Who do you phone?

Ami Mizuno. She was always my favorite senshi and since I’m a virgo too we have a lot in common. But I’ve changed a lot since I was little, so Ami is like what I could be but I’m not.

“DiCaprio and Mulligan, meanwhile, don’t seem like star-crossed lovers so much as a delusional man in love with a bauble of a woman. Maybe that’s intentional?”

winterofeightynine:

I took a 7 week coast to coast road trip after being laid off from Boeing. I didn’t have a camper but realized that being able to pull off the road at a rest or truck stop was the way to go to make the trip affordable. With a few sheets of 1/2” plywood and misc. hardware this is what I came up with. The effort was well worth the time and materials.

Someone do this with me

“If owning a gun and knowing how to use it worked, the military would be the safest place for a woman. It’s not.

If women covering up their bodies worked, Afghanistan would have a lower rate of sexual assault than Polynesia. It doesn’t.

If not drinking alcohol worked, children would not be raped. They are.

If your advice to a woman to avoid rape is to be the most modestly dressed, soberest and first to go home, you may as well add “so the rapist will choose someone else”.

If your response to hearing a woman has been raped is “she didn’t have to go to that bar/nightclub/party” you are saying that you want bars, nightclubs and parties to have no women in them. Unless you want the women to show up, but wear kaftans and drink orange juice. Good luck selling either of those options to your friends.

Or you could just be honest and say that you don’t want less rape, you want (even) less prosecution of rapists.”

If grandmothers around the world had a rallying cry, it would probably sound something like “You need to eat!”

Photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s grandmother said something similar to him before one of his many globetrotting work trips. To ensure he had at least one good meal, she prepared for him a dish of ravioli before he departed on one of his adventures.

“In that occasion I said to my grandma ‘You know, Grandma, there are many other grandmas around the world and most of them are really good cooks,” Galimberti wrote via email. “I’m going to meet them and ask them to cook for me so I can show you that you don’t have to be worried for me and the food that I will eat!’ This is the way my project was born!”

The project, “Delicatessen With Love”, took Galimberti to 58 countries where he photographed grandmothers with both the ingredients and finished signature dishes.

Galimberti said many of the subjects for the project were selected serendipitously, picked while he was working on a project about couch surfing that explored the global phenomenon of staying in other people’s houses. Since Galimberti never slept in hotels while working on the project, he was able to come into contact with people who introduced him to grandmothers in the area.

Galimberti acted as photographer and stylist during each shoot with the grandmothers, taking a portrait of both the women and the food they made for him.

From top to bottom:

Inara Runtule, 68, Kekava, Latvia. Silke (herring with potatoes and cottage cheese).

Grace Estibero, 82, Mumbai, India. Chicken vindaloo.

Susann Soresen, 81, Homer, Alaska. Moose steak.

Serette Charles, 63, Saint-Jean du Sud, Haiti. Lambi in creole sauce.

The photographer’s grandmother Marisa Batini, 80, Castiglion Fiorentino, Italy. Swiss chard and ricotta Ravioli with meat sauce.

Normita Sambu Arap, 65, Oltepessi (Masaai Mara), Kenya. Mboga and orgali (white corn polenta with vegetables and goat).

Julia Enaigua, 71, La Paz, Bolivia. Queso Humacha (vegetables and fresh cheese soup).

Fifi Makhmer, 62, Cairo, Egypt. Kuoshry (pasta, rice and legumes pie).

Isolina Perez De Vargas, 83, Mendoza, Argentina. Asado criollo (mixed meats barbecue).

Bisrat Melake, 60, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Enjera with curry and vegetables.

[ I was going to post a long rant about some arrogant white yoga girl who insist people are ignorant for using olive oil to cook and should not eat fish or drink milk or eat cheese because of all sorts of problematic food issues, instead I said, let me focus on those who celebrate food. If you still want to see the link of the article she was waving on her Facebook, there you go. Privileged white people…ugh]

tommaso:

Quando Tumblr era appena agli inizi, Fred Wilson pensava che il fatto di non avere un sistema per fare commenti sul social network fosse sbagliato. Ancora oggi, infatti, l’unico modo per mettere i commenti è installare Disqus. Wilson lo aveva fatto notare più volte a David Karp, il fondatore e amministratore delegato della società, ma lui era stato irremovibile.

Karp voleva che Tumblr fosse un luogo pieno di positività, per questo per interagire con gli altri puoi segnalare un post che ti piace cliccando su un cuore (mentre non puoi segnalare un post che non ti piace); puoi ribloggarlo, aggiungendo eventualmente un commento che finisce nel tuo blog; oppure puoi mandare un messaggio privato al suo autore. Secondo Karp, tutto questo avrebbe allontanato le discussioni fuori luogo.

Oggi che Tumblr è un social network di successo che ospita 106 milioni di blog, Fred Wilson si è reso conto che David Karp aveva ragione: “Io volevo che progettasse qualcosa di simile a WordPress o Typepad, ma lui aveva in mente un’idea diversa. Ha fatto bene a seguire il suo istinto”.

Internazionale » Carta bianca » Seguire l’istinto

Stima per Karp
