Emancipation

I'm Veronika, and I'm 19.

Basically, this is just whatever I find interesting currently. Unfortunately, this changes often.

Consistencies include: Jeff Bridges, polar bears, food (specifically breakfast), beards and space. And dinosaurs.

Cheers.

Camera Obscure with Abelardo Morell: “In setting up a room to make this kind of photograph, I cover all windows with black plastic in order to achieve total darkness. Then, I cut a small hole in the material I use to cover the windows. This allows an inverted image of the view outside to flood onto the walls of the room. I would focus my large-format camera on the incoming image on the wall and expose the film.”

The way I see it, most of contemporary poetry’s problems result from the fact that the vast majority of people—at least in America—never see a poem anywhere besides school. For the vast majority of that vast majority, “school” means high school. And the designers of high school curricula are notoriously—and, I must say, puzzlingly—bad at presenting the students with poems they might actually like. Honestly, the goal is ostensibly to make kids like this stuff, so you give them “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud?” Not, say, “Kubla Khan” or “Howl” or A Season in Hell or any of the thousands of poems that would make high school kids instantly realize that poetry is the most badass art form and love it forever, but instead the straight-up fruitiest fucking poem you could possibly find?

The best Karamazov is Ivan Karamazov

Ivan Karamazov is awesome but come on…show a little lovin to Smerdyakov. He was the proverbial cheese on eggs. It just wouldn’t be as good without him.

A View Inside Iran

Iranian youths shoot water at each other with water guns, during water fights at the Water and Fire Park in northern Tehran, on July 29, 2011. During the summer, Iran was trying to put down a new wave of civil disobedience - flash mobs of young people who broke into boisterous fights with water guns in public parks. Dozens of water fighters were arrested and a top judiciary official warned that “counter-revolutionaries” were behind them. (AP Photo/Milad Beheshti) #

More scary pictures from Iran!

Oh god, the Axis of Evil is training future soldiers. We stand no chance. We should enact more sanctions/invade their country IMMEDIATELY.

Architect Vincent Callebaut designed Lilypads to be self-sufficient floating cities that can each accommodate up to 50,000 climate change refugees. Inspired by the shape of Victoria water lilies, these eco-cities would be made of polyester fibers and built around a central lagoon, and they would feature three mountains and marinas — dedicated to work, shopping and entertainment. Aquaculture farms and suspended gardens would be located below the water line, and the cities would run completely on renewable energy. Callebaut plans for his Lilypad concept to become a reality in 2100.
