mind-heart:

This is my current little project I’ve got going on, I have a huge list of scientists of various disciplines I’m slowly getting through and putting up on my Redbubble store. When I’ve finished my list I’ll start making sets to sell, but for now they are just available individually on tshirts.

I like the style of these, but there’s something about scientists with no eyes that makes me picture a very peculiar Doctor Who storyline.

“Piracy’s preserving effect, while little known, is actually nothing new. Through the centuries, the tablets, scrolls, and books that people copied most often and distributed most widely survived to the present. Libraries everywhere would be devoid of Homer, Beowulf, and even The Bible without unauthorized duplication.”

- Provocative read on why history needs software piracy. Reminiscent of the story of how the widely pirated first edition of Arabian Nights made it one of the most influential pieces of storytelling in history. (via curiositycounts)

Let's Think This Through: Every Child Dersves a Family:

sociallyconstructed:

I was only recently (and by that I mean like 10 minutes ago) made aware of the “Every Child Deserves a Family Act”, which I have seen as both HR 3827 and HR1681. The purpose:

To prohibit discrimination in adoption or foster care placements based on the sexual orientation, gender identification,…

Lego Lovecraft house, with bricky tentacles:

Lego artist Mr Xenomurphy created this great Lovecraftian horror-house, complete with Lego tentacles. Tentacles have so clearly been missing from Lego for all these years, it’s a wonder they aren’t standard issue now.

Grace Wiley: Snake Lady

When Minneapolis opened its first downtown library in 1889, it housed the Athenaeum, Society of Fine Arts and the Academy of Science on the 4th floor of the building at 10th and Hennepin.

Grace Wiley was a member of the Minnesota Academy of Science and also curator of its collection of animals. She started working with reptiles in 1922 and after the Academy disbanded in 1928, the museum continued on, under the library’s control. In 1928 Wiley was bitten by one of her animals and spent several days in the Minneapolis General Hospital.

Wiley and the reptiles moved to the Chicago Zoological Park in Brookfield, Illinois in 1933. Wiley lost her job in Chicago when she left the cobra cage open after cleaning it and moved to Long Beach, CA.

In Long Beach, Grace amassed a large collection of reptiles, doing serious work on the study of the reptiles and also loaning out 15 foot long King Cobras to movie studios. In 1948, while showing her snakes to a photographer from True Magazine, Wiley attempted to get a new cobra to spread its hood in attack position for a photograph. The cobra finally obliged and then struck Wiley on the finger. Ninety minutes later she was dead.
