I Love Architectural Designs/landscaping Like This, So Cool.

Beautifully magical concept with a beautifully magical painting.

Once In A Blue Moon Imagine a crumbled settlement, so old its ruins have been long overgrown by woodlands and reclaimed by nature. Still, it doesn’t quite want to leave yet.⁣ Once in a blue moon it re-appears, clinging so strongly to the world that when it has to vanish again it tears a piece of the current century with it. This way a wholly anachronistic, glowing city is created – a place where all times meet. It is a magical place to explore and it is oh so easy to get lost in there.⁣ Prints | Facebook | Instagram | Portfolio | ORIGINAL AVAILABLE

Gorgeous, have you ever seen a piece of artwork you wish you could walk into? This is one of those for me.

“All the Real Indians Died Off”: And 20 Other Myths About Native Americans (2016)  

“In this enlightening book, scholars and activists Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker tackle a wide range of myths about Native American culture and history that have misinformed generations. Tracing how these ideas evolved, and drawing from history, the authors disrupt long-held and enduring myths such as:

“Columbus Discovered America”

“Thanksgiving Proves the Indians Welcomed Pilgrims”

“Indians Were Savage and Warlike”

“Europeans Brought Civilization to Backward Indians”

“The United States Did Not Have a Policy of Genocide”

“Sports Mascots Honor Native Americans”

“Most Indians Are on Government Welfare”

“Indian Casinos Make Them All Rich”

“Indians Are Naturally Predisposed to Alcohol”

Each chapter deftly shows how these myths are rooted in the fears and prejudice of European settlers and in the larger political agendas of a settler state aimed at acquiring Indigenous land and tied to narratives of erasure and disappearance. Accessibly written and revelatory, “All the Real Indians Died Off” challenges readers to rethink what they have been taught about Native Americans and history.”

This is such a cool concept

Here’s how to charge your phone when it’s alive, full of guts, and you are a crab alien who lives in the sea. Scuds are amphibious, comfortable breathing on land as long as their gills stay damp, but they spend most of their time in saltwater intertidal zones. This makes human-style technology powered by heat and electricity improbable, so scuds never really developed that– instead, animal husbandry and artificial selection developed to the point that extremely sophisticated manufactured technology can be created through the surgical combination of extremely derived sedentary animals, alga, and bacteria.

So what powers a phone full of guts? The simplest form of food: sugar water with essential nutrients added. The charging cable also deals with the outgoing (mostly liquid) waste from digestion and the nitrogenous waste from the phone’s metabolic processes.

Ironically, while humans have trouble bringing our electrical technology underwater, scuds have trouble bringing their biotechnology onto land. Even with a lung attachment, biotech innards have a high risk of desiccation and temperature shock on land. For especially large or delicate pieces of technology, the lack of underwater buoyancy can cause internal distention and damage.

Yinka Shonibare’s art installation, The American Library, in the downtown branch of the Cleveland Public Library. 

It’s designed as two back-to-back rows of book stacks, with 6,000 books bound colorful fabrics. On each book’s spine is the name of a 1st or 2nd generation US immigrant who has influenced their adopted country’s culture.
