The Black Death comes; art by Theodor Kittelsen

The plague (which arrived in Norway in September of 1349)  was often personified as an old, wandering hag with a broom and a rake.  She would wander the countryside and pass through villages; if she swept the place with her broom, it meant everyone there would die, but if she only used her rake, it meant that some of the people there would live.  

I want to be able to art like this.

Reach within you and find the means by which to gain your freedom

I want one of those masks, a leather trench coat, a replica flamethrower and combat boots with black pants, andmy leather gloves

For Zachary, it started in the 3rd grade. First they said he looked and talked like a girl. Then they called him a “fag.”

Finally, when he reached 8th grade, the bullying turned cruelly violent — and school administrators did nothing. Stories like Zach’s are far from rare.

It’s time for this to stop. Tell Congress to protect our students from harassment and discrimination today.

If I saw that go down, that prick in the white shirt would be lucky to have another bigoted thought pass through his mind after I was done with him.

“One last thing. While you may be mistaking this for your monthly meeting of the ignorant tight-ass club, in this building when the President stands, nobody sits.”

President Josiah Bartlett takes down one of the fundamentalist crazy people that believe ‘homosexuality is an abomination’.  And it is awesome <3 :D

Aurora: Eagle Lights

The central light ribbon in this image resembles the head and beak of a bird, flanked by a radiant wingspan.

Wired explains the “atmospheric light show”

The sun is waking up. After several quiet years, it bombarded the Earth with two consecutive solar storms this [last] week, which generated many nights of spectacular auroras seen from backyards around the Northern Hemisphere.

The Earth’s magnetic field directs the torrent of charged particles from these storms toward the poles. Interactions with the atmosphere produce the wavering lines of beautiful color known as auroras, or Northern Lights.
